Sounds from BLKRTZ Black Friday pricing is 51% off this Ultra-Analog VA-3 sound bank, which comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It's a collection of 100 analog presets made by Deadbeat, the Berlin-based Canadian producer Scott Monteith. The maker says it pushes the synth to both extremes, from earth-shaking lows to shimmering highs.
The bank draws on Deadbeat's work across a dozen years and many genres. His dubwise style shows in the content: subs and bass sit at the centre of the set.
Beyond the low end, you also get chords and stabs that evolve over time, ambient clouds, and slowly moving sequences.
The purchase includes:
Scott Monteith has released dub-influenced electronic music since 1999, on labels such as Scape and Wagon Repair, plus his own BLKRTZ imprint. This collection takes its name from that imprint.
His catalogue runs from heavy dub reggae to digital dancehall to late-night house and techno. Applied Acoustics Systems describes the bank as a fit for dubstep, ambient, and the deepest, dubbiest house and techno.
In his own words, Ultra-Analog VA has been one of his go-to tools for bass lines for years. He also uses it as a vocoder carrier signal, for vintage-sounding pads, and for heavily tweaked acid lines and effects.
He says the bank is meant to show how he uses the synth day to day. His hope is that it pushes people to dig deeper into the instrument in their own work.
All AAS sound banks run on the free AAS Player, which is included in this purchase. You can load the presets in the plug-in or in the standalone application, so you don't need to own the synth.
If you already have Ultra-Analog VA-3 installed, the bank is added to it automatically after installation.
That gives you two ways in: play the presets through AAS Player, or call them up inside Ultra-Analog VA-3 itself.
Yes. The Sounds from BLKRTZ Black Friday deal takes 51% off this 100-preset bank for Ultra-Analog VA-3, bringing it to $19. The offer runs until Nov 18, 2026.
You get the preset bank for Ultra-Analog VA-3, the AAS Player plug-in in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS formats, a serial number, and installation instructions. The bank itself holds 100 analog sounds.
No. The bank runs in the free AAS Player, either as a plug-in or standalone. If you do own Ultra-Analog VA-3, the presets are added to it automatically once the bank is installed.
Subs and bass play a central role, reflecting Deadbeat's dubwise style. The bank also has evolving chords and stabs, ambient clouds, and slowly evolving sequences, aimed at dubstep, ambient, and deep dubby house and techno.
