WLP – Whole Lotta Pads
A massive collection of pads and synthetic sounds.
ByFrancesco Silvestri
The story
Whole Lotta Pads. And a few electric pianos.
I processed some synthesizers – pure subctractive synthesis and some FM, no samples allowed 😉 – with generous amounts of reverbs, delays, more huge reverbs and some distortion here and there.
Convolution is used with custom impulse responses for ambience or weird effects (blurring, reverse etc).
Each patch is presented in its basic form, then with variations: effects and multis for extra layering and combinations.
Enjoy.

If less is more, just think how much more more could be...
What a selection! There are some real gems in this package and it’s going to take a while to explore them all – possibly longer than I have left… Most composers probably think they already have enough synth pads to last them several lifetimes. When you hear WLP you almost instantly concede you can never have too many. Just your basic Kontakt interface but there are so many patches included in a whole lotta that it would be churlish to quibble about something merely cosmetic. I’m looking forward to experimenting with some of the others for upcoming projects. Thank you, Francesco!
A Piano Book Classic!
This is one of the classical PB libraries that's a must-download for me. it's a compendium of just about every pad sound you will ever need. Every sound is well recorded and edited. All are immediately playable. Clearly, lots of time and effort went into creating this library and the result is excellent and incredibly useful. Wonderful work here!
A BUNCH OF PADS
65 MULTIES, and 76 SINGLE PATCHES. And it's not only quantity. They are very good in terms of quality and variety. They are not dynamic though, and you shouldn't expect any GUI settings on such a large libary. If you find yourself wanting to tweak things out, better try to switch to another patch.
