Sound Categories and Scene Coverage

The 142 presets are sorted into five categories: Cluster, Rhythm, SFX, Synthesizer and Texture. Cluster and Texture presets focus on layered, evolving beds, while Rhythm and SFX presets add moving elements and effects.

Applied Acoustics Systems positions the set for film, trailer and game work, with patches meant to support tension, warmth or unease depending on the scene. Because the presets are grouped by function, it is practical to audition a whole category when you need a specific texture.

Using Cinémathèque with Ultra-Analog VA-3 or AAS Player

Cinémathèque is a preset bank for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 analog synthesizer. After installation, the presets are added to Ultra-Analog VA-3 automatically if the synth is installed on your computer. Presets appear as Ultra-Analog VA-3 Reverence.
