01Overview

Frontier String Studio VS-3 Sound Bank is a preset collection for the String Studio VS-3 analog synthesizer from Applied Acoustics Systems. The bank is built by sound designer Daniel Stawczyk, who also made the earlier Starlight and Cinémathèque banks. The 130 presets are sorted into arpeggiator, gated, lead, keys, plucked, effects and synth categories. Sound designer Daniel Stawczyk describes the sounds as inspired by deep-space exploration, aimed at futuristic and science-fiction music.

03In depth

Sound Categories and Character

The 130 presets are divided into seven categories: arpeggiator, gated, lead, keys, plucked, effects and synths. This layout makes it easy to find a starting point for a specific part, such as a lead line, a keyboard sound or a rhythmic arpeggio.

The developer frames the bank around a space theme, with sounds meant to evoke the environments found around distant celestial bodies. Producers working on sci-fi scores, cinematic beds or parallel-universe stories are the most obvious fit for that character.

Compatibility and What You Need

Frontier requires String Studio VS-3. Once installed, the expansion is added automatically to String Studio VS-2 if that version is on your computer. Without String Studio VS-3, you can still play the presets through the free AAS Player plug-in or standalone application.

The package includes the preset bank for String Studio VS-3 and AAS Player, the AAS Player plug-in and a serial number.
