Topic: Ambient pad using Organteq

I think Modartt had all the tech needed to make some awesome ambient pads; not sure this is part of their intended roadmap though, but hopefully I'm wrong. In the mean time, I thought I'd try a small experiment with Organteq :-)

Here is my humble pad recepie:
1) start with a careful selection of stops in Organteq
2) add liberal amounts of tremulant and reverb in Organteq
3) optional: add a tape emulation plugin to the result
4) incorporate a final plate reverb for finishing touches
5) optional: sprinkle some granular goodness with a granular effects plugin

After a few batches of tests, here's the result, hope you like it:

I love Organteq and to experiment and I love this composition. Nice intro , the rising going up. And the whole composition, how it is growing and changing. Nice ending how it dies out. And nice tape recorder 

I have experimented with Organteq to get pad and hammondlike sounds and it is interesting. Having a melody and copy it to 3 tracks and detune them different - 440 438  436 for example, + much tremulant  a s o      Hammond organ !! Demos somewhere in Orgtq forum,….

But, well done Marc Boulé

And thanks for liking my contest entry. It was an experiment too   

Best wishes,

Stig

Thanks Stig!

The building blocks are there indeed, and I guess if Modartt made all our dream instruments, we would unfortunately experiment less, haha ;-)

Yeah, your entry this year was tremendous, my jaw dropped when I heard it... it was a shame it didn't make the final round, but we'll get 'em next year!

Take care,

Marc

Thanks budo! Yeah, it's lots of fun, very neat to have all the wires right there in front of us, very immediate and direct. The standalone version is free, and there are tons of free modules. And some great tutorials by a certain Omri Cohen too. Cheers!
