Cinematix Chromaphone 3 Sound Bank Black Friday pricing comes to $19 after 51% off, and the deal runs until Nov 18, 2026. It is a 100-preset sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems, sound-designed by Christian Laffitte and aimed at scoring work.
The maker says its strong emphasis on monumental hits and percussions is made to fuel your next score, whether that is an epic scene or a fast-paced pursuit.
The 100 presets are sorted into nine groups, so you can go straight to the type of sound you need:
The drums and metal side takes up most of the bank. Percussions, snares, toms, cymbals and chimes and bells add up to 61 of the 100 presets.
Strings and pads, effects and arpeggiators fill in the rest. That gives you sustained and moving material to sit under the big impacts in the same sound bank.
This is Christian Laffitte's first contribution to the AAS Sound Bank Series. AAS describes him as a long-time Chromaphone user.
Laffitte is a French musician and sound designer based in the south of France. He has developed sounds for Dream, Arturia, Zoom, Applied Acoustics Systems, M-Audio and Avid, among others.
He has also composed music for Sony video game trailers and for French TV channels and radio stations. He created Wejaam, a free music sequencer for smartphones and tablets.
All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, and the player is included with this purchase. Cinematix also works with the Chromaphone 3 analogue synthesizer.
After you install the bank, you have two ways to use it:
That means the Cinematix Chromaphone 3 sound bank is usable whether or not you own the full synth. The presets load in your DAW as a plug-in, or standalone if you prefer to audition them outside a project.
Yes. The Cinematix Chromaphone 3 Sound Bank Black Friday deal takes 51% off, which puts it at $19. The offer ends Nov 18, 2026. The purchase includes the free AAS Player, so you can run the 100 presets without owning another AAS synth.
Cinematix has 100 presets in nine groups: 20 percussions, 8 snares, 13 toms, 12 cymbals, 8 chimes and bells, 7 hits, 7 strings and pads, 10 effects and 13 arpeggiators. The free AAS Player comes with the purchase.
No. Cinematix runs in the free AAS Player, as a plug-in or standalone application. If you do own Chromaphone 3, the bank is added to it automatically after installation, so you can load the presets from the synth itself.
