Explore An Intuitive GUI And Get Inspired By 128 Amazing Presets

GUI Overview

The “Pad Therapy” GUI is split into three main areas – the Main tab, the Edit tab and the Library tab.

When you launch “Pad Therapy”, you will be presented with the “Main” screen, where you can adjust parameters and settings for all the presets. The < preset > – label at the top shows the currently active preset.

Sound Generation

“Pad Therapy” features nine sample-playback engines with 64 source waveforms each. Each preset in “Pad Therapy” comes with three “states” (snapshots) that can be edited and played back in various orders and blended/morphed if wished.

It comes with effects like flanger, phaser and a production-quality reverb as well as full randomization.

“Pad Therapy” generates its sounds by playing back chosen sounds from three layers simultaneously and via blending/morphing between three “states“ (A,B and C):

• P1 – pad layer one.
• P2 – pad layer two.
• Noise – additional noise/textures layer.

Each layer has a set of controls to shape the sound. You can adjust the volume for each one, use the reverb knob to dial in reverb for each layer as well as choose a source waveform to be played back.

MAIN CONTROLS:

• Master – controls the overall output volume.
• Volume – when turned on, states will be faded in volume.
• Filter (LP/HP) – when turned on, the states will be filtered using a lowpass or highpass filter.
• Filter Q – when [FILTER] blending/morphing is engaged, this lets you control the amount of filter bandwidth, also called filter resonance for each state.
• Speed – this controls the blending/morphing speed between the three states (A,B and C).
• MW – above the speed knob is a little modwheel-switch. When this is turned on, you can control the blending/morphing speed while the sequence is running using the modulation wheel on your MIDI keyboard.
• Stop – this will stop blending/morphing immediately
• Modwheel – once this it turned on, the blending/morphing will only happen between the first two chosen states in the state playlist.

Preset Browsing

In the top center, you’ll find the preset and library controls. From here you can switch “Pad Therapy” presets using the left and right arrows. As an alternative, you can click on the “Library” tab to open up the library browser for more convenient preset browsing.

The Edit Window

From here you can edit all the three “Pad Therapy” states in a single page easily. As you might already know, each preset in “Pad Therapy” is made out of three different states or “snapshots”. You can see it as presets in presets. These states are called A, B and C and are used for the blending & morphing.

Effects

• Flair – controls the amount of the “flair” effect. This effect uses tuned delays to create metallic/ringing overtones.
• Pitch – controls the pitch (tuning) of the “flair” effect.
• MW – use these to control either the “flair” amount or pitch via the modulation wheel (CC #1).
• Flanger – flanger effect amount.
• Phaser – phaser effect amount.

Audio File Importing

“Pad Therapy” features audio file importing (WAV/AIF) via drag and drop within the EDIT window only. You can either import a single audio file or multiple files at once (up to 64 per layer).

To import audio files, simply drag them from Kontakt’s files browser or from anywhere outside into the “Pad Therapy” interface.
