Given that their other plugins are (basically) just refactored subsets of the fully-modular Tassman, I guess that an audio engine capable of handling all the individual plugin module requirements can be wrapped up into a fairly small package.
Audio code isnt necessarily that 'big', that's usually mostly other resources (UI bitmaps etc) so a single engine and a no-frills, no-controls UI make for a compact plugin.

They have lots of them, not sure I can listen to so many audio files because of my mobile Internet access...

Great Crtistmas gift from the AAS, indeed.
I'm loyal customer of about 20 developer (and occasional client for many more), but this little Canadian company is the only one sending a present (if we count out the Waves Black Friday givaway).

Ive had freebies from AAS, Native Instruments, A Sound Effect, Twisted Tools, Boxed Ear, and Hiss and Roar so far.

They've been sending soundsets as gifts for a couple years now, I happily received the Journeys soundset for String Studio. AAS are great people, they're always been generous to me.

Isn't the Journeys set part of String Studio? I had Journeys as well, but removed it as I did not like it. I sure did not buy it, nor download it separately.

I dunno, I have owned String Studio since the first version, so I didn't get JOurneys when I upgraded, I also have Frontier and Entangled Species which I got as random gifts at one point or another.

As I buyed from them using 2 e-mails... I received 2 soundsets

The first one that I choose was raw (https://www.applied-acoustics.com/raw/). I tought that some distorted sounds could be useful now that I'm playing on a Nin cover band.

I already have Angelicals (from track spark) and Plastic Pop. In the last year, I got the Deadbeat soundbank for Ultra Analog (https://www.applied-acoustics.com/sounds-from-blkrtz/). Really nice.

Any suggestions for a soundbank to pick besides these?

Has anyone tried Richard Devine's Abstractions for UA?

aMUSEd · Post by **aMUSEd** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 2:18 pm

Yes - it's the one I chose

Yes, it's nice of them. Cool thing is, that the older soundsets are compatible with v.1 of the plugins, so even, if you haven't upgraded, you still get a present.

Went for the Pop thingy. But I don't think I will use UA more than before, there are only a hand full of patches I like, and some things about UA itself simply annoy me, so that I hardly ever open it in the first place.

It did not install the player, seems it automatically detected I have the full version installed.

This is the freebie I look forward to the most each year, along with NI's. And so it happened again this year

Got the email yesterday. I picked "Cinemateque" this time around. Always hard to choose just one. Was a close call between that and Reverence.

With the sale going on, especially at JRR's site, I snagged the others I did not have. Great sounds from great synths.
