Yotto - North (how do you think this pad was made?) [PAD Movement]

[isuckatproducing]

Hi,



Was listening to this track, and this whole track is basically "one" pad with some FX from time to time, but still somewhat interesting.

I like the movement in that pad, and was brainstorming how did he make it.

Do you guys think it's like 2 layered pads, and the top high freq one having slow sidechain?
Or perhaps I'm overthinking it, and it's just automated LP filter with LFO or whatever.

Not trying to recreate, just curious as I suck at pads, always end up boring.

I'm waiting for PRO-800 synth to arrive but I doubt it can be made using that?

And I'm I right to assume there is probably a lot of phaser involved?

Great pads are always about movement. Not too much and not too regular - so I always turn BPM sync off or the old noggin quickly ignores it, seeing the pattern is so predictably regular and therefore the brain looks for movement that indicates there could be a wabbit in the bushes.

It could well be several sounds/patches layered in a Macro with controls to change things over time like balance between patches/tones etc.

The best thing is not to copy but to find what the Scene & Story of the Songs needs.

True.

I was just curious how this one was designed most likely. It sounds like it has top layer with slow sidechain but I don’t know. Some people
have better ears than me.
