v-station, though it crashes whatever program I'm using it in on my Macbook (in Windows XP) so I usually end up using Pro 53, SimSynth, or Vanguard

Thanks guys. V-station actually is really nice. However, I'm having a hard time still making a specific pad. I made another thread about it so maybe I can get specific advice.

Thanks again!!

Love the Korg Triton for pads. Some cracking stuff in Legacy Cell also

also checkout maxx clasters toxic III, linplug sophistry(near perfect for strings),and albino 3, all great plugins!

NI FM7 - frequency modulated pads = die Scheize! Try it, and you shall be rewarded. It's on sale now, NI-versary price for only 99$. Grab it while you can

Albino 3 is great as well, the digital waveforms can create some amazing textures.

I still love the virus for pad sounds it's just got a very warm but dark sound to it! Also I find the sub oscillator helps a lot with pads.


As for the korg triton I was playing with one in turnkey london not so long ago and I really didn't want to leave it behind when I left.

On a software front it would be wise not to forget atmosphere. You carn't really make your own but there are so many combinations you can make you won't get tired of it. Hell I liked it so much I brought it!!!

I think previous editions were allready good at pads but now with hypersaw and wavetables it's an absolute killer.

if you consider atmosphere a 'synth'...then its pretty darn good at pads =)

i agree atmosphere is a great synth, but i feel its a bit overated, though with some sick pads they all seem dark to me. i think i probably use albino 3 more than my atmosphere.atmosphere is a really good synth for extremely great sounds nontheless.
