Seven Amazing Virtual Instruments for One Great Price!

Buy Applied Acoustics Systems' AAS Modeling Collection and save big on the entire Professional Series super-realistic virtual instrument lineup. In all, the AAS Modeling Collection includes six instruments, ranging from the mellow strains of Lounge Lizard EP-4's cool electric piano sounds to the natural cadence of Strum GS-2’s guitar emulation. What's more, all of the instruments in the AAS Modeling Collection are remarkably lightweight, so you don't need the latest rocket ship of a computer to run them. And at only 70MB (remember, these virtual instruments are based on modeling, not samples), you'll have Applied Acoustics Systems' AAS Modeling Collection downloaded and up and running in minutes.

Create echo soundscapes with Objeq Delay

Objeq Delay is a creative delay plug-in with unique filtering options, courtesy of Applied Acoustics' acoustic object models. Going way beyond traditional delay functionality, Objeq Delay serves up modulator-type effects, drum track layering, one-shot re-crafting, dynamic loop mangling, and mesmerizing drones.

Capture the sound of any vintage electric piano with Lounge Lizard EP-4

All mechanisms used in the Lounge Lizard's hardware equivalents are precisely replicated, including the hammer, tone bar, tine, and pick up. The sound is calculated in real time in accordance with the controls the program receives, resulting in unmatched realism and warmth. The Lounge Lizard EP-4 comes with presets modeled after classic electric piano sounds, but users can also modify the existing sounds to create their own signature tones, saving them as user presets for instant recall. All parameters of the Lounge Lizard may also be automated via MIDI, allowing users to morph between presets, creating ever-changing tones.

Dive into rich analog synthesis with Ultra Analog VA-3

It's no secret that software synthesizers are getting more and more complex. It seems that by the time you've learned how to access only a few of the functions, you're three upgrades behind. Who would imagine that the simple solution to virtual analog synthesis would come from two gentlemen with doctorates in acoustics. From the color-coded interface to the carefully chosen modulation options and the simple yet flexible signal path, Applied Acoustics' Ultra Analog VA-3 shines by virtue of its simplicity, ergonomics, and amazing sound.

Conjure up realistic stringed instrument sounds with String Studio VS-3

Applied Acoustics Systems' new String Studio delivers stunning guitars, basses, harps, clavinet, bowed instruments, and percussion, as well as rich and animated tones that blend the warm organic density of real-life with unique and innovative timbres from "imaginary" instruments. Instead of relying on samples and wavetables, String Studio generates sounds on the fly using accurate modeling of the various acoustic components involved in recreating stringed instruments, calculating their interactions as well as the control signals it receives as you play. Thanks to this approach, String Studio captures the richness and diversity of acoustic textures and reproduces the quirks, subtleties, and responsiveness of real-life instruments, resulting in sounds with remarkable liveliness.

Add acoustic and electric rhythm guitar to your tracks with Strum GS-2

The Applied Acoustics Strum GS-2 guitar modeling plug-in synthesizer not only offers natural acoustic and electric guitar sounds, it lets you play with ease. If you're a keyboardist and want to add guitar to your tracks, this is your solution. Strum GS-2 lets you choose from an amazing array of acoustic and electric instruments. Choose from Auto Strum, MIDI loops, or "strum" the keys manually, and use the built-in effects to give even more depth and texture to Strum GS-2.

Define the sound of your own percussion with Chromaphone 3

Expand your percussion library with the Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone 3 percussion synthesizer. Not only do you have access to over 400 factory sounds, but you can also create your own instruments with just a few clicks. Chromaphone 3's state-of-the-art physical modeling gives your creations amazing realism and tonal depth. Mix and match different aspects of different instruments to create the perfect sound for your recordings and live performances. Create the expressive and responsive percussion sounds you need with the Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone 3 percussion synthesizer!

Incredible sounds, deal is better than listed

It's hard to believe some of these sounds aren't sampled until you play around with them a bit and realize they sound better than sampled libraries. You will not find a better way to expand your library in a more complete and higher quality way than this package at this price.

The blurb on the sales page is incomplete. This package now includes Multiphonics CV-1 modular synthesizer! Or at least, mine did.

Applied Acoustics Systems AAS - Modeling Collection Virtual Instrument Bundle

I have been a customer of AAS for several years and own a licence for nearly every VST product they sell. I purchased this bundled deal for installation on a newer Windows 10 PC. I could have transferred my licences however the Windows 7 PC they are installed on has additional VST and music software from many other vendors installed and works exceptionally well as configured. My primary reason for migrating to a Windows 10 PC was that my Presonus Studio One 5 DAW update and Notion 6 update are no longer supported by Windows 7.

The bundle I purchased included 5 VST instruments and 1 "Acoustic filter and Delay" a.k.a "Objeq Delay".

The 5 VST instruments include: (All latest released versions)

Chromaphone 3 Acoustic Object Synthesizer
Lounge Lizard EP-4 Electric Piano
String Studio VS-3 String Oscillator Synthesizer
Ultra Analog VA-3 Analog Synthesizer
Strum GS-2 Acoustic\Electric Guitar Synthesizer

What makes all these products unique is the sophisticated, high quality mathematical models AAS has developed
and employed which gives these powerful simulations their amazing flexibility and clear, natural sound without the need of referencing gigabytes of wave file samples on your PC hard drive. The additional libraries available from AAS are composed of professionally engineered presets which are inexpensive, download quickly and take up relatively little space on your disk. It is also a simple matter to tweek the presets in order to create your own additional custom, personal sound libraries.

Although these simulations may sound extremely good a professional musician may wonder how even a very good emulation could possibly compare to the sound of a real instrument. Doubtless it is impossible to duplicate all the complex subtleties of a Stradivarius violin. It must be realized however that even very expensive physical instruments can't approach such quality. It must also be recognized that even extremely expensive professionally sampled sound libraries are limited not only by the competence of the sound engineer but by the equipment they have available and the conditions under which the recordings were made. My point is that even live recorded sound bytes cannot exactly duplicate all the subtle nuances of a live performance. In addition to the cost of such high quality, professionally sampled sound library collections is the issue of the giga bytes of storage required for what may be a difference only a trained ear could detect. These emulations may not be perfect, however they are very good and any major differences in the quality of the sound can easily be adjusted or would most likely be masked in the mix. This complete bundle even at list price probably costs less than a single high quality sampled library.

This package is an excellent addition to most any modern DAW. I have personally used it with SONAR Platinum, FL Studio 20 and Presonus Studio One Pro ver 1 through 5. This package is a terrific addition to any DAW's supplied collection of VST synths.


Each of these products is tailored to a specific niche although there is some overlap in capabilities between some of the VST modules. While they are all very good my two favorites are STRUM and Chromaphone 3. Strum is a simple to use, powerful keyboard oriented tool for creating professional sounding electric or acoustic guitar simulations. Chromaphone 3 is a bit more complicated to explain however it is powerful, fun to experiment with and provides unique sound creation options not possible with the stock VSTs available within most DAW environments.

*** ( I have not tried the newer versions on Windows 7 or with Apple or Linux OS so I would check with AAS for confirmation of their compatibility).
