Dreamy and warm pad!
I really love the sound of this pad! So warm and delicate, it is very easy to play.
Rich and full pads and keys
This sound has lots of potential uses, but it also has a few quirks. The basic idea is that you're able to mix five different samples to varying degrees, and then share the attack and release and change the delay feedback. The sounds are all generally rich, playable, and inspiring. There are a few quirks to this instrument, however. The "Main" and "Arcade"samples extend from C1 to C6, which is pretty standard. The "Distorted," "Reverb," and "Tremolo" samples, however, run only from C1 to C4. So, if you find yourself playing those top two octaves, the sound is going to change if you play lower than C4. It's also important to note that some of the samples Main, Reverb, and Arcade were recorded with a fairly long attack, so regardless of the position of the attack slider, you're going to get a really long attack. You have the choice between a long and a longer attack, really. I think these are usable and interesting sounds. The GUI shows some promise as well of something that's on its way to being stylish and functional, but just isn't there quite yet. Overall, this is a really nice little library, though.
