michael c Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 What do you guys recommend for great 'pad' sounds and synthesizer sounds in a rackmount module. I have plenty of sampled 'acoustic' stuff and am looking for great dial up pads.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Azzarello Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 My personal favorite is the D550. Lot's of animation, and pretty good built in effects. It always had a fuzzier sound to me than other modules, but it works well in tracks. Pat http://www.patazzarello.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 My personal faves are the Kawaii K5000 and the Yamaha FS1R. Both digital with sophisticated envelopes.

Rod S Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I agree with Jerry, both of those excel in that area. Personally, I also like the pads in the Korg Wavestation. I recently picked up a wavestation SR for $300, worth the money, IMHO.

Pim Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 What's a dial up pad? My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobro Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Originally posted by pim@dancewave.nl: What's a dial up pad? I think that means preset, as in it's there and you can just dial it up. Hey Jerry the K5000 is a Fourier synth isn't it? Can you post a link to some sounds? Because of Charlie Midnight's thread I've been looking into Fourier/Resynthesis and the only things along those lines I can pinpoint in my memory is '80s Ultravox and Jarre, both of whom used a very simplified (but cool sounding) form if I'm not mistaken. -CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccajay Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I think you'll be shocked at tht quality of the pads in the Nanosynth.... I know it wouldnt make it as your main instrument, but for me the more I explore the more I end up coming back to my Nano for Pads. For around $200 of less you'd be surprized! TROLL . . . ish.

Dave Bryce Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 See if you can find a Wavestation SR. Really, really great sounding box with a whole bunch of really distinctive and interesting sounds (550 programs). It is especially great for pads. I'll bet you'd dig it. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g05 Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 how much difference is there between the wavestation and the wavestation SR as far as presets go? g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Originally posted by g05: how much difference is there between the wavestation and the wavestation SR as far as presets go? The SR has more of 'em. Both the keyboard and rackmount A/D version of the Wavestation have 150 programs (IIRC), where the SR has 550. I believe that all of the Wavestation's programs are in the SR. The tradeoff is that the SR has a much smaller display, and is significantly harder to edit. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
