there's really no better place on the internet for pads than here

[osmark]

these pads are so classic and sound just as good today as they did back in the 90s

[XingoMusic]

Man, I truly say, your tutorials are a relief for the soul as well. I'm from the '90s, and bringing back all the feelings from that time is wonderful. Great work!

Great video all the techniques you talked about translates well not only on triton, m1, wavestate and omnisphere but especially on a sampler. I used it on tal sampler, quick sampler, bitwig sampler, Ableton sampler and even mpc keygroup sampler. Thank you sensei for your knowledge and understanding. You are definitely one of the best Synth and sampling YouTubers on the web showing the power of sampling technology. For the longest I didn’t quite understand the main differences of analog synths, digital rompers and samplers especially cuz I was getting bad inform that analog was king. But you opened my eyes and mind how sampling changed that 90s sound I always loved but didn’t quite understand how it was achieved by Sade, Loose Ends, Seal, and Trevor Horn. Thank you.

Could you maybe do a video focused on chords for ambient pads? I feel like thats a topic that is often overlooked when it comes to pads. I tried out the patches that you explained in this video but my pads still ended up sounding kinda underwhelming because I lack knowledge when it comes to picking the right chords for ambient pads. So I'm curious if you have any tips or strategies for picking good chords for ambient pads. Your chords always sound so full and (for lack of a better word) ambient!

Saw a real hardware Triton at Guitar Center for my first time yesterday. The screen was huge! Thanks for posting another Triton video and keeping this synth history alive.

[StanleyKubick]

this is super helpful. I've been getting back into dnb lately and have had to resample everything until now, I can't wait to please with some clean sounds

[JustHappyBurger]

Just in time for my morning coffee and brekkie. Thanks for this! 🩶

01:36 You're absolutely right that this pad is literally everywhere in Ambient DnB, I even made a short video about this exact chord showing my fav tunes that use it. I believe the octave in the bass and the two notes only a semitone apart make it so interesting, it is both full of energy and relaxing at the same time. Simply sublime and you nailed it with the sound selection for it!

[megamatt]

not only a great video for creating these sounds, but really sheds some good light on a solid sense of workflow in the triton. we can never get enough triton content! 🙌

[synthphilosophy]

Yeah that sweep one I just realized is a tool I have not applied much yet. Thanks for the reminder and you just touched my soul with those sounds. Thank you.

[daroanvimusen]

this synth/VST is a beast !! I love the option with combi sounds, you can delay some sounds, for example, violins PAD and after 3 seconds, a choir comes in the sound, and it's totally awesome !!

[philipernst]

You should atleast have 100k views on your vids man, the way you explain is detailed, but not redundant. Clear and concise, thanks a ton!

[gianlucamarchese]

So much PS2 intro memories here... Been obsessed with these type of pads for ages before finding your channel and learning the source and their flavors based upon how you build them (VA, Analog, Romplers, Wavetables, FM, combo of those)... Would love your take on a similar format but with different synths like Wavestation, JV1080, Microwave, maybe a similar kind of video but with Silent Hill inspired sounds (?), loved so much your take on Deus Ex that I wouldn't mind a second video on that too lol, sounds like a buying list...

I know Sewerslvt is using a lot these kind of pads nowadays, may be worth to check those out!
Thanks for your immense passion and hard work mate!

[LordReeseMoog]

This is such a treasure on Youtube. Love your videos man! Always look forward to whatever you’re going to do next.

[mydihandsheeet]

dude i got korg m1 and wavestation, i dont need anything else, love the 90s ambient and decided to make that with a bit of a twist, will add lo-fi element to it with tape plugins, your channel is awesome

[aarongarcia]

You are killing it bro. Lack of atmo dnb specific sound design stuff online and you are up to the task. I’d be interested in something that goes into the arrangement stage on these pads. When I listen to all my favorite 90s records I’ve always wondered like if they are just resampling one huge 64 bar or playing diff patches against each other. Or how they get the tails and attacks to not overlap too much.

[nsjx]

beautiful man. it took me many years to learn the power of subtle mods working with and against each other, aside from beating between osc's. always a pleasure dropping by here. keep up the vibe

[deejaysoulution]

I have been looking for a tutorial like yours for a long time on how to create beautiful warm & smooth, ethereal pad sounds. Thank you very much

[daeryxaqueryx]

Thanks, man...appreciate the nuts n bolts on how to create some of my favorite pad sounds ever.

Imma head out now and listen to Wax Doctor's Heat now that you got me in the mood.
