Microsound Textures Black Friday deal: Richard Devine's 128-preset sound bank for Chromaphone 3 is 51% off, which brings it to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It's a Synth Presets pack from Applied Acoustics Systems, and it runs on the free AAS Player that comes with the purchase.
The maker describes the collection as being about precision, detail, subtlety and complexity.
Richard Devine's idea was to use grain particles and tiny pulses to build rich, dense textures.
According to the maker, the collection also covers a broad range of unusual and enigmatic instruments, ranging from soft, fragile tones to gloomy, atonal ones. Its 128 sounds fall into five groups: Percussion (25 presets), Sound Effects (22 presets), Keys and Synths (37 presets), Pads and Strings (16 presets), and Textures and Ambience (28 presets).
Devine is a sound designer and artist based in Atlanta, Georgia.
He has released five albums and performed his music around the world.
His sounds have gone to companies such as Apple, Audi, BMW, Coke, Nestlé and Nike.
He has also scored for TV and film, done sound design for video games, and programmed synthesis for major audio companies.
More recently he released his own sound effect libraries with Sony Creative Software.
There are two ways to load the bank once it's installed.
If you own Chromaphone 3, the presets are added to it automatically, so you can browse them next to your own patches.
If you don't, you can play them from the AAS Player, either as a plug-in in your DAW or as a standalone application.
The AAS Player is free and included in this purchase, so the bank works without a Chromaphone 3 licence.
If you already work with Chromaphone 3, the 37 Keys and Synths and 28 Ambiences and Textures presets give you a lot of material for pads, beds and layered atmospheres. The 25 Percussion presets are there when you want tuned or textural hits in the same style.
