Asymmetric String Studio VS-3 Sound Bank is a 120-preset expansion by Romanian sound designer Cipryan Bot, and its Black Friday deal is 51% off, bringing it to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is built for String Studio VS-3, Applied Acoustics Systems' string oscillator synthesizer. If you want a String Studio VS-3 sound bank full of eccentric textures, this is a ready-made set.
Asymmetric is a preset collection of 120 sounds. Bot leans on the VS-3 string oscillator system, which can mimic how real acoustic instruments behave, and adds a deliberate dose of synthetic abnormality on top.
The maker describes the result as a distinctive take on physical modeling. It names cinematic, atmospheric and ambient techno projects as the target, plus anything that needs a touch of eccentricity.
Modulator controls got special attention in the design. They are set up so you can transform and morph a sound in unexpected ways and move into different tonal territories.
Cipryan Bot is a Romanian music producer who has worked with labels including Armada Music, Magic Island and Solaris Recordings, on original tracks and remixes.
His background is electronic and telecommunications engineering. A hobby of designing real-like and electronic sounds grew into a passion, and this bank is where that shows up.
The purchase includes:
Asymmetric works two ways. You can play and edit the sounds inside String Studio VS-3, or load them in the free AAS Player plug-in that comes with your purchase.
Once the bank is installed, a String Studio VS-3 install picks up the expansion automatically. If you do not own VS-3, open AAS Player as a plug-in or as a standalone application and play the presets there.
All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, so the bank works without owning the full synth. Owning VS-3 adds the option to edit the sounds in the synth itself.
Yes. The Asymmetric sound bank has a Black Friday deal of 51% off, which brings it to $19. The offer ends Nov 18, 2026. It is a 120-preset expansion, and the free AAS Player is included with the purchase.
No. The bank also runs in the free AAS Player plug-in or standalone application, which is included with your purchase. If String Studio VS-3 is installed on your computer, the expansion is added to it automatically after installation.
You get the 120-preset bank for String Studio VS-3 and AAS Player, the AAS Player plug-in, a serial number and installation instructions. The presets were designed by Romanian sound designer Cipryan Bot.
The maker says it suits cinematic, atmospheric and ambient techno projects, plus anything needing a touch of eccentricity. Presets mix acoustic-style string behavior with synthetic abnormality, and the modulator controls let you morph sounds into new tonal territory.
