The AAS Beatmaker Bundle Black Friday deal takes 50% off a set of four sound banks from Applied Acoustics Systems, bringing it to $49 until Nov 18, 2026.
The bundle is aimed at hip-hop beatmakers. The maker says it covers Trap, Boom Bap and Lo-Fi, plus Cloud Trap, RnB and ambient in places.
These are expansion packs, not standalone instruments. You load them in the free AAS Player plugin, or in Ultra-Analog VA-3, Strum GS-2 and Chromaphone 3.
The bundle is described as a collection of 4 highly rated sound banks:
Urban Trip is a hip-hop toolbox made by AAS sound designer Emeric Zubar, a.k.a. BLAKE. AAS says it covers the analog classics and also gives you modern sounds: hard-hitting percussion, deep and rich basses, crunchy melodic keys, soaring leads and peculiar effects.
The feature list shows 117 presets: 29 bass, 17 kicks, 19 leads, 19 synths, 22 arps and 11 FX.
Hop Riffs adds guitar to a beat without any playing skill on your part. Sound designer Niall McCallum built it around the modern lo-fi wave and the classic 90s boom bap period.
It holds 84 guitar presets across 12 hip-hop sub-genres, plus 84 strumming patterns that follow your own chord progressions. Expect a broad palette here, covering soft chord progressions, shimmering arpeggio patterns, hard-hitting moody riffs, and ambient backdrops.
Turmoil District is a set of 101 presets for Chromaphone 3, also by BLAKE. The maker describes it as the emotional and ominous side of the synth, with a dreamy, haunting feel suited to dark and sad Trap, Cloud Trap, RnB, Hip Hop and ambient.
The presets cover kicks, snares, basses, hi-hats, pads and keys, so you can build a full beat from one bank.
Once a bank is installed, you have two routes. If you own the matching synth, the bank is added to it automatically. If not, you play it from the AAS Player plugin or standalone application.
The pairings are:
If you only have the free AAS Player, you can still load all of them.
Yes. The AAS Beatmaker Bundle Black Friday deal takes 50% off, which brings the four-bank set to $49. The offer runs until Nov 18, 2026.
It collects 4 sound banks from Applied Acoustics Systems for hip-hop production. Named in the description are Urban Trip for Ultra-Analog VA-3, Hop Riffs for Strum GS-2 and Turmoil District for Chromaphone 3. The fourth loads through AAS Player.
No. The banks work in the free AAS Player plugin or standalone application. If you own Ultra-Analog VA-3, Strum GS-2 or Chromaphone 3, the matching bank is added to that synth automatically after install.
Urban Trip lists 117 presets, Hop Riffs has 84 guitar presets with 84 strumming patterns, and Turmoil District has 101 presets. The details for the fourth bank are not listed, so these three account for 302 presets.
