Pad Creator (OP-XY)

Pad Creator — A Layered Pad Toolkit for the OP–XY

By Colors In Space

Released: July 8, 2025

Welcome to Pad Creator — a deep, multi-part sound pack for the OP–XY, built for lush, evolving pads and textured ambient tones.

Crafted entirely with the OP–XY’s internal synth engines, this pack gives you a powerful toolkit for instant inspiration, modular layering, and lo-fi nostalgia. Whether you want performance-ready patches or a launchpad for your own sound design, Pad Creator gives you everything you need to explore warm atmospheres, drifting chords, and shimmering soundscapes.

⸻

🔹 PART 1 — 50 Layered Pad Projects

These are the full, ready-to-go projects — each one built with 3 layered synth presets across separate tracks.

• Made entirely with OP–XY’s internal engines (no samples)

• Each project offers a unique sonic flavor — from warm and mellow to hazy and cinematic

• Great for jamming, performing, or jumping straight into ambient sessions

⸻

🔹 PART 2 — 149 Individual Presets (Pd 1a–50c)*

All of the layered sounds from Part 1 are also saved as individual presets. Use them to:

• Build your own layered pad stacks from scratch

• Combine presets in new ways

• Explore over 550,000 possible combinations by selecting any 3 of the included layers

This modular approach makes Pad Creator more than just a preset pack — it’s a toolkit for generative ambient creation.

⸻

🔹 PART 3 — 50 Sampled Pads with Lo-fi Character

Each of the 50 projects has also been sampled from the main output, capturing the full 3-layered sound as a single, playable file.

These samples are enhanced with filtering and LFOs to create a subtle Boards of Canada–inspired lo-fi vibe — pitch drift, warble, and soft saturation baked right in.

• Perfect for quick performance or sample-based workflows

• Adds a nostalgic, dusty flavor to your pad palette

• Mapped and ready for use in the OP–XY’s sampler

⸻

✅ What’s Included

• 50 OP–XY project files (with 3-layer synth presets)

• 149 individual preset files (Pd 1a–50c)*

• 50 stereo samples of each full pad (pre-processed and mapped)

⸻

* One of the individual presets accidentally went missing during export — 149 are included instead of 150. The original sound is still present in the corresponding project file.

If you love ambient, lo-fi, cinematic, or nostalgic synth textures, Pad Creator gives you a rich set of tools to explore, tweak, and perform with — all inside the OP–XY.

To install Pad Creator on your OP–XY:

1. Place the Projects folder into your projects directory

2. Place the Pad Samples and Pd Synths folders into your presets directory

This will ensure the 50 projects, 149 individual synth presets, and 50 sampled pad presets all appear in the correct places inside your OP–XY.
