would you be able to tell me how you created the spandau ballet "true" pad? I've tried to recreate it myself but didn't turn out as well as yours
Hi Pidcin. Sorry, I can't exactly recall how each patch were created, most of them is just a matter of trial and error, in particular the emulations. I listen to the original pad and then I first try to get the oscillator shape correct, then the amp envelope and the filter envelope (if any) along with the right filter / res setting, then effects and in between I consider keytracking, velocity, vibrato, aftertouch etc. Often it doesn't take that long to get a rough draft created but then the finer adjustment begins, a little fine tweak here a little adjustment there and suddenly it's done - the fine tweaking often takes most of the time.
So... sorry I couldn't be of much help deciphering that particular patch.
