Montreal, Quebec—October 27, 2026—Applied Acoustics Systems releases the Dark Voltage sound pack for the Lounge Lizard EP-5 and AAS Player plug-ins in collaboration with resident sound designer Thiago Pinheiro.
With Dark Voltage, Brazilian producer and keyboard virtuoso Thiago Pinheiro takes the familiar sounds of the electric piano into darker, more adventurous territory. Forget traditional electric piano tones, this collection is all about pushing character, distortion, and modulation in new directions. From balanced, subtly colored tones to wildly driven sounds and evolving textures, every preset brings its own twist to the electric piano.
Carefully shaped for expressive playing, the sounds range from tight, percussive attacks to wide, animated textures. Distortion adds grit and attitude, modulation brings movement, and spatial effects create depth without losing definition.
Whether you're laying down rhythmic grooves, cutting through with expressive leads, or adding atmospheric layers to a track, Dark Voltage offers a versatile palette of electric piano sounds that are anything but ordinary.
Product Details
The Dark Voltage sound pack is available now as an instant download delivery package. Dark Voltage works with both the Lounge Lizard EP-5 plug-in (sold separately) and the included AAS Player plug-in.
