Sound Character and Range of Presets

The bank contains 100 new sounds designed to show what String Studio VS-3 can do. Applied Acoustics Systems describes the collection as covering a wide spread of tones, from familiar, organic textures to uncommon and experimental ones.

The focus is on expressive, instrument-like playing. If you want sounds that feel less like generic synth patches and more like a played instrument, this bank is aimed at that goal. It also works as a starting point for shaping your own variations.

Who Masala 2 Is For and How to Run It

Masala 2 suits producers who already use String Studio VS-3 and want a large set of new starting points. Because it adds 100 presets in one package, it is a practical expansion for existing sessions and sound libraries.

The bank installs into String Studio VS-3, where Reverence is added automatically if the synth is present on your computer. Without String Studio VS-3, you can still play the sounds through the free AAS Player plug-in or its standalone application. A serial number is included with the download.
