The String Theory Black Friday deal takes 51% off this sound bank for String Studio VS-3 by Applied Acoustics Systems, bringing it to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a preset collection from sound designer Adam Pietruszko. The maker says it covers strings, basses, leads, plucks, pads and keys.
The String Theory sound bank runs on the free AAS Player, which comes with the purchase.
The tonal range runs from acoustic through electric to far-out synthetic. The maker says that spread lets the collection handle any genre.
