Cool, simple way to make nice pads

Post by Idonotlikebroccoli » Thu Jun 28, 2007 8:37 pm

1: Download Synth1 VSTi if you haven't got it already [CLICK] (Right-click and save target as)

2: Open up synth1 and choose preset 58: trombone

3: Play a few chords with it. Sounds pretty crappy, doesn't it?

4: Add some reverb of your choice, or put this [CLICK] on a return channel and crank Synth1's send to about -17 or so.

5: Play some chords now. Neat ;D

Feel free to add some more points of your own, or other tricks. It would be most appreciated :) Also feel free to ask if some points don't work out for you.

+1 on Synth1 - LOVE it. Throw a little Arpeggiator on it and have even more fun!

That's weird. It works for me when I right-click and save. It doesn't work when only clicking it though
