Glassy Pad Ideas

Post by tpantano »

Any ideas on how to create a thin, hollow sounding pad- something glassy? I've been working with VPM Moded sines + ring moded sines, put through a high pass with resonance to give it that hollow low end, but I've had little luck.

Any ideas for specific harmonics/tuning to use for the VPM/Ring for a really nice glassy tone?

I don't have an R3 but keytrack the filter and set EG3 to resonance so that it maxes out at its peak. If you can route an LFO to the keytrack parameter add a slow and subtle warble, if not keytrack, pitch.

The low end is a MKXL preset called glassy that I layered with a top following the advice of you and zalo.

The hollow low is a sine and square. Minimal waveshaping on the sine and +12 on the square. They're running through a velo sensitive lowpass with static 40% reso. Some chorus and delay are applied.

My patch is a tri with minimal vpm mod depth and harmonics. -12 semi square at <50% volume with ring mod. Parallel filters with EG3 taking care of boosting the reso to around 70% with sustain after peaking at 127. LFOs to cutoffs/amps/int. Applied limiter to tame the reso spikes.

Sounds good but i made it without EQ or drive, lots to tinker with. No MFX/mod seq/arp used.
