Subject: fun with pads

From: "spaceanimals" <rainbowjimmy@...>

Thought I would use the AN1X as a pad machine to layer with the piano
sound in the Vintage Keys module (I know, not much of a piano).


What a riot! I took one of my stock lead sounds, remembered to turn off
the distortion, switch to poly mode, and lengthen the attack. Still way
too overwhelming. Even with the high pass filter rolling off the lows,
the sound completely took over.

With the osc turned to square waves the fm turned off and a few other
things to emasculate the sound I did get something that resembled a
pad. I switched it back to the way I had it before. A much more
interesting sound.

The AN1X can certainly dial in some punchy sounds.
