How are these Pads tuned? Are they in major or minor?

I see its free with any purchase.

Threw both Equuleus and Arcturus into my DAW, quite impressed with the sounds th-cam.com/video/FItDFnw9txs/w-d-xo.html

Sounds amazing! Bought it right away

Sounds absolutely amazing - well done.

Sounds nice, well done, but there are 5 demos on the web page, and all of them, to me, sound about the same...a full blast assault on the ears. Would like a nicer/wider VARIETY of pads. These all sound pretty much the same to me. I wanted to buy it, and the price is great, (and I still might purchase it), but I am disappointed the demos didn't show a wider variety of pads. I would've clicked "BUY NOW" immediately had the demos blew me away. But I couldn't pull the trigger.

I've been thinking a lot about this because 1) it's a very necessary/needed product, and 2) you mentioned, or I read somewhere you were in the process of assembling/working on patches. If that's the case, I just wanted to add my two cents as a keyboardist/engineer/producer who is very much in need of a product like this. I wanted to ask if it's possible to truly stay focused on usable, awesome pads...lo pads, high pads, musical pads, pads that evoke what you're going after in this demo. But STAY that way...don't veer off into klanky,mechanical sci fi pads---because there are TONS of those out there. We need great pads. It would be great if this became 'the talked about' plug ins for awesome pads. And, you could expand/upgrade the library over time, and it could develop, rather than fall by the wayside in two years because someone else comes along. Using Omnisphere just for example purposes--their stranglehold on sound quality and market share is strong, and well deserved. They raised the bar in that area. I've spent a small fortune looking for great pads. I spent $4,000 on the new Montage M7, and am quite disappointed with the pads/layers. You have to look forever in Omnisphere to find MUSICAL, usable pads without sci fi klunks and 5ths added. We can add our own 5ths! But if you can't take an awesome pad that has 5ths and do much with it, because, obviously when you play 4 note chords, you're producing a disastrous unwanted final musical sound. It would be great to see someone come out with a super set of pads, even if it takes longer to develop, OR, as long as you can release it and then with an update, expand the library. Early Roland samplers/Akai samplers had marvelous pads of all different approaches....high and thin, mid range and string like, full and rich. I purchased many of the Kontakt libraries that offer 'pads', or products similar to each other, where there is an "A" section and a "B' section, and you can mix and match sounds to basically create a 'new' sound. It would be great if you provided such an option as well. However, I have disappointingly found that in all of the Kontakt type libraries/synths of this sort, they all veer into the sci fi/unusable pads for simple song recording. Obviously, you're going to go in the direction you see as the most interesting for your clientele, and that's understood. But based on the 'demo' here, in my opinion, you'd be filling a much needed gap in the soft synth world by providing a true source for awesome pads. This demo is awesome, and in the right direction for what I need, and for what is so difficult to find out there. Omnisphere may have X,000 sounds, but try to put together one real nice bank of awesome USABLE pads, and it would take you forever, and you won't end up with that many. Same with the Montage M7. They keep re-issuing slightly improved versions of old Montage sounds. Who needs that? The world has enough SYNTH stuff...OBX's, Prophets, Moogs, Junos, you name it. We have tons of sci fi 'noise' (Melted vibes, underwater guitars, ...you get the point" What is NOT available is true, 'go to' software with so many good pads you can't decide on which ones to use, or you want to use them all! I just want to add my two cents since you're still in the patch development stages. And, because there can always be an update....and another update, where the library keeps expanding. Third party people make libraries for the Montage M7---but it's all more of the same....$30.00 for FIVE lousy patches/new organ???? Really? More sci fi sounds? Really? It would be great if creative third party people would contribute 'pads' to you for your development, or if you officially 'approve' a third party's library, like giving it a good rating from the parent company. Some third party libraries you could 'endorse' or 'give your blessing to' and others not, if they don't meet your standards. So a third party developer would certainly want to earn your stamp/symbol on their packaging, etc. So...that's that. I think the soft synth world NEEDS something like Equuleus, or a dedicated USABLE pad product. One that STAYS on pads, and leave other areas alone--they've all been done, they're all out there a hundred times over in various $29.00 programs, or $59.00 programs. Make a GREAT pads product, be the Omnisphere of Usable/Musical Pads. That's what I would like to see as a disappointed consumer who has spent several thousands of dollars seeking such pads. EXAMPLE: On the patch you are demoing in this video, it would be nice to have a version WITHOUT the piano, because what if I love the patch, and I want to use it in a song that already has my piano part in it? I would not be able to do so unless there's a version WITH the piano, like in this video, and WITHOUT the piano, which opens the door to much more usage. If you have the typical "A" section and "B' sections that can be blended, like so many Kontakt style soft synths, that would make that possible. If you're not going to employ such a mixing capability, then offer the pad with piano and without, and you could also offer the pad without some of the extra synth layers, creating yet more pads, from the same basic group of synths you're using. Flexibility. Don't tie down the user by adding 5ths we can't remove, and adding sounds we can't remove. Nothing worse than finding a beautiful pad----but it has piano layered on top of it that we can't remove. Thank you for your time.

If more of the patches are like (WITHOUT adding 5th's, etc....which really screw up using a nice pad in an actual song where that '5th' causes problems during chord changes, it might be an interesting product, worth buying. I'd stick to straight pads though, leave out the piano additions, unless of course, you can 'subtract' the piano within the user interface. Nothing is worse than finding a beautiful pad, but the piano is locked in as part of it/can't be removed. I've been HOPING for nicer, better, pads...so this is very appealing to me. Good luck with the patches. Looking forward to hearing more. And don't be THAT impressed with Omnisphere...yes the sound quality of the product is fabulous, it truly is, but there's so much garbage/wasted patches on it. I'm lucky if I find one out of 100 patches I can actually 'use' in a musical environment. The rest are great for FX/movies/etc. But there's a lot of garbage in Omnisphere. I'm really looking forward to this product/patch list. Thanks.

Sounds like Omnisphere II layered with a piano??? I'll have to wait to hear more patches before purchasing.

It would have been good to run this over free Kontakt too...but as the info says it needs full version of Kontakt😢
