Bass Factory Black Friday pricing puts 51% off this String Studio VS-3 sound bank, so it comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a collection of 100 bass presets for String Studio VS-3, designed by AAS sound designer Christian Laffitte.
Bass Factory is an expansion sound bank, not a standalone synth. Every preset runs on String Studio's string oscillator engine.
The range goes from deep sub-basses to squeaky upright jazz basses. The maker says it spans jazz, pop, R&B, EDM, rock and metal.
The maker describes the presets as reflecting Christian's detailed knowledge of bass as an instrument and his command of the String Studio engine.
The 100 presets are split by playing style:
The purchase also includes the AAS Player plug-in, which comes in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats.
That means the slap, finger and fretless folders cover the played-bass territory. The arpeggiated synth basses are made for sequencing, so they suit programmed lines.
All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, and that player is part of this purchase. There are two ways to load Bass Factory.
If String Studio VS-3 is installed on your computer, the expansion is added to it automatically once the sound bank is installed.
If you don't own String Studio VS-3, open the bank in the AAS Player plug-in or its standalone application.
Either way, you reach the same 100 presets. Pick one, dial in your part, and bounce or keep it in the box as a live instrument track.
The maker also points to the sonic grain and richness of String Studio as the character running through the collection.
