The Transparency ultra Black Friday deal takes 51% off this Ultra-Analog VA-3 Sound Bank from Applied Acoustics Systems, bringing it to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
It is a collection of 149 presets for the Ultra-Analog VA-3 analog synthesizer, designed by sound designer Daniel Stawczyk.
Transparency is his fourth title in the AAS Sound Bank Series and his third for Ultra Analog VA-3.
The presets explore the percussive side of the synth. Drum sounds and loops come first, with ambient, synth and effect patches added alongside them.
The maker describes the aesthetic as mysterious and exotic, and says the bank aims to give your tracks pulse, motion and relief.
Ultra Analog is not a dedicated drum instrument. Stawczyk says building a mostly drum-oriented bank took less effort than you might expect, and he takes that as proof of how well the synth adapts to what a producer needs.
He also says Transparency has more presets than most banks in the series. In his words, he could not resist adding some other inspiring patches on top of the drums and loops.
All AAS Sound Banks run on the free AAS Player, which is included with this purchase. You do not need to own the synth to use the presets.
Once the bank is installed, there are two ways to load it:
If you already run Ultra-Analog VA-3, the presets show up inside the synth itself, so there is no extra plug-in to load.
