What it is
AAS Sound Packs: Hop Riffs is an expansion pack for Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum GS-2 virtual guitar, also playable through the free AAS Player if you don't already own Strum GS-2. Sound designer Niall McCallum, co-founder of ModeAudio, built it specifically for hip-hop production, covering 12 sub-genres from mellow Lo-Fi to classic 90s boom bap with 84 guitar presets and 84 strumming patterns.
Who it's for
Hip-hop and lo-fi beatmakers who want real guitar texture in their tracks - warm arpeggios, punchy riffs, atmospheric strums - without needing to record or play guitar themselves. Producers who already use Strum GS-2 or AAS Player as a sample source will get the most mileage out of the extra patterns.
Key features
- 84 guitar presets and 84 strumming patterns spanning 12 hip-hop sub-genres
- Strumming patterns play along automatically with your own chord progressions, so no manual programming is required
- Works with either the full Strum GS-2 instrument or the free AAS Player plugin included with purchase
- Tones range from gentle chord figures and glistening arpeggios to punchy dark riffs and atmospheric background textures
