Mars Pads - GX-80

Mars Pads contains 100 synth pads for Cherry Audio GX-80 synthesizer. In this soundbank the patches are exploring the bright side of the synth. The key to that is usually the filter cutoff modulation. Also in some of them the resonance is pretty much obvious adding an eerie sonic dimension – floating over Mars red fields.

The presets in their majority could also be used as classic polysynths in terms of performance as most of them do not have long attack time.

They fit mainly for new age and cinematic music especially where retrofuturism and sci-fi like themes are the wanted result. Also, could find their way in some progressive rock and early electronic music productions.

In some presets you may listen to some clicks coming from the LFO (SubOscillator). While it preserves the original aspects of the synth that is emulated if you need to eliminate it, one good solution is to change the SubOscillator Function to Triangle.

Presets were designed with GX-80 1.0.13 (Build 153) and run best with this or newer edition.
