Atmospheric DnB Pads Deconstructed

In this video I look at how atmospheric drum ‘n’ bass pads are made. First I make a generic pad in Xfer Records Serum, then I deconstruct some pad presets used in some of my favourite atmospheric DnB tunes including sounds from the Roland D-50, Korg M1, and Roland JV-1080. Please check out my sample pack Atmospheric Pads published by Polyend, featuring 100 fresh pad sounds for $10: https://polyend.com/product/atmospheric-pads/ There’s an accompanying video where I make an atmospheric DnB tune on Polyend’s Tracker+ hardware, you can check that out here: https://youtu.be/Aon2nWwUVw0 I offer online tuition and music production assistance, book your session here: https://bit.ly/TimCantBooking 00:00 Intro 00:49 Making a pad in Serum 05:42 The Blade Runner Blue Pad 06:30 Roland D-50 - Soundtrack 10:31 Roland D-50 - Glass Voices 12:09 Korg M1 - Universe 13:52 Roland JV-1080 - Spaced Voxx 16:14 Roland JV-1080 - Pure Tibet 16:58 Conclusions 17:58 Where to get pad sounds 19:34 Plugs and outro Here’s the playlist featuring all the tunes mentioned in the video: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlNuLCZZj8jX3TOE4IF07_pkspZcmHRiK&si=wdshDTS9d12q2IkT Roland D-50 Celebration Moments with Eric Persing: https://youtu.be/VggsB5eZ0oM?si=fSe5BpKjAemoAdjp Software mentioned in the video: Xfer Records Serum: https://xferrecords.com/products/serum/ XILS V+: https://www.xils-lab.com/store/xils-vp/ Roland D-50: https://www.roland.com/global/products/rc_d-50/ Korg M1: https://www.korg.com/uk/products/software/kc_m1/ Roland JV-1080: https://www.roland.com/global/products/rc_jv-1080/ Roland JD-800: https://www.roland.com/global/products/rc_jd-800/ Roland XV-5080: https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc_xv-5080/ Korg Wavestation: https://www.korg.com/uk/products/software/kc_wavestation/ Korg Triton: https://www.korg.com/uk/products/software/kc_triton/ Meat Beats Orbhits: https://meatbeats.gumroad.com/l/orbhits Nils’ K1v https://www.nilsschneider.de/wp/nils-k1v/ Gospel Musicians TGX-85: https://gospelmusicians.com/products/tgx85 Gospel Musicians TGX-99: https://gospelmusicians.com/products/tgx99 Gospel Musicians BlueBeast: https://gospelmusicians.com/products/bluebeast-2 UVI Synth Anthology 4: https://www.uvi.net/synth-anthology-4 Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2: https://www.spectrasonics.net/products/omnisphere/ Vengeance Producer Suite Avenger 2: https://www.vengeance-sound.com/plugins.php Chronicle - Outer Rings vinyl forthcoming on Okbron, check it out in this mix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlHko9kyvb8&t=1112s Chronicle - Future Fragments vinyl forthcoming on Curvature, check it out in this mix: https://youtu.be/hZlzeAiyWYE?si=ld4D9m1PSOc5cSHC&t=4660 Greekboy & Tim Cant - Transcendental Mantra vinyl out now on Soul Deep: https://www.redeyerecords.co.uk/vinyl/163118-sdevnyl015-greekboy-and-tim-cant-atlas- Vibena - Camden Style/Uplifting Ecstasy forthcoming on Remix Records Vibena - Raveheart EP forthcoming on Endor Recordings Greekboy & Tim Cant - Transcendental Mantra vinyl out now on Soul Deep: Check out my DnB music on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/dfchzrdz Check out my latest happy hardcore EP: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4xmpd Photo by Zbynek Burival on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/@zburival
