In general, you want " smooth" or " mushy" VCO changes, and " slow" filter changes for

pads. However, not pad has a slow attack and decay. Adjust the engine optimizer to your

taste.

Here are some other miscellaneous techniques and tricks that may be helpful in designing a

pad sound:

14.4 real time keytracking

You may ask, is there a possibility with this knob, for real-time manipulation? The short

answer is yes, this is how I did it (as a post to the A6 list) for one drone patch that I made:

So you have this nice drone with a good meaty sound in the bottom end. You use negative

keytracking in the filter to set it up where the top end floats and whispers above the drone. The way

I would perform with this patch (not demonstrated in the MP3) is to increase the filter keytracking

slowly up and down in standard ambient drone fashion. The net effect is that the low drone remains

unaffected, but the top end gets nice "filter sweeps". A pretty neat effect all things considering.
