Where can I find instruments like this ?

[bjmg]

Hi everyone, I'm wondering where to get this kind of instrument. I know it's going through a sidechain and I think it's a pad ? I tried finding it in Analog Lab V but couldn't find any like this.



Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I'm wondering where to get this kind of instrument. I know it's going through a sidechain and I think it's a pad ?

String pads and a choir or vocals sample. The volume changes in sync with the beat. There are numerous ways to get the volume effect apart from side-chaining.

I don't know what the original patches are. Try a big rompler synth or GeneralMidi library. I'd say these should be bread&butter sounds.

Sidechained or auto gated stuff. I think the bits that stand out is that almost all of the parts that aren't drums are completely drenched in reverb. The little vocal bits have slightly less reverb.
The keys, synths etc are having their amplitude manipulated along with the reverb so you'd want to use inserts or route the reverb return to a group where you'd do that 8th note amplitude pulse.

In the first example (Fredo - I'm Back ), in addition to volume automation there seems to be also variation in unison detune amount. The first 8th note pulse has less detune than the following three pulses. This could be done by some synth detune automation, effect automation, or just layering more detuned sound with slower volume automation rhythm.

There is a steep low-pass filter at about 6.2 kHz. That could be some samplerate reduction effect, like Cymatics Origin, or just steep eq/filter.
In bars 5 .. 8, where the chords play lower, we can hear a steep high-pass filter at about 700 Hz.

Here is an example:

I used Roland XV-5080 plugin for strings and vox sounds, two alternating instances of Arturia Efx Refract for unison detune variation, Cymatics Origin and Ableton EQ8 for filters, Valhalla VintageVerb for reverb, Cableguys Shaperbox for volume automation.
