Kicks and Snares Black Friday deal: 51% off this Ultra-Analog VA-3 sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems, which comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a preset collection for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 analog synthesizer, built around drum sounds. The pack runs on the free AAS Player that comes with the purchase.
The bank holds 30 kicks, 30 snares and 25 rhythm grooves. Hi-hats and various percussion sounds were added on top.
The maker says that makes it a complete drum track solution for your projects.
The maker describes the kicks as punchy bass drums and the snares as cut-through. Some lean on classic analogue drum machine sounds. Others are experimental and processed.
Each sound has macro-control assignments, so you can shape it quickly inside Ultra-Analog VA-3. Add track automation and the maker says the sound possibilities become endless.
That gives you a solid foundation for the low end of a track, whether you want a vintage drum machine feel or something more processed.
AAS resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko signed off on the collection. He is a sound designer and audio engineer from Poland.
He specializes in cinematic and avant-garde sound design. His work also covers electronica, experimental music, techno, IDM, Synthwave and EDM.
Pietruszko also teaches at the Academy of Audio Engineering and the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw. His lectures cover sound synthesis, acoustics, electroacoustics, digital audio theory, and electronic music and FX production.
The bank works with the free AAS Player plug-in or with the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer. After installing it, you have two ways to load the sounds.
If Ultra-Analog VA-3 is installed on your computer, the bank is added to it automatically. If you don't own Ultra-Analog VA-3, play it from the AAS Player plug-in or the standalone application.
