the dreampad vst is a good one. its a one trick pony, but it sounds nice.

im pretty sure its free, you should be able to find it somewhere.
Scottaculous
Spectrasonics Atmosphere or Absynth 2 both have nice pads you can work with.

one word
Atmosphere

but pro-53 can make awesome pads! dont use the presets, modify a patch you like or build a patch from scratch. its the only way to make your pads truly fit in with the rest of your mix (course you might get lucky, load up a preset and it might just have a timbre which fits in your track with no extra work necessary. but dont count on it happening often). layer a couple of pro 53s and widen it in stereo and you can crank out some monster pads. same with vanguard. if you have vanguard use a combo of the 2 and you can get lush sounds.
Subtle
ehm... the preset on Pro 53... "Fat Bright Pad" is really supersaw pads sounding..
State of Matter
The most supersaw sounding pad on the pro 53 is Intermodulate Pad. Just increase the cutoff a bit, I use them a lot slightly modified. I still complement them with a thicker, unison'd actual supersaw pad made from scratch but if you're just looking for a subtle jp8080 sound this pad is good.

Hey good idea gonna try that with the pro-63,I saw a tutorial here of a guy telling how to make a cool pro-53 pad for trance but when I did set up the pro 53 like he did the sound was diferent than the pad in his track :(.

i CANNOT believe no one has mentioned zeta absolutley essential for trance pads nothing comes close

you gotta learn a new instrument though. and zeta is not exactly the easiest instrument to learn :\ i find it quite confusing cuz half of its features are hidden in tabs and buttons and menus. blargh. sounds great though i agree.

Agreed 100% Atmosphere - Just playing with the basic sound library of over a 1000 patches is inspirational in itself.

Spectrasonics

With almost 4Gb of base sound data, I'm yet to even scratch the surface of this beast after more than a year.

Beautiful stuff. Wouldn't be without it.
