Everything you hear has been recorded live without tricks and external FX processing - it may contain some little mistakes in playing ;)

The downside of this library? Here you can hear it. The sound overally have an awesome quality and a very inspiring. In some cases though AOS seemed to mad mor quantity than quality. These example bass sounds are great, but to be honest some of them sound very similar. There are other example in the sync and arp section where you have 100 programs but they sound just like 30 programs with 70 little variations...

rich pad sounds - but not much of these modern over the top sounds - more like old vintage analoge gear
