How to Make Nice Pad with Synapse Toxic

via VstCafe:

In this tutorial, I would like to show how to create some nice, warm, dreamy pad. Again, I use great Subtractive / FM Synth – Synapse Toxic II. No other external effects used (well, I used limiter to avoid clicks).

At first, I activated 6 Oscillators very slightly fined / detuned to get some movement (you can hear it nicely when I tweak Osc 4 frequency). Then I started to tweak most of Toxic’s tools such as: 1x LFO, Filter + Envelope, Amp Envelope, Unison, Chorus, Delay, EQ and FM Matrix. Even without FM Matrix the sound seemed nice but with FM Matrix you can reach the exact sound you want.

VstCafe demonstrates how to make an awesome progressive house lead:

This tutorial shows how to create (with Synapse Toxic II 2.5 vst plugin – btw. it’s a killer synth for such low price) a simple, progressive house lead similar to those well known kaskade, dmau leads.

As you can see, I didn’t use internal delay / reverb unit. I used external – Ableton effects such as reverb, ping pong delay, EQ and compressor (sidechaining) – really nothing special.
