How can it not matter whether it's digital or analog pads? Wavestation for instance makes very different pads compared to a typical "analog" synth.

Go2 is fun to use and has some nice features for $49.

Being on KVR I first misread this as "and you can't like both".

I find it odd. It's like saying I am interested in a guitar, doesn't matter whether it's an acoustic Spanish guitar or a Strat

If you wait for a while (not long!) you will see a sale for Synthmaster 2.9 or SM One.
SM One has been on sale for only $29 in the past.

May I ask for your musical Targets? Which Kind of Pads? Examples?

Korg M1 and Wavestation haven´t been mentioned yet and depending on what you want to do there are other Alternatives, too.

AIR Hybrid and one more from them (cheap!) for Examples. Genesis Pro (32 Bit). Big Tick Rhino (FM, cute Thing, <3 it).

Freeware:

But if you ask me - personally - DUNE3 for Pads and some HQ FX afterwards ... Pads are the Weakness of the VST World and SM is Masoschism

Sounds pretty good too.

I missed this one, thanks for the heads up. Still in Beta but worth a look.

You will get endless suggestions! But I suggest to start with the free ones and the CM magazine DVD ($5) and keep saving for something like Diva or Dune 3 or what's ever you really really like!

Here is the starting step:

+1
drop some modern reverb behind it and it is still a pad beast today.

M1 too.

I'm tired of Phonec getting left out of these discussions when it's the best for pads especially.

All you need...Xpand2...

Also Pad's are all about processing too so it may actually be better to spend $50 on something like ValhallaDelay or Vintage Verb.

TAL-U-NO-LX is hard to beat for what you are asking.

Its an emulation of the Juno 60 which is still used by lots of new and old bands.

Great pads, bass, arps, etc....

Looking for a solid ‘pad synth’ under $50
