Applied Acoustics Systems have announced the availability of a special holiday offer. Until January 1st 2003, Windows users may download the award winning Lounge Lizard EP-1 and Tassman Software Synthesizer as a bundle from the AAS online store for the special price of $399 US, a savings of nearly $200 off suggested retail.

Participants in the holiday promotion will also be entitled to a free upgrade to Tassman 3.

"The Tassman is a modular software synthesizer based on physical modeling.
Whether you are new to the world of synths and sound design, or a seasoned industry professional, the Tassman offers virtually endless creative possibilities, in an intuitive, easy to use environment. Far from being an emulation of any one vintage synthesizer, the Tassman is in fact an ever expanding collection of instruments and sound design tools. The Lounge Lizard EP-1 is an unprecedented recreation of the classic electric piano sound, based on the same physical modeling technology found in the Tassman. All mechanisms used in the Lounge Lizard's hardware equivalents are precisely replicated including the hammer, tone bar, tine, and pick up. The sound is calculated in real time in accordance with the controls the program receives."

"Combining the strength and versatility with the warmth and grit of the Lounge Lizard, this unprecedented bundle is sure to provide inspiration to musicians from across the spectrum, and from project to project."
