Cardinals is a 109-preset sound bank for Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone 3, created by composer and sound designer Simon Stockhausen. Built around contrasting moods and musical ideas, it moves between dark and bright, tonal and atonal, calm and unsettling sounds. Explore achromatic and chromatic percussion alongside keys, synths, strings, pads, textures and atmospheric scapes, with a dedicated Danger Zone category for more tense material. This varied palette suits producers looking for unusual instrumental colors, evolving atmospheres and inspiration beyond familiar keyboard sounds. Use it to add character to electronic tracks, develop ambient passages or sketch contrasting moods for soundtrack work. Cardinals includes the free AAS Player, so you can play the sounds without owning Chromaphone 3. The purchase also includes the Chromaphone preset bank, a serial number and installation instructions.
