I´m a sucker for gentle, wide, spacey sounding pads which has always been a challenge to achieve in Reason before the introduction of REs.
Glad that we now have 2x Antidote + 2x Humana + 1x Kraft and a lot of DR-1 reverb.
Thanks.
Here I started with a preset from eXode´s amazing EDM for Antidote ReFill.
It already sounded very lush when the cut off freq is lowered. Then I typically tweak it a bit to my liking.
If you have a track where the pad stands on its own (like in my track) you typically need to layer multiple devices: one for the high (white noise), one for medium and one for the bass layer.One Antidote is not enough since it has only two main oscillators.
The "low" device just plays the root bass note while the "mid" device plays the chords. The "hi" device plays the whitenoise but also a lead.
White noise panned hard to left and right (or spread) gives the impression of wideness and light.
Good sounding reverb is very important, it removes the harshness. Synapse DR-1 is great for that.
I also added further devices (Humana) to give it that mystic touch and sonic variation.
Humana itself sounds a bit boring but it is good device to support the main sound.
very interesting, good work
It depends. Sometimes I design pads from the ground up but if I immediately find a good patch I just take it. No need to reinvent the wheel while you´re in the flow
