The Mystique String Studio VS-3 Sound Bank Black Friday deal takes 51% off this Applied Acoustics Systems expansion, so it comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
Mystique is a preset collection built around String Studio VS-3. Michel Basque made it, and it is his third sound pack for AAS.
The maker describes the collection as mysterious and ethereal. Each preset is meant to carry the listener into a timeless, cinematic world, sometimes with a single note.
The maker lists a wide spread of material:
An atmospheric feel runs through all of it, according to AAS.
Basque built the bank to play to the strengths of String Studio, and the aim is soundscapes for composers that step outside everyday reality. AAS says each preset is crafted to prompt creative introspection.
No. All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, and the player is included with this purchase.
You can open Mystique in the AAS Player plug-in or in its standalone application. If you own String Studio VS-3, the expansion is added to it automatically once the sound bank is installed.
That gives you two routes. If you use the VS-3 analog synthesizer, the presets appear inside it. If you don't, the AAS Player loads them.
The maker pitches it at composers who want atmospheric, cinematic textures. Think pads that evolve, plucked and choir sounds with a spacey tail, and percussion that sits strange rather than conventional.
If you already work with AAS instruments, the sound bank slots into the tools you have. If you are new to them, the free player is all you need to audition and play the presets.
