Good Folks Black Friday pricing takes 51% off this Strum GS-2 sound bank, so it comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
Good Folks is a preset collection for Strum GS-2, the session guitarist plugin from Applied Acoustics Systems. It leans into contemporary folk while keeping a nod to the genre's original roots.
The maker says the collection draws on styles inspired by some of the best-known artists in folk music.
The package also contains a serial number and installation instructions. Everything runs on the free AAS Player, which is part of the purchase.
The patterns are driven by your chords. Play a progression and the bank strums it in the chosen folk style, so you can sketch a whole acoustic part without recording a guitar.
The bank was created by Yves Frulla, a Canadian songwriter, producer and keyboardist. He is best known as Celine Dion's keyboardist and runs his own project studio in Sin City.
Frulla toured as part of Celine Dion's band, played on three of her live records, and joined her for TV spots on the Letterman, Leno, Arsenio Hall and Oprah Winfrey programs. He has also worked on television and film projects.
He has toured with Canadian artists such as Corey Hart, Bobby Bazini, Michael Breen, Dan Bigras, Sass Jordan, Julie Masse and Sylvain Cossette.
The maker describes the collection as showing a playful side of Strum GS-2.
There are two routes once the bank is installed. If you own Strum GS-2, the presets load into it, so you can work inside the plugin as usual.
If you don't own Strum GS-2, open the bank in the AAS Player, either as a plugin or as a standalone application. The AAS Player comes in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats.
That means the bank works whether or not Strum GS-2 is in your plugin folder. Install it, point your DAW at the AAS Player or launch the standalone app, and start playing chords.
