This is an updated and expanded version of the first batch of presets I made. There are 15 presets total, tweaked to be at very usable volume levels, and very useful for electronic dance music! They are as follows.
Bright PWM Pad - A powerful, in-your-face pad that is a staple of trance intros and outtros. Try EQing the highs down or switching the filter into a lowpass to create useful variations.
DistoLead - A bright, distorted, and cutting lead sound perfect for a harder dance track. Sounds a little FM in nature, so if you plan on doing any remixes of Sega Genesis music... try this patch!
Dream Trance Pluck - This is a filtered "superpulse" patch layered with a soft pad to create a dreamy sound that is great for a breakdown or an intro. Change the filter cutoff to turn into a lead!
Heaven Soft Pluck - A subtle and subdued harp-style sound that is begging to be played in some arpeggios. EQ the low end down a bit if you want it to fit in the mix more.
Majestic FM Pad - A very large, FM-based pad that is not unlike "Bright PWM Pad". If you're into a darker and more forboding sound for your song, perhaps for psytrance, try it out.
Morph Lead - Everyone loves a simple saw lead! This preset is just a little variation on that by adding some motion to the sound. Rock out some synth solos. You know you want to.
PHD Square Bass - An emulation of the opening synth in The Crystal Method's trip hop/big beat song "PHD". Play it low and turn up your sub. Perfect for breakbeat and related genres.
Simple Soft Pad - A highly flexible, smooth, and warm pad sound suitable for virtually anything. Ideal for the generic "classic pad" kind of sound.. EQ down the lows a bit to make it fit better.
Sinister Poly PWM - Another harsh and dark patch. Use it as a polysynth, bass, or a really messed up pad. OSC3 is the subosc, so mess with that if you want to make it a little more subtle.
Stereo Beast Bass - A simple, but powerful, square-based bass sound that is VERY wide. Speaks for itself.
Supersaw 1 - OK, you knew this was coming. *The* Supersaw sound, the bread and butter of any epic, anthem, uplifting, melodic, or WHATEVER genre of trance. Use the X/Y control to affect subosc and filter cutoff.
Supersaw 2 - Same concept as the above preset, but with a somewhat different timbre.
Supersaw Pad - As you might imagine, it's a pad composed of supersaws! Surprising, eh? Change filter cutoff using the X/Y controller.
Trance Sweeper - A pad/poly patch that sweeps 'down' from a thick texture. Very useful for breakdowns or build-ups.
Triangular Pad (lowcpu) - Using just a single osc, it can't get much more basic than this. It is, however, useful for when you need a warm pad sound and even "Simple Soft Pad" is too CPU-heavy.
ENJOY!
edit: I think I'm going to make a full bank. I'm up to 25 sounds now.
