Everything Bundle V4 is a good buy at $399 if you’ll realistically use its MIDI tools, its mixing utilities and its sample library, and a poor buy if you only need one of those three.

That’s the whole decision.

It packs 59 plugins and 100 sample packs into a single purchase. For a producer starting a studio from scratch, or one who keeps buying small tools one at a time, that’s a serious amount of material. For someone who already owns a mixing chain they trust and writes everything by ear, most of it will sit in a folder.

We like the idea of this bundle more than we like every plugin inside it. A few of the tools have reported stability problems, and one MIDI plugin has a known Apple Silicon issue.

Read on for what’s inside, where the value holds up, and who should walk away.

What You're Actually Getting

The headline numbers: 59 plugins, split into 6 MIDI plugins and 51 FX plugins. Two synthesizers, Babylon 2 and ImPerfect. Then 100 sample packs totalling 70GB or more.

V4 adds 11 new items: 9 completely new plugins and 2 major upgrades. It also brings 20 new sample packs, and the developer removed outdated products along the way.

The developer calls it the most advanced and expansive edition of its flagship bundle series. That’s marketing, so take it as marketing. The raw content is what matters.

The MIDI Toolkit: Six Plugins That Change How You Start a Track

The six MIDI plugins are InstaComposer 3, Loop Engine 3, InstaChord 2, Chords Pro + Notes, MIDIQ and InstaScale.

This is the part reviewers get most excited about. They describe the MIDI tools as genuinely inspiring and easy to use. That’s a rare thing to say about chord and scale utilities, which often feel like homework.

Picture the blank-project problem. It’s 11pm, your drums are programmed, and you’ve got nothing harmonic to sit under them. This category of tool exists for that moment. Instead of staring at an empty piano roll, you reach for a scale tool or a chord generator and get ideas on screen in seconds.

InstaChord 2 and the Apple Silicon Problem

Here’s the catch. InstaChord 2 has known compatibility issues on Apple Silicon Macs. The developer says it’s working to resolve them.

If you’re on an M-series Mac, that’s annoying. A chord tool you can’t rely on is a chord tool you won’t open. Check the current status before you commit, because you’d be paying for a headline plugin you might not be able to use yet.

On Windows, no such complaint appears.

The FX Collection: 51 Plugins and a Lot of Choice

The FX side is the biggest part of the bundle. It covers creative effects, dynamics, distortion, spatial tools, vocal processing and mastering utilities.

Names you’ll meet include Drifter, Noizzer, Ignition, DJFX, MixBoss, Detroubler, ChopBeast and BassShaper, among others. Fifty-one is too many to love equally, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Some will become staples. Others you’ll open once and forget.

Users praise the audio processors for doing what they claim, brilliantly and with no fuss. That’s a better compliment than it sounds. A plugin that does one job cleanly and gets out of the way beats a flashy one that needs a manual.

Mixing and Low-End Tools

MixBoss and BassShaper are the two you’d probably reach for on a busy session. One is aimed at balancing a mix, the other at the low end.

They’re also the two with a reliability flag. Users report both crashing intermittently in sessions and stopping playback. That’s frustrating in the worst way, because it happens mid-flow.

Save often. Bounce stems before you lean on either one in a deadline session. Don’t build your whole mix around a plugin that’s known to drop out.

Creative and Performance Effects

Creative and Performance Effects

Drifter, Noizzer, DJFX and ChopBeast sit on the creative side. Think movement, grit, stutter and DJ-style transitions.

Say you’ve got a flat eight-bar loop that needs a lift into the drop. A performance effect like DJFX is the sort of tool you automate across the last bar to build tension. We’d rather you try that than bury a loop under reverb.

Detroubler and Ignition fill out the corrective and dynamics end. We can’t promise you’ll love every one. That’s the nature of a bundle this big.

The Two Synths: Babylon 2 and ImPerfect

Two synthesizers ship in the bundle. That’s a small number next to 51 effects.

The developer says they cover modern leads, textured pads and experimental tones. We can’t promise how they stack up against dedicated synth flagships, and the thin count tells you where the bundle’s priorities lie.

If synthesis is your main thing, treat these as a bonus. They aren’t the reason to buy.

The Sample Library: 100 Packs, 70GB or More

This is where a lot of the raw value hides. One hundred packs, royalty-free, covering drums, vocals, FX, melodies, one-shots, construction kits and presets. The developer says all major genres are covered.

Royalty-free matters. You can build on this material and release it without chasing clearances.

The 20 new packs in V4 are a nice sweetener for returning owners.

The Storage Bill

Seventy gigabytes is real. On a laptop with a 256GB drive, that’s a chunk you’ll feel. Plan for an external SSD, or install only the packs in genres you actually make.

It’s a hidden cost, and it’s worth budgeting for before you hit download.

Is $399 Good Value for Money?

Let’s do the maths without the number. You’re getting 59 plugins and 100 sample packs from one developer. Buying even a fraction of that individually would cost far more than $399.

That’s the pitch, and it holds up on volume alone.

But volume isn’t value. Value is what you’ll actually open. If you’ll use the MIDI tools daily and reach for three or four effects regularly, $399 pays for itself fast. If you’ll use two plugins, you’ve overpaid for a very large folder.

Users call the pricing reasonable and say the experience is intuitive. Customers also like the frequent new content and the bundle deals. That frequent-update habit matters, because it means your purchase tends to grow.

A cheaper route exists if you only want one category. Buy the individual tool, skip the bundle. Free alternatives cover plenty of basic EQ and compression needs too, so don’t pay for things you already own.

What's Missing at This Price

No trial is confirmed in what we know, so you can’t audition before you commit. That’s a risk at this price.

Stability worries on MixBoss and BassShaper, plus the InstaChord 2 Apple Silicon issue, mean three named plugins carry caveats. And a Windows 11 user reported a 13-15% CPU increase, which is worth noticing if your machine is already stretched.

Support and Updates

One reviewer highlights a prompt customer service response and quick resolution of a plugin display issue. That’s reassuring for a bundle this large, where something will eventually misbehave on your setup.

Owners generally say W.A. products cover nearly every part of production with high quality. The steady release of new content is a plus. A bundle that keeps growing ages better than one that stalls.

Who Should Buy This

✅ Buy if you’re building a studio from scratch and want MIDI, mixing, synths and samples covered in one go.

✅ Buy if you struggle to start tracks and want chord and scale tools to get you moving.

✅ Buy if you sample-dive daily and 100 royalty-free packs will actually get used.

❌ Skip if you’re on an Apple Silicon Mac and InstaChord 2 is the main draw.

❌ Skip if you only need one or two effects. Buy those individually.

❌ Skip if your drive is nearly full. You’ll fight the 70GB install.

Our Verdict: Buy It, With Eyes Open

We’d buy this bundle at $399 if our workflow leaned on MIDI generation and a broad effects shelf. The sheer amount of usable material is the draw, and the MIDI tools are the highlight.

We’d hesitate on an Apple Silicon Mac until InstaChord 2 is sorted. And we’d keep a backup habit around MixBoss and BassShaper.

If you’ll touch only a handful of these 59 plugins, the bundle is the wrong shape for you. Buy those individually and keep your drive space.

Everything else? A big, honest toolbox with a few rough edges.
