01Overview

Ultra FX is a preset bank from Applied Acoustics Systems built for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer. The collection is aimed at sound designers working on film, animation and video games, with customizable sound ideas, room tones and sound effects. Because it is a set of presets rather than a standalone instrument, it extends what the synthesizer can produce without changing how it is played.

What the Sound Bank Covers

Ultra FX focuses on three types of material: sound ideas, room tones and sound effects. Sound ideas are starting points that can be shaped further, which suits designers who need a base for a specific scene or effect.

Room tones add the ambient bed that often sits under dialogue, scenes or game environments. Sound effects round out the set for designers who need recognizable elements to build a soundtrack or interactive audio layer.

The developer describes the bank as highly customizable, so each preset is meant to be a starting point rather than a finished sound.

Setup and Ways to Play It

The sound bank works in two ways. If Ultra-Analog VA-3 is installed on your computer, Ultra-Analog VA-3 Reverence is added to it automatically after the sound bank is installed.

If you do not own Ultra-Analog VA-3, you can play Reverence from the free AAS Player plug-in, which is also available as a standalone application.

The purchase includes the preset bank for Ultra-Analog VA-3, the AAS Player plug-in in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats, and a serial number.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

What do I need to use Ultra FX?

Ultra FX is a preset bank for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer, so you need Ultra-Analog VA-3 installed to use it there. If you do not own VA-3, you can play the Reverence patch through the free AAS Player plug-in or standalone application.

Do I need Ultra-Analog VA-3 to play these sounds?

No. The purchase includes the AAS Player plug-in, which can play Reverence without Ultra-Analog VA-3. Owning VA-3 is only required if you want the presets inside the synthesizer itself.
