How to make deep warm Pads ?

Post by Rocness »

With all the pad sounds the Jupiter 80 has very few are warm sounding which is crazy to me .
There mostly thousands of high pitch pad sound , wheres the warmth ?
Have any of you also notice this ?

Also have you notice that the filter nob does very little filtering , what gives ?

Anyway whats the best way to get some warm pad sounds ?

Thanks

One way to add depth and warmth is by adding and experimenting with chorus.
Even with analog systems that can be true.
I have a Roland Super JX10 analog system and for Pads I find myself using it's 2 choices for chorus.
On my jupiter 80 for richer pads I also use that rule..........add some chorus plus a little reverb.

Experiment with the Jupiter 80 FX section.

For real filtering go into the tone section then into the (edit synth) partials section and play with the filter in that area.

Note: the acoustic section doesn't have that filter editing section like the SuperNatural synth tones does.
Do one Tone at a time and do one partial within that tone at a time so you can hear the effect on that particular partial and tone

Hope that helps?

Some do sound a little thing so I set about.....

Adding some of the dimension effect

Adding a bit of panned mod delay.

Putting effects in series.

Detuning and panning oscillators, even adding a third one where appropriate.

Increasing the analog feel.

Changing, as suggested above, the filter settings and also experimenting with the filters types.

Sometimes the combination of some of the above was too thick, deep and warm so I had to back things off a bit!

The JP80 can certainly do big pads!

Hope this helps.
