Audioblysk Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I finally ended up hitting a bump in the ol' pirating road. Apparently syncrosoft liscences are really really fucking hard to get out of your computer 100% and jam up when it comes to installing certain programs. For the time being I cannot use my awesome arturia synths (that jupiter 8 and minimoog are just lush IMO) and a few others due to real licences clashing with... erm... not real ones. After I re-install windows and reformat I should be able to install everything correctly and have my bulky synths back, but the windows disk is a week or so out... Sooo. Anyone know of a nice free synth for pads, analog-sounding chords? I have the TAL stuff and a few randoms like cheeze machine and blooo. Also, any free VSTs you love that I may have never heard of would be awesome Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Audioblysk's signature Hide all signatures "You could always do a Thoreau and walden your ass into a forest." - chenGOD ##### | (.)

Guest Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Not what you want, but.. I've made lush pads using samples, for example sax samples with slow attack volume setting, run through a modulating delay unit with high feedback setting (example track; skip to the end of this one; http://plugexpert.bandcamp.com/track/7klaper ). Running slow attack samples through a good filter, delay & maybe chorus vst can create unique results.

th555 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Also choir, string or orchestra samples with an LPF on top make lush pads.

cear Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) any 2osc+ subtractive synth with decent amount of modulation will help u out + the welcome fx as said above argurus voyager i still really like: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/voyager-by-arguru-software/details pwm kind of fx, the filters have 2 shaping knobs, and as extra fm for each oscillator (modulated by the 4th one).. get that mirror gain & phase lfo amount up, set that lfo rate low - cutoff midway through and boom instawarmth ^^ do that on multiple oscillators and woosshh only big downside of it is u cant keysync the lfos (afaik), but theres always external modulation in ur host for that and than again not that necessary for paddy sounds anyways.

Guest mrx Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 synth1. the warmest one of them all. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/83239-best-free-plug-in-for-warm-pads/#findComment-2158606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I second synth1 and Voyager (unfortunately this one is not completely finished and some things are missing, like velocity but it's still very good). Oatmeal has the same style but I always found the interface not so engaging. But it's probably stupid from me, it looks pretty neat. Well the recommendation I wanted to make is Tyrell n6 from u-he. It's a substractive Synth with two regular oscillators, one sub, noise, two lfo, two envelopes, good parameters routing capabilities. You can also couple its oscillators if you want to make beefier sounds. It's really an amazing free plug ! A last recommendation is Crystal. It's a free modular synth and although it looks kinda weird it's pretty easy to use and to experiment with.

cear Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) yeh pretty sad, if only arguru had left the source files for it. and thats a new version of tyrell? cant remember using n testing it very well, will do now.. the control of synth1 is not too pleasant tbh Edited April 30, 2014 by vincentvc Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide cear's signature Hide all signatures Я твой слуга, Я твой работник Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/83239-best-free-plug-in-for-warm-pads/#findComment-2158946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't think there's much new in this version but they made a dirty skin to make it look more badass. The synth is basically the same though. Reveal hidden contents I made the bocish pads of this track with it (theme at 0:45). [sc5]118245477[/sc5] or the lo med acid pads at 1:03 here [sc5]147076615[/sc5] It's also very good for bass Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Lucas's signature Hide all signatures antape @ soundcloud Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/83239-best-free-plug-in-for-warm-pads/#findComment-2158955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 yeah Zebralette is also a good one, although it's different from most of the other plugs recommended here so far. Its approach doesn't have much to do with "classic" hardware so you have to spend some time knowing it first and taking habits with its workflow. It can really do cool complex sounds, I should think about it more when making music.
