Applied Acoustics Systems has released a new expansion pack for the Multiphonics CV-3 and AAS Player plugins in collaboration with AAS resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko.
Drawing inspiration from synthwave, VHS soundtracks, and iconic ’80s pop, FM Core features 100 unique patches which blend classic DX-style electric pianos, basses, bells, and plucks with modern leads, lush pads, percussion, 8-bit game effects, and experimental atonal textures.
FM Core also offers patches for building a vintage drum machine with a retro vibe, ideal for lo-fi tracks. Pushing traditional digital FM synthesis further, FM Core combines linear and exponential modulation with advanced routing, waveshaping, and physical-modeling resonators to deliver both timeless and forward-thinking FM timbres.
Perfectly suited for old-school beatmakers and cutting-edge EDM producers alike, FM Core offers a versatile sonic palette that inspires creativity across genres.
The FM Core sound pack is available to purchase for the intro price of $19 USD until March 10th, 2026. All other Multiphonics CV-3 products are 50% off as well during the promotion.
