don't listen to these slavish numbskulls. if you are looking for pads this delivers in spades... take a look at how it makes its sounds. each patch is made of many layers and lots of modulation between them.
woody piano shack on youtube had 5 videos up on it. designed by dave smith for korg, costed 2 grand back in the day now 50 bucks... no brainer. some stock patches can sound dated but individual elements in patches can easily be swapped out changing the patch up. slap on a compressor or your own effects and many small details in the patches are brought to life... also many 3rd party patches floating around for free that sound modern.
if you are looking for standard synth pads maybe get the TAL 106.
Nobody is arguing about Wavestation being decent, it's the moronic comments about Omnisphere that elicited the ridicule.
how many mallet sounds can you listen to before they become boring? complete overkill.
i had it for a while and it felt like it was more suited for film scoring than music. not sure why it is worshipped so much. it's the soft synth equivalent to the bigsky reverbs... a showpiece that everyone has to have for some reason.
When you say 'had it', do you mean tried it at a mates house for 5 minutes?
And for the record, I just checked and mallet presets of ALL variants total 81. Out of 14,500 presets. So about 0.5%
And as far as I'm aware, film score IS music.
And, you have 60GB of sampled waveforms as well as standard VA oscillators and a comprehensive synth and FX engine.
Actually, did you even try it for 5 minutes? 
14500 presets? enough said! who is even using 1% of that across ALL of their projects?! omnisphere is just bloatware. who really needs 60GB? or 81 fucking variations of mallets... seriously? what happened to sound design?
definitely seems geared towards for film scoring, creating atmospheres and soundscapes. no need for it creating music though, unless it's incredibly pretentious... then you could run it through a bigsky for good measure 
wavestation weighs in at 50MB, does the job.

Yo, instead of using pads conventionally, try intricate layers of lots of overdubs. Each time you record a sequence restrict yourself to a monophonic phrase. Then add another layer and another layer until you have a complex orchestration.
Here's another option for pads. Dronar for around $50.

dunno, the only thing I look for in a synth: can I use it on the toilet?
You want Teenage Engineering stuff if you want to make music in the loo.

not paying international shipping, import/brokerage and would rather support the local small store.
there is so much gear coming out thats really capturing the ethos of those old electribes, cheaper groovebox type sample-players, samplers; its great.
Furry muff, especially the bit about local store. I'm really trying not to order much shit from amazon or major retailers these days. I specifically hate buying from Home Depot and try to buy in Mom and Pop hardware stores.
I'd love to be back int he groovebox mode.
Tbh, I really need to figure out of there's either a box that does waht the old Tribes used to do, and if not, then figure out how I can use my old Tribe as a hardware controller for something like battery (I know there is, I went down the rabbit hole with NRPN's once so it is doable, it was just back in the days of Battery 3 so probably have to find something else).

Bought a few things. Not really gear, but anyway...
- Kick 2 VST
- All products from Mars, sampled hardware/synths // https://samplesfrommars.com/product...ducts-from-mars
- Illuminate Drum Kit
- Fundamental Ambience - Vol II
- Future Bass & Chill Trap
The last 3 are more so entertaining than really usefull. Oh well. More pending, but the Mars kit downloads take sooo long 
I was thinking maybe of a Novation Peak but honestly have kinda lost track of what's new out there
