The Low End Theory Black Friday deal takes 51% off this 114-preset Ultra-Analog VA-3 sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems, which comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It's the second release in the AAS Sound Bank Series, programmed by Sean Divine. The pack is a synth preset collection, so it adds ready-made patches rather than a new instrument.
The maker lists 114 presets spread across a wide range of sound types:
That spread covers the low end of a mix, the drum bus and the top-line melody from one bank. Kicks and sub bass sit in the same collection as leads and keys, so you can build a sketch without leaving the bank.
The bass and kick patches are the core of the pack, and the name points the same way. The maker describes the bass as essential and the kicks as fast and punchy.
Sean Divine is a composer, producer and mix engineer based in North Carolina. He built an international following during his college years by licensing instrumentals online.
His work has since appeared in television and film soundtracks, including MTV, Paramount Pictures, Old Navy and CBS Sports. He has produced and mixed albums for top talent, and more recently he has worked alongside Manny Marroquin, a five-time Grammy-winning mix engineer.
All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, which comes with this purchase. After you install the bank, there are two ways to use it.
If Ultra Analog VA-3 is installed on your computer, the bank is added to it automatically. You then call up the presets inside the synth itself.
If you don't own Ultra Analog VA-3, open the AAS Player plug-in or the standalone application and load the presets there. Either route gives you the full set of 114 sounds.
The standalone option means you can audition patches before opening a DAW session. Once a sound is dialled in, you can bounce it to audio or keep it as a plug-in track, depending on how you like to work.
