Montreal, Quebec—February 17, 2026—Applied Acoustics Systems releases the FM Core sound pack for the Multiphonics CV-3 and AAS Player plug-ins in collaboration with AAS resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko.
Drawing inspiration from synthwave, VHS soundtracks, and iconic ’80s pop, FM Core is the latest creation from AAS resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko. This Multiphonics sound collection features 100 unique patches, blending 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 now as an instant download delivery package. FM Core works with both the Multiphonics CV-3 plug-in (sold separately) and the included AAS Player plug-in.
