UJAM Black Friday 2026: $9 Virtual Players, SELECT Bundles and Every Price

Black Friday 2026 · UJAM

UJAM makes virtual session players: drummers, bassists, guitarists and pianists you steer with a few keys instead of programming every note. The whole catalogue is on sale at Plugin Boutique right now: 8 full instruments cost $9 and the build-your-own SELECT 3 bundle is $39, until December 9. Here's every price, when a SELECT bundle beats buying singles, and what I'd grab for beats.

Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, and Cyber Monday is November 30. All 43 UJAM products in this guide were on sale at Plugin Boutique when I checked on November 9, 2026, up to 93% off. Most of the deals run until December 9. The Usynth synths and Beatmaker drum machines run until January 10.

How UJAM works: you hold a key, a player performs a full part in the chosen style, and you change the pattern by changing the key. It's the fastest way I know to get a believable guitar or bass line under a beat when you can't play the instrument, and you can drag the MIDI into your DAW to edit it.

What UJAM did last Black Friday

In Plugin Boutique's 2025 Black Friday guide, UJAM ran a catalogue sale with Virtual Pianist VOGUE at $9, until December 7. That's the only UJAM detail in Plugin Boutique's 2025 guide, so I won't guess at the rest.

SELECT bundles: build your own, but do the math

Pick any three UJAM plugins (Hans Zimmer's Symphonic Elements are excluded, per Plugin Boutique's page) for $39. It pays off when your three picks are the $29 instruments: three of those bought one by one cost $87, so SELECT 3 saves $48. It does not pay off for the $9 titles. CINEDREAM, SOLID 2, BRUTE and ROYAL 2 are cheaper on their own than as a third of a bundle.

1. UJAM SELECT 3 Bundle — the one I'd start with

For a beatmaker I'd spend the three slots on SUBCRAFT, SPARKLE 2 and Virtual Pianist VOGUE: $77 bought separately on Nov 9, $39 as SELECT 3. SELECT 10 ($99) only pays if you'd use ten.

3. UJAM SUBCRAFT — 808s and sub bass

An 808 and sub bass instrument with built-in MIDI phrases, effects and a kick drum engine. UJAM tuned and processed every tone for consistent low end, which is exactly what random 808 samples lack.

4. UJAM SPARKLE 2 — electric guitar without a guitar

Chords, octaves and single-note riffs from funky clean to indie rock: more than 30 styles, 350 phrases, 30 stompbox emulations and an instrument mode for your own parts. For acoustic songs, AMBER 2 ($29) is the strummed steel-string version.

5. UJAM Virtual Pianist VOGUE — grand piano, no piano skills

Pop piano parts with 30 styles, 180 phrases and 150 fills. At $29 it's fine value, but it hit $9 in last year's sale.

6. UJAM Groovemate ONE — percussion for $5

Shakers, congas and the background percussion that makes a loop move, in 30 styles. The cheapest useful thing in the sale.

7. UJAM Finisher RETRO — instant old-school color

Classic reverbs, delays, flangers, tubes and tape hiss in one plugin, for a 60s to 90s sound.

Plugin Boutique, Nov 9: $5 $59 · sale ends Dec 9 · See today's price →

8. UJAM VOXCRAFT — for vocal samples and chops

Turns plain vocal samples into styled sounds, from airy ballads to pitched trap chops. A sound-design tool for samples, not a lead-vocal chain.

Plugin Boutique, Nov 9: $39 $69 · sale ends Dec 9 · See today's price →

The $9 instruments on Nov 9: CINEDREAM, SOLID 2, BRUTE, ROYAL 2, MELLOW 2, DANDY, Virtual Pianist VIBE and Usynth 2080.

The other UJAM bundles

Bundle prices on Nov 9: Virtual Guitarist Bundle $99, Virtual Drummer 2 Bundle $99, Virtual Bassist Bundle 2 $59, Finisher Bundle $49, UFX Bundle $39, Usynth Bundle $99 and Music Creation Suite $499.

The Virtual Guitarist Bundle contains SPARKLE 2, IRON 2, CARBON, AMBER 2 and SILK 2, which cost $145 bought one by one today, so it saves $46. The drummer and bassist bundles are less clear-cut, because SOLID 2, ROYAL 2 and MELLOW 2 are $9 each on their own. The Music Creation Suite ($499, list $1,199) is everything: 74 plugins, per Plugin Boutique's page, including Hans Zimmer's Symphonic Elements. Owners of 30 or more paid UJAM products can upgrade for $149.

Buy now or wait?

Buy now if a UJAM title is on your list. The sale runs until December 9, past Black Friday (November 27) and Cyber Monday (November 30), so you don't have to time it. One exception: VOGUE was $9 in last year's sale and $29 on Nov 9, so if that's all you want, check again in Black Friday week. Every paid order also comes with a free gift: on November 9 any paid order could pick UVI's Tape Suite (four tape-effect plugins, $99) or Excite Audio's Evolve Elastic Lite, and orders from $49 could take IK Multimedia's ReSing SE ($39.99) instead.

UJAM builds the band. The vocal is still on you.

The Vocal Chain eBible collects 88 vocal chains from hit records, as the engineers described them to me: every plugin, its settings and the order it sits in. Each chain comes in two versions, one with paid plugins and one with free ones, so you know exactly what is worth buying this week.

5+ years ago I moved to LA with zero connections and started building from nothing — 14-hour days, meeting people and interning at studios. It took me 5+ years to meet and interview 100+ Grammy-winning engineers — then I turned it all into the Vocal Chain Bible.
