Technostica 271 Posted January 31 I have String Studio VS-2 which I like. It doesn't work with the latest packs but it's not tempting me to upgrade. Of course they work with the free Player but you lose most of the control then. Keep an eye out for VS-2 as it's often about $20 which is what I paid. Will lack some features such as native M1 support etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starship Krupa 4,036 Posted January 31 As always, I would like to mention that Swatches/Player has also been updated with sounds from Asymmetric. And I believe that for the first time, A|A|S' installer is allowing the choice of exactly which formats to install, good news for those of us who are weary of purging our systems of AAX. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing around with the String Studio VS-3 demo, which I already have a few sound packs for. It's on sale at AAS for $99 right now, and it's tempting even though I already have Chromaphone 3 and Ultra Analog VA-3... Edit: Uh-oh, String Studio VS-3 is $81 at Thomann, $82.00 at Best Service, $83.16 at JRR with code "GROUP", $88.98 at Audio Deluxe with code "JAN2023" applied in cart, and $89.88 at PluginBoutique. I have $2.28 in BestCoin making it $79.72 for me at Best Service... 🤪 https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/price-history/aas-string-studio-vs-3-by-applied-acoustics-systems/ Edited January 31 by abacab 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 7,671 Posted February 1 (edited) Installed! Got the Asymmetric sound pack for free! It was included with the purchase String Studio VS-3, which I picked up at Best Service. Apparently an AAS promotion for this month only! "SPECIAL OFFER! Get String Studio VS-3 for 50% off. Asymmetric - Sound Pack is included with every purchase only through February 28, 2023." https://www.ilio.com/string-studio-3 Factoid: Asymmetric was created by the same sound designer that made Analog Orchestra for Ultra Analog VA-3. Cipryan Bot is a Romanian music producer who collaborated with labels such as Armada Music, Magic Island, and Solaris Recordings for original tracks and remixes. His main background is electronic and telecommunications engineering but his attraction for music and designing real-like and electronic sounds transformed his hobby into a passion.

Starship Krupa 4,036 Posted February 1 That's a nice-sounding demo. I will put Asymmetric on my want list. One thing I like about it is that it doesn't include the usual dozen or more drum kit sounds that I'll never use. Which brings me to: why doesn't A|A|S, with their amazing acoustic modeling engine, have a drum machine? I would TOTALLY use their drum kit sounds in that context. When they come in the soundpacks, it seems too computationally expensive to stick an instance of Player on its own track just to get a snare sound. I suppose I could sample them and build a kit that way, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go to. A velocity sensitive drum machine built around the A|A|S modeling engine, that is something that would definitely interest me. Still haven't found my perfect virtual drum machine.

Magic Russ 809 Posted February 2 That's a fairly good idea. Although if you only have a couple of drum sounds (as opposed to wanting dozens of varieties of snares, etc) it doesn't take a lot of time to sample the ones you want and pop them into Battery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 7,671 Posted February 2 (edited) Or just pop in an instance of Drumsynth 500. It is an 8 channel MIDI drum synth plugin: Kick & Snare use analog synth oscillators, Clap & Hats use analog noise oscillators, Toms & Percussion use FM synth operators, and there are 2 sampler slots open for your samples.
