I'm looking for some pads along the lines of Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, etc. I have Sytrus, which comes close. Atmosphere would probably do the trick, but I don't want to spend that much. How about Zero G's Nostalgia?

He works on two Panasonic Ramsa digital consoles with a Digidesign 001 Pro Tools system, and a MOTU 2408mk3 digital interface and two MIDI interfaces, as well as such software as GigaStudio Version 1, the latest Digital Performer, Pro Tools LE 5.2 Mac, Finale Final Cut 2 and Toast with Jam CD-authoring suite. He also uses a Lexicon PCM-80 and has FX and Hafler power amps. His speakers include Mackie HR-824s, and Yamaha NS-10s and NS-101s. Synths and samplers are a mixture of Roland (5080, V-Synth, S760) and Spectrasonics (Stylus, Atmosphere Soft Sync, Trilogy Soft Sync), along with a Korg Triton 88-key, Kurzweil K2600R, Access Virus C, Studio Logic SL-880 and SL-161 controllers, RMX Soft Sync and a MOTU MachFive soft sampler.

Despite the wealth of gear at his disposal, Badalamenti does not come off as a gearhead. Indeed, he is very old-school in his approach to making music — just do it. He likes velocity-sensitive keyboards that allow him to make crescendos and decrescendos. He disdains click tracks, preferring to compose from scratch. He likes both organic and synth strings and tends to combine them in mixing.

Looks like he used to use a Roland JX-10 back in the Twin Peaks days.

Good question - love that Twin Peaks stuff - very ethereal

Sickle, that's a great article! Thanks!

Do you know if he used anything else besides the JX-10 back then? (That's all I could find over at the Vintage Synth Explorer website.)

If I recall those Twin Peaks pads were a JX10 layered with a D50.

So like being suggested Atmosphere is a good choice because it has some JX10 samples like the legendary Soundtrack patch.

VSTs for Angelo Badalamenti pads?
