Transmutation Chromaphone 3 Sound Bank Black Friday pricing is 51% off, which brings this Michel Basque preset collection to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a sound bank for Chromaphone 3, made by Applied Acoustics Systems. The maker describes it as a 101-preset collection, and the features list gives the count as 102.
Transmutation is the work of Michel Basque, who is new to AAS as a preset author. The maker says he treats each sound as an instrument in its own right, with close attention to detail, playability and balance.
The collection mixes real-instrument flavours with creative twists. The maker lists these:
AAS says the bank balances real and surreal textures, drawing on sounds from all times and places: exotic, traditional and electronic. It also says the presets carry a lively quality that captures the essence of Chromaphone 3.
The maker pitches it at cinematic climaxes and otherworldly soundscapes. It adds that more conventional productions can pick up an organic boost of intensity and emotion.
Basque is a Canadian composer and sound designer who has been active since the early 80s. His path runs from lead singer and composer in an underground rock band to film and TV scoring and multimedia electronic music.
He joined the sample-based sound design company Sonarte in 2007. At Ableton he is employed as a sound designer, building packs and a number of the core sound libraries that ship with Live. Since 2019 he has also made presets for AAS.
