Applied Acoustics Systems has announced the release of the Brazil Now sound pack for the Strum GS-2 and AAS Player plug-ins in collaboration with resident sound designer Thiago Pinheiro.
With Brazil Now for Strum, Brazilian producer and keyboard virtuoso Thiago Pinheiro captures the ever-evolving spirit of Brazilian music, where tradition and innovation move forward side by side.
Far beyond postcard samba and bossa nova, Brazil Now brings together the grooves filling radios, clubs, and street parties from Rio to Salvador. Rooted in tradition yet infused with funk, rock, pop, and regional energy, this collection delivers the contemporary rhythms shaping Brazilian music right now.
From celebratory and sun-drenched to raw, percussive, and groove-driven, its carefully crafted presets reflect the diversity and motion of a country constantly reinventing its sound, while staying unmistakably Brazilian.
With 12 distinct styles, authentic guitar presets, and strumming patterns designed for immediate playability with your own chord progressions, Brazil Now gives you the rhythmic foundation of modern Brazil, instantly current, instantly alive.

The Brazil Now sound pack is available now as an instant download delivery package. Brazil Now works with both the Strum GS-2 plug-in (sold separately) and the included AAS Player plug-in.
