Dear folks,
I simply do not succeed to get a deep growling pad sound that I can also use for chords (with simple 1-3-voicings) without getting bass mud.
The preset "Hyper Stereo Pad" playing a melody between E2 (82,41 Hz) and E3 (164,81 Hz) with a Cutoff at 959 and Drive at 20 (and no FX) is pretty much the sound I am looking for.
The problem: playing the melody higher goes along with a loss of depth and growl, but keeping it that low does not work with an additional voice underneath playing thirds/sixths without getting bass mud.
No wonder for my piano teacher always told me: Lower than C3 (131 Hz) only bass notes!
How would you solve the problem?
Is it possible at all to make Icarus produce a sound that is both dark and growling and still transparent enough for 1-3-voicings?
( By reducing the "overtone chord" the "Hyper Stereo Pad"-Preset produces - or by somehow adding darkness and growl so that it works and octave higher? )
Regards,
Heiner
