Take 3 Strum GS-2 Sound Bank Black Friday pricing is 51% off, which brings this Applied Acoustics Systems preset collection to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a sound bank for the Strum GS-2 session guitarist plugin, and it is built around triple-meter and triplet-feel playing.
Sound designer Yves Frulla put the pack together as his third Strum GS-2 collection. The maker lists its contents like this:
The patterns cover odd time signatures that are hard to find elsewhere: 3/4, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8.
The maker aims them at rock, blues, pop, country and reggae.
If a project needs an unconventional triplet feel or a triple-meter groove, the maker says Take 3 is meant to slot in as the complement. It also says the pack sounds fresh and versatile rather than like a stock waltz.
No. Every AAS sound bank runs on the free AAS Player, and the player is included with this purchase.
You have two ways to use the bank once it is installed. If Strum GS-2 is on your computer, the bank is added to it automatically. If you don't own Strum GS-2, you play it from the AAS Player plugin or the standalone application.
The AAS Player plugin comes in VST, AU, AAX and RTAS.
The download contains the following:
