Rave Generator 3 Black Friday pricing drops this rompler/sampler plugin to $69, which is 56% off, and the deal ends Nov 30, 2026.
It is a multi-timbral sampler plugin aimed at old-school rave and 90s techno. The sample content comes from the early rave and hardcore era, with the iconic stab sound at the centre.
The Rave Generator 3 plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AudioUnit and AAX, on both Windows and Mac.
The maker says the sound engine is designed to recreate the raw, vintage character of the hardware samplers from that period. You can stack up to 16 instruments in one patch.
A preset here is more than a single sample. Audio Blast says each one blends several sounds together, and presets can pull in elements from external sources too.
You browse presets through your host's own preset system, and you can load or save individual presets.
On the effects side, there is an Akaize old-fashioned sampler effect, plus delay, reverb and a phaser. Four filters are on board: LPF, HPF, BPF and BRF.
You can also shape each sound with parameters such as pitch, volume and pan.
On Mac, the plugin supports macOS 10.14, 10.15, 11, 12, 13 and 14 (latest update). It needs an Intel Core i5 or equivalent CPU and 2 GB of RAM.
On Windows, it supports Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11, with the same Intel Core i5 or equivalent CPU and 2 GB of RAM.
An internet connection is needed to install and update the product.
If you get the plugin through a Rent to Own plan or the Beatport Studio membership, it installs and runs through the Beatport Access portal. That route needs an internet connection every 30 days to validate your license.
