Nord User Forum

Hi!

I'm looking for lush, warm, inspiring, haunting pads to play along with piano

May you do some?
Think about Steve Roach, Brian Eno, etc

I'm an Electro 4d user, and I've been quizzing this forum (among others) for Warm Pad sounds for the 4d for a couple of years.

I'm looking for a utility sound called Warm Pad that used to be found on just about every keyboard I have owned since the 80's - it's an essential go to sound for me. On the Yamaha Mox it's was called Analog, on the Korg Trion it's called Pad Tropolis.

I just got an Roland Fa06 - and believe it or not there' isn't a good one on it. Rather frustrating.

Take a look at this track from an Minnesota band called the Pines - I would die for that ambient patch he's pulling off here:



I think he's playing it on a Nord Stage.... has anyone found found anything like this in their travels?

You can try this.....I use it on my E4

Thanks Daveher! Even if I didn't notice until two years later! - Pad Tropolis is the actual Pad I used to use on MY Korg X50 AND MicroX! - I'd given up on Nord's ability to do this. Your Sample sounds a little different - but better in some ways. More Breathy and with some rising harmonics as you hold it. It sounds very similar to one I found on the boards.

Daveher, this patch is good! I was on my way to bed. Then I happened to dig this thread using the search function. Glad I did! Posted in the year 2020 and still helping users like me. I love it and will be my primary pad for now.

Thanks again!
