Native Instruments and iZotope have officially launched their 2025 Holiday Sale, offering a combination of free plugins and tiered discounts across their catalogs. Running from December 15, the promotion is positioned as an end-of-year upgrade window for producers, mixers, and DJs looking to expand their toolkits while also lowering the barrier for newer users through limited-time free releases.
At the center of this year’s campaign are two complimentary products: a new Massive X expansion from Native Instruments and iZotope’s Insight 2 metering plugin. Alongside the free offerings, both brands are rolling out flexible discounts across instruments, effects, and bundles, covering everything from individual plugins to large production suites.
A Quick Roundup

Two Free Plugins to Close Out the Year
For a limited time, Native Instruments is offering Creative Chords, a new expansion for Massive X and the free Massive X Player. Built entirely around Massive X’s Chord Mode, the expansion includes 50 presets designed to generate harmonic material from single-note input. The focus is on fast chord creation, voicing variation, and harmonic experimentation without requiring advanced music theory or programming.
On the iZotope side, Insight 2 is being made available for free during the holiday window. Normally priced at $199, Insight 2 is a professional audio analysis and metering plugin used for loudness measurement, stereo imaging, spectral balance, and compliance with streaming and broadcast standards. It is commonly used in music production, film, television, and post-production workflows, making it one of the most practical free tools offered during this sale period.
Native Instruments Holiday Discounts
Native Instruments is structuring its holiday promotion around tiered savings, allowing users to build custom carts rather than locking discounts behind preset bundles. Purchases over $100 receive 10% off, orders over $200 receive 20% off, and carts exceeding $500 qualify for 30% off across a wide range of non-bundle software.
DJs are also included in this year’s sale, with Traktor Pro 4 available for $99, or $49 for existing users upgrading. Subscribers can also take advantage of NI 360, which is available at a discounted rate of 12 months for the price of 9, providing access to production, mixing, and mastering tools under one subscription.
iZotope Bundles and Creative Tools on Sale
iZotope’s holiday promotion places emphasis on bundled workflows. Major suites, including Music Production Suite 8, Post Production Suite 8.6, and the Everything Bundle, are available at 30% off. Purchasers of any iZotope bundle also receive a voucher for an Elements-tier plugin of their choice, which can be redeemed personally or given to another user.
Individual plugins are also discounted, with several creative and utility tools priced at $29, including select Catalyst Series plugins, Trash, VocalSynth 2, and Neoverb. Tonal Balance Control 2 is available for $49, offering an accessible entry point for mix referencing and frequency balance management. Flagship plugins such as Nectar 4, RX 11, and Neutron 5 are discounted by up to 30%.
Ongoing Free Tools Beyond the Sale
In addition to the holiday promotion, both brands continue to offer free tools year-round. Native Instruments maintains Massive X Player and Komplete Start, while iZotope provides free plugins including Vinyl, Vocal Doubler, and Trash Lite. These tools remain available beyond the holiday window for users building or expanding their setups over time.
