AAS Player 2.0 Released: Free Access to 650+ Sounds

Applied Acoustics Systems has officially launched AAS Player 2.0, a free update to its dedicated sound pack player. This new version runs on macOS and Windows, supporting VST3, Audio Units, and AAX Native formats. It also works with NKS-compatible hardware.

What Is AAS Player 2.0?

AAS Player 2.0 is a streamlined instrument that hosts the sound engines from six AAS products: Chromaphone 3, Strum GS-2, Ultra Analog VA-3, String Studio VS-3, Lounge Lizard EP-5, and Multiphonics CV-3. Instead of offering full editing, it provides key macro controls for each engine. This keeps the interface simple and focused on performance.

Moreover, the player includes a comprehensive preset browser with search functionality. This makes it easier to find sounds across thousands of presets. In addition, every sound pack contributes eight free presets, giving users instant access to over 650 sounds at no cost.

Key Features of AAS Player 2.0

The new version addresses previous limitations. The preset browser is a major upgrade, allowing efficient navigation. Likewise, the Play view offers essential macro controls for expressive sound shaping. Consequently, users can tweak sounds without diving into complex menus.
