Anyone know of a good synth for ambient pads? Something compatible with Atom Piano roll would be amazing!

Edit: This might be the most helpful forum i've seen!

    I love sugar bytes factory
    Audio damage Continua
    Imaginando FRMS
    Some really great ones for free as in app download in sunrizer too

    Be sure to get some reverb and delay too

  • FPCFPC

    Well I'm I big fan of the pad sounds that Sunriser can do (especially with a dab of Crystals and Velvet Machine) but also have a look at AutoPad.

  • Philandering_BastardPhilandering_Bastard

    In addition to @david_2017’s suggestions, take a look at SynthScaper. Extremely deep albeit a bit hard to tame.

  • Edward_AlexanderEdward_Alexander

    In addition to all of the above,

    Synthmaster One
    Aparillo
    DRC
    Lagrange
    Pure Synth Platinum
    Magellan 2

    Any of the Moog apps (Model D, Model 15, Animoog)

    And again, as @david_2017 mentioned, grab some reverbs and delays (I’d highly recommend Eventide’s Blackhole and FAC Alteza for reverbs, and Kosmonaut is a “must have” delay, especially if you’re into ambient stuff)

    LayR is a phenomenal synth for any sound and extra exceptional with for pads. its not the simplest synth on the market to program as it has, as the name suggests, layers ... but the presets available for it are enough for a life time of recording’s. its an ios classic synth, can’t go wrong. it can get high on the cpu but just depends

  • auxmuxauxmux

    KQ Dixie, just add layers and fx, especially reverb and delay.

  • I_sip_cuppsI_sip_cupps

    Sunrizer has some of the fattest pads on ios. Loads of free soundbanks too.

  • Grobles87Grobles87

    Are there any pad soundbanks available for Sunrizer that you can link me to? I mostly use pads in my church worship services and Sunrizer is amazing. However, I only have a single pad sound for it and am desperately looking for more.

    Have you downloaded preset from Sunrizer web library? There is tons of presets. Vintage Analog as some nice pads. If you don’t know how to accès the web library let me know I’ll make a couple screen capture.

    basically just use a lot of huge reverb like FAC Alteza and then synth itself is not that important... Any random sound send throug cool reverb (and eventually also filtered delay with long taps before reverb), with reverb wet 60% and more will make great ambient pad ...

    it works good with FM and WaveTable synthesis, but as i said source sound isn't thst important, 80% is in reverb

    generally, even farts sent throuh Alteza (or if you're lucky, through Strymon BigSky) will do great ambient pad :lol:

    for dark ambient use lot of ovedrive/distortion before reverb :)

    That would be great. I didn't even know there was a web library. I have always gotten sound packs and transferred them from my pc to Sunrizer through iTunes.

    In Sunrizer click on the preset window and at the bottom right you will see the Web Library. Click on a library to install in your Sunrizer.

    Klevgrand's Hillman is also fantastic for pads.

  • LeeBLeeB

    Here’s a free patch bank I made for Sunrizer. Plenty of pads in there, mostly set up as chords. You can turn the chord off if you wish. Jhttps://forum.audiob.us/discussion/15566/64-sunrizer-presets-free/p1

    Plus some plugins (ALTEZA, Black hole etc) YES!!! Hilman gets the job done big time

    Thanks, sounding good. What do you mean by “set up as chords”? Are you referring to the mode as Poly?

    Hi, on the main screen you have the chord button where you can set up one finger chords. Many of my patches have that engaged, but it can be disabled so that in poly mode you can play the keys as normal.

  • bleepbleep

    Oh, I had forgotten about that feature (or perhaps never seen it!). Need to spend more time with Sunrizer, these pads will help.

    There are way too many, but here’s a few. I’m sure I missed some, these are in no particular order.

    Soundscapes

    SynthScaper - IAA
    SynthScaper LE - AUv3 but not as much control as full version

    Granular

    Quanta
    FRMS
    Borderlands
    Tardigrain

    Synths with great Pads

    OBXD
    Mela
    Moog - Model D & Model 15
    iKaspar
    PureSynth Platinum
    Sunrizer
    Volt
    Mood
    DRC
    Bleass Alpha
    SynthMaster One
    Moodunits
    Hillman

    Monophonic - but still good atmospheric pad stuff

    Shockwave

    And of course Drambo, especially with New Wavetable IAP

    These are nice. Had them for awhile, I have 90% starred as a favorite.

  • PoppadocrockPoppadocrock

    Also AutoPad which is now AUv3, and loads samples, though there was an issue with that, and I haven’t checked to see if it’s been fixed.

    Yea also there’s a few FX that will turn many sounds into great pads. Velvet Machine. FAC Alteza. Black hole Reverb.

  • wimwim

    Anything + FAC Alteza = Pad
