Do anyone have any suggestions on how to create the pad sound used by the thrillseekers in:

Ferry Corsten feat.Thrillseekers - Sublime
8 Wonders - The Morning After (The Thrillseekers Remix)

Sample?

It seems like overdrive is what makes it sound like that...
Try overdriving some normal pads.

seems its s
ome kind of a guitar with soft attack

No way. I'm not sure how my sample sounds since I made it quite lofi but it certainly isn't a guitar.

I just gave it a try here and could get it. Its really an overdrived pad. Not a pure supersaw pad, but a square one.
Get a square pad goin, EQ it to cut out the lower and very higher freqs, pu on reverb/delay and the usual pad stuff, then make a heavy overdrive on the final signal, but muffle it slightly so it dun sounds too harsh/agressive (or u could EQ after the overdrive, to reduce the sibilance), and u hav your sound

I did it with Pro-53 and the normal fruity plugins, except for overdrive (used Mda Overdrive)

can you post a sample?

I could, but i dun hav a place to host it...
But like i said, its simple. Just get a normal supersaw pad patch on Pro-53, change it to square form (maybe a synced wav/sqr for a tweak), turn the unison/analog a bit down, make the usual stuff (reverb, EQ and such), and overdrive it.

Only thing i forgot, is that u might need a filter after the overdrive effect. So open the Pro-53 cuttof and use this other filter instead, otherwise, the overdrive will act after the in-built pro-53 filter and make some sibilance even if u close it.

This will give u the same color of that sound. Then its just a matter of fine tuning to mix it down.

This is as close as I cared to get it. About 20 minutes of work. Pulse + Saw, filtered at about 50% cutoff. Filter envelopes had a long gradual attack, zero sustain, and a long decay and release. Amplifier envelopes had a short but smooth attack, long decay, zero sustain, long release. Frequency and Pulsewidth modulation were controlled by the LFO with a very high frequency. Finally, reverb, stereo separation, distortion, and overdrive were used to give it some added grit.

you did a nice job on that

overdrive + res is the easy way, piss easy to do on a jp or vaz
