About Applied Acoustics Systems

Applied Acoustics Systems (AAS) is a Canadian plugin developer based in Montreal, founded in 1998 and pioneering physical modelling synthesis. Instead of samples, its instruments recreate acoustic and electric sources from the ground up, yielding expressive pianos, strings, mallets and synths with tiny CPU and disk footprints. Flagship titles include Chromaphone, Strum, Lounge Lizard and String Studio.
