Low End Theory 2 Ultra-Analog VA-3 Sound Bank Black Friday deal: 51% off puts this Applied Acoustics Systems preset collection at $19, running until Nov 18, 2026.
It's a set of 100 production-ready sounds for hip-hop, trap and electronic music. The maker says the collection is built to bring a vibrant energy to your tracks.
The presets cover the main parts of a beat. The maker lists these categories:
Installation instructions and a serial number come with the purchase.
The sounds were programmed around producer Sean Divine's work. He is a North Carolina producer, mix engineer and educator who built an international following by releasing his instrumental catalog online. He has produced and engineered for chart-topping recording artists, with placements in film, radio and television.
Many of his signature sounds are already included in the AAS factory libraries.
All AAS sound banks run on the free AAS Player, and the player is included with this purchase. You can load the presets in the player on its own.
The bank is also compatible with the Ultra Analog VA-3 analog synthesizer, which is sold separately. If you already own the VA-3, the maker says the sound bank is added to it automatically once it is installed, as long as the synth is on your computer.
Either way, it's a preset library, not a standalone synth engine. You load the sounds, tweak them, and bounce.
The maker lists support for Windows and macOS, 64-bit. Plugin formats are VST2, VST3, AU and AAX Native, plus NKS and Standalone.
That means it fits most DAWs, according to the maker. If your host loads any of those plugin formats, you can use the Low End Theory 2 presets in your signal chain.
If you want a ready pool of bass, lead, key and pad patches aimed at trap and hip-hop sessions, this Low End Theory 2 deal is the one to look at. Dial in a bass patch, check how the 808-style low end sits against your kick, and move on to arrangement.
