Motions ultra Black Friday pricing runs at 51% off, so this Ultra-Analog VA-3 sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
Motions for Ultra Analog is a preset collection from Dutch sound designer Richard Veenstra. It is his second AAS sound pack, and this time he leans into an old-school analog approach.
The collection is built around rhythm and movement. Arpeggios, sequences and percussive pulses make up the material, so a lot of it plays patterns on its own once you hold a note.
AAS describes the bank as a set of rhythmic sequences and arpeggios you can use to weave melodies. The maker also pitches the hypnotic, pulsing sequences and percussive energy at cinematic soundscapes.
The presets carry macros, which the maker calls dynamic and versatile. They are there to add expressive nuance to each note, so you can shape the movement while a pattern runs.
Veenstra is a sound designer and composer based in Madrid. He holds a Bachelor's degree in music from the Prince Claus Conservatoire Groningen and a Master of Arts from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, where he specialized in Composition in Contexts.
His sound mixes analog synthesizers, vintage tape machines, digital production and foley techniques. He has supplied sound design, factory presets and sample libraries to Elektron, Ableton, Splice, Arturia, Native Instruments, Soniccouture, Loopmasters, Toontrack, UVI and Applied Acoustics Systems.
As a composer and producer he has released music on Hexagon Records, Universal Music, Spinnin' Records, 49 REC. and Kostbar Musik. He is also co-founder of the German music library site Feature Music and a member of The Solos, a music and sound design agency.
All AAS sound banks run on the free AAS Player, which comes with this purchase. That means you can load the presets without owning any other AAS instrument.
If you own the Ultra-Analog VA-3 synthesizer, the bank is added to it automatically once installed. If you don't, play it from the AAS Player plug-in or its standalone application.
Either way, you get the same preset collection. The Ultra-Analog VA-3 route simply puts the sounds inside the synth itself.
