The x eight Black Friday deal from Thenatan Audio takes 87% off X-Eight 2, an 808 VST that comes to $10 until Nov 19, 2026.
X-Eight 2 is the expanded follow-up to the original X-Eight 808 VST. The maker says it adds more advanced controls plus improvements to the sound and the interface.
It is built for 808 basses and kicks in hip-hop, future bass and trap. The maker describes the aim as tight, hard-hitting 808s that cut through a mix with little effort.
The library holds 1342 sub, kick and extra samples, running from deep and subtle to long, heavy and distorted.
The plugin also ships with 1200 factory presets. Patches are shareable, and a preset browser helps you move through them.
Here is the main feature list:
Modulation comes from a Pitch LFO, a Filter LFO and a Filter envelope. You can use them for gentle vibrato or for heavily moving filters and pitch.
The randomize button gives you a quick way to land on a new patch. It works with the LFOs and envelopes to generate variations.
There are 10 effects on board. The list covers Damage, Bit Crusher, Freak, DjFilter, MonoBass, a 3-band equalizer, Saturation, Lp/Hp filters and a Stereo Widener.
Saturation, bit crushing and filtering are there for adding grit to a sub-bass part without leaving the plugin.
The maker says the sample library is highly compressed, so X-Eight 2 takes up only 270 MB on disk. You can install the samples on an external hard drive.
The vector interface resizes up to 200% and stays sharp and smooth, with animations included.
X-Eight 2 runs on Mac and PC, and the maker lists it as compatible with all updates.
