Applied Acoustics Systems releases Plastic Pop – a synthpop from the Eighties sound bank for the Ultra Analog VA-1 and AAS Player plug-ins.

The 127 presets of Plastic Pop muse back at arpeggio, bass, effect, lead, and pad sounds of the 80s. Included are analog and digital favorites from the Juno, DX7, Wavestation, and D-50 as well as guitar synths, the TX81Z's LatelyBass, and of course the Honkytonk sound! A superb kit to revisit the top new wave and synthpop albums from Duran Duran, Japan, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and ABC. Shoulder pads are not included.
