Pad feedback - stars of the lid?

[seasnipper]

Hey all, I have been listening to a lot of ambient lately, and I'm curious how I could recreate the extreme feedback sound on the pads in this song, they start around the thirty second mark and continue for the rest of the song.

Thanks

Likely a separate layer, because it has different amp envelope than the other pads. Not that much into ambient, but this specific style sounds very carefully layered and arranged. The sound is probably very thin on it's own. Every other sound in the mix seems to have a lot more movement and detuning.

Either simple waveforms (more or less a sine wave), or a filter with super high resonance + keytrack on the frequency. Long attack and release goes without saying.

One good reverb/delay designer, or multiple plugins. Possibly only drastic mono reverb during sound design, and more "normal" (maybe room?) stereo reverb only during mixing / on a send track. There are hints of automation/randomization on some parts, but the basic concept is very simple. If you'd look at the spectrum, it would likely just look like one slowly rising harmonic spike in the mids/upper mids.

Got it, thanks for the detailed reply!
