The Brazil Now Black Friday deal brings the Strum GS-2 sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems down 51%, so it comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
Brazil Now is a preset bank for Strum GS-2, made by Brazilian producer and keyboard player Thiago Pinheiro. The maker presents it as a picture of the Brazilian music that listeners actually engage with.
That means more than samba and bossa nova. The collection draws on the grooves coming out of radios, clubs and street parties from Rio to Salvador.
The maker says the bank is rooted in tradition but mixed with funk, rock, pop and regional flavours. The presets range from sunny and celebratory to raw, percussive and groove-driven.
The guitar presets are meant to sound authentic. The strumming patterns are built so you can play your own chord progressions and get a usable rhythm part straight away.
All AAS sound banks run on the free AAS Player, and the player comes with this purchase. You don't need a full Strum GS-2 plug-in to load the bank.
Pinheiro grew up among important Brazilian musicians. He has perfect pitch and started composing on piano at four.
By twelve he had played alongside Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham, Gilberto Gil and Hermeto Pascoal.
He works as a producer, director and audio technology pioneer, as well as a pianist and keyboard player. His range covers blues and jazz as well as house, drum and bass and other electronic styles.
He plays dance floors across Brazil, Europe, Asia and the United States, and he also produces music for Hollywood and the movie industry.
The Brazil Now deal sits in the Expansion Packs category, next to other sound banks for Applied Acoustics Systems instruments.
