Sound Character and Macro Control

The pads cover a wide range of tones, from serene ambiences to more textured sounds. Applied Acoustics Systems says the collection is built for composers who want calm, introspective and emotionally nuanced material.

Each preset includes four assigned macros. These let you adjust a pad and move its sound over time, which is useful for creating evolving, organic motion without rebuilding the patch from scratch.

Who It Is For and How It Is Used

The bank is aimed at film and cinematic scoring, ambient composition and experimental production. It works as a starting point for atmospheric layers, background textures and sound design.

Because the pads are sorted as a sound bank, you can audition them directly in Ultra-Analog VA-3 and build on them in your own arrangements.
