Early digital synths with limited memory meant instruments were built from short, looped samples stretched across the keyboard. The result was raw and imperfect, but full of character.
Stretching samples across the keyboard meant subtle modulations and quirks were magnified—creating pads that oozed character.
It’s a sound you’ll instantly recognise from artists like Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada.
PADS recreates that retro magic using single-samples from vintage synths, processed through tape for extra texture, and wrapped in a simple to use Ableton Live Rack.
Each of the 64 built-in samples is pitched across the keys to give you lush, expressive pads full of nostalgic haze.
Layer multiple samples for an endless variety of tones and textures.
