Sound Character and Preset Types

The bank focuses on analog synth sounds. Applied Acoustics Systems describes the presets as rich, powerful and attention-getting, built on the developer's aggressive and effective analog timbres from the earlier Ultra-Analog VA-1.

The collection spans several preset categories, so you can source a bass, a pad, a lead or an effect from the same instrument. This makes it useful for building a track's sound palette from one source.

Requirements and How to Play the Presets

Analog Essentials requires the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer. After installing the sound bank, the presets are added automatically to Ultra-Analog VA-3 if it is installed on your computer, appearing as Ultra-Analog VA-3 Reverence.

If you do not own Ultra-Analog VA-3, you can play the presets through the free AAS Player plug-in or its standalone application. The package includes the AAS Player plug-in in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats, along with a serial number.
