01Overview

Hover is a preset collection built for Chromaphone 3, Applied Acoustics Systems' analogue synthesizer. Its 100 presets are designed by sound designer Niall McCallum and span tuned percussion, drums, deep mallets, rich keys and driving basses. The collection also moves into textural territory with shimmering reverb and delay-drenched guitar-like synths, sweeping sound effects and dusty analogue tones. The developer says the pack is centered on the vibe and character of chillwave and downtempo music.

Sound Range and Character

Hover draws on Chromaphone 3's strengths in percussion and tuned instruments. The presets include intricate tuned percussion, sturdy drums and deep mallet sounds, along with rich keys and driving basses.

The bank also explores more atmospheric sounds. Shimmering reverb and delay-heavy guitar-like synths sit alongside sweeping sound effects and dusty analogue synthesizer tones. Applied Acoustics Systems positions the collection around chillwave and downtempo aesthetics.

Using Hover With Chromaphone 3 or AAS Player

Hover is a preset bank for Chromaphone 3. Once installed, the presets are added to Chromaphone 3 automatically if it is present on your computer, under the Octagon name.

If you do not own Chromaphone 3, the presets can still be played from the free AAS Player plug-in or standalone application. The bank is therefore accessible to producers working with either option.
