Pads: Wavetable Pad Synthesizer by Klevgrand Free Download

The wave selector lets you choose two waveforms and morph between them with a single slider, giving you a path from one timbre to another across the sustain of a pad.

The grain control adds noise to the signal. Dragging horizontally adds white noise, and dragging upward adds more irregular noise and grain. The grain layer is sampled from a real Hammond organ with a broken tone wheel, which gives the texture a gritty, imperfect character.

The wobble control adds analogue-style unpredictability through slight detuning and filter inaccuracy. Used with restraint, it keeps long pads from sounding sterile.

Filter, attack and volume can each be modulated by note velocity, so harder playing can brighten a pad, shorten its attack or raise its level. This makes the instrument more responsive to performance than a fixed-patch synth.

The filter, envelope and chorus sections shape the sound further. Together with the morph and grain controls, they give you the main levers for turning a basic pad into a finished texture.

The plugin includes 30 handcrafted presets created by professional musicians, which serve as starting points for adjusting the controls.
