What Pads does
The synth combines a wavetable oscillator, a noise and grain generator and a high cut filter. Two waveforms can be selected and morphed by dragging a slider, while the grain level is set by dragging horizontally and noise is added by dragging upwards. The grit is sampled from a real Hammond organ broken tone wheel, and the Wobble section detunes the waveforms and adds filter inaccuracy. Filter, attack and volume can be modulated by velocity.
Key features
- Wave selector. Two waveforms can be chosen and morphed between by dragging the slider, which sets the core timbre of each sound.
- Grain and noise. Dragging horizontally sets the grain level sampled from the Hammond tone wheel, and dragging upwards adds white noise.
- Wobble. The wobble factor detunes the waveforms and adds filter inaccuracy, giving the analogue unpredictability the developer describes.
- Velocity modulation. Filter, attack and volume respond to note velocity, so the same key press can change the character of a pad.
