01Overview

Brazil Now Strum GS-2 Sound Bank focuses on the guitar sounds and rhythms of contemporary Brazil rather than traditional samba and bossa nova alone. Thiago Pinheiro created the presets to reflect grooves heard across radio, clubs and street parties, mixing regional energy with funk, rock and pop. The bank is built for producers who want to play their own chord progressions over a current Brazilian feel.

Styles and Character of the Brazil Now Presets

The bank covers 12 distinct styles that range from celebratory and sun-drenched to raw, percussive and groove-driven. Applied Acoustics Systems describes the presets as rooted in tradition but shaped by funk, rock, pop and regional energy.

The collection draws on contemporary rhythms from cities such as Rio and Salvador. Each style aims to sound unmistakably Brazilian while staying current, which makes the bank useful for pop, electronic and film productions that need a regional flavor without a dated sound.

Presets, Strumming Patterns and Setup

Brazil Now includes 84 presets and 84 strumming patterns for Strum GS-2. Because the patterns are designed for immediate playability, you can drop them under your own chord progressions and adjust from there.

If you own Strum GS-2, the Pop Rocks content is added to the plugin automatically after installation. Without Strum GS-2, you can play the sounds through the free AAS Player plugin, which is available as a VST, AU, AAX or RTAS plugin or as a standalone application.
