MicroFX Refiner Black Friday pricing is $39, 20% off, with the deal ending Dec 18, 2026, on Heavyocity's multi-effect plugin for finishing busses, stems and quick masters.
It is a single plugin that puts the usual bus-processing steps in one window, so you don't have to build the chain from separate inserts.
Heavyocity describes MicroFX Refiner as a mix sweetener for tightening and driving instrument busses. The maker says it covers polishing a mix, making a quick master, and gluing stems.
You set how the mix feels, whether tight, bright or polished, and the plugin handles the chain behind it.
The core is a fixed signal chain with these stages:
The maker positions this as an all-in-one bus tool, so a sub-mix, a master or a stem group can go through one plugin.
The XY grid is the main control. Drag your mouse to balance loudness against character in one move.
There are three modes: Gentle, Wide and Punchy. Emphasis, Width, Clarity and Clipping give you further control, and an extra Dirty option adds more grit.
The plugin ships with 36 presets in three categories: Drums, Instruments and Mastering. Heavyocity says each preset tunes the chain for its job, which gives you a starting point for a bus before you dial it in.
MicroFX Refiner comes as AAX, VST3 and Audio Units (AU), so it runs as a VST3 plugin in hosts that support the format. On Mac you need OS 12 or later, Intel and Silicon both supported, 64-bit only. On Windows you need Windows 10 or later, 64-bit only.
Supported hosts are Pro Tools 2020+, Live 10+, Cubase 12+, Logic Pro X, DP10+ and Bitwig.
Activation needs an internet connection and a Heavyocity.com account.
If you want a bus processor that bundles the chain into one MicroFX plugin, this is the Heavyocity deal to look at.
