The KSHMR Essentials Black Friday deal puts 60% off this multi-effect plugin from W. A. Production, bringing it to $15.96 until Nov 29, 2026.
KSHMR Essentials is a KSHMR-designed artist plugin with a dedicated processing chain for bass, drums, kick, synths and vocals. Each chain has 8 modules, and every module is a single dial.
The maker says the idea is to put a professional producer's favourite signal chains in one panel, with the complex settings kept behind the scenes.
Pick the chain that matches your source and turn the dials. The routing between modules is set by KSHMR, so you shape the sound rather than build the chain.
The bass chain starts by adding upper harmonics, which the maker says helps the bass translate on smaller systems. Fuzz adds shaped distortion, and the Sub dial generates a subtle sub layer when set to your track's root key.
Side Cut tightens the centre, Width pushes it out, and a final Compressor glues the chain.
The kick chain has Sub bass, Mid, Air, Transients, Tape saturation, Pressure, Compression and Width. Tape runs from light saturation to full distortion, and Pressure is a tailored multiband compressor.
The drum chain runs Air, Body, Details, Pressure, Transients, Tape saturation, Width and Glue.
Synths get Body, Presence, Air, Exciter, Details, Pressure, Expand and Glue. Vocals get Gate, Body, Clarity, Air, Compression, Pressure, Spread and Glue, with the gate there to clear breaths and room noise.
The maker describes the plugin as responsive and CPU friendly.
On Mac, KSHMR Essentials needs macOS 10.13 or later (32/64-bit) and comes as VST, AU and AAX. On Windows, it needs Windows 8 or later (32/64-bit) and comes as VST and AAX.
The AAX version requires Pro Tools 11 or higher.
