Epic Side-Chained Pad Loop

Hey guys, nothing much for me to say here... I got a little bored and decided to do some synth programming. I made a short loop with what I call an 'epic side chained pad'. I'd love to hear how you guys think about how it sounds; positive feedback and criticism is cool.


How I made it:
I made it in Native Instruments Massive. I started off with a simple Sin/Square wave on my first Oscillator and a SmoothSquare wave on my second and added a positive "+" Bend to both of the waveforms, with a unison of 5 voices making it polyphonic instead of monophonic. I turned on my Modulation Oscillator with no bending and left it set on Spectrum. I turned up the RM knob all the way up to 100% and added a Phase to the second Oscillator.

For the FX I added Reverb to give it texture with the Dry/Wet knob turned up 50%, the Size knob set at 70%, Density at 100%, and last but not least the Color knob set all the way up 100%. I added a Phaser to my FX section as well. The Dry/Wet knob set at 20%, the Rate at 0%, Feedback at 0%, and the Depth at 50%.

at the Attributes section in Massive I turned up the Vibrato to about 50% to give it an LFO type of sound. And thats about it for the preset. The sidechain has nothing to do with the VST. Surely most of you know how to make that effect.


Have a listen and let me know what you think:

Kick would sound good in another track but for a "massive" lead it has to have more punch to get through the mix.
