British sound designer and award-winning independent film composer Tom Wolfe has a knack for creating beautiful cinematic presets. With a considerable amount of sound packs for popular software synths such as Omnisphere, Pigments and Diva under his belt, Tom has repeatedly delivered lovely atmospheric soundscapes, gorgeous pads, and other cinematic-style sounds.
His latest sound pack contains a collection of 50 ambient pads for u-he’s Diva, one of my all-time favorite softsynths.
Experience serenity with Ambient Pads for U-he Diva, featuring 50 beautifully delicate presets that cascade, swell and float in a pool of gorgeous atmospheric ambience. Whether you’re a media composer or electronic producer of any genre, you’ll find a toolkit full of instant ambient inspiration. Just pick a preset, choose a chord sequence and let the atmosphere flow.
So what do I think?
Pads come in a wide variety, but with Tom’s Ambient Pads collection you get exactly what’s on the tin. Gentle, tranquil, moving ambient pads. When browsing the presets, the first one already grabbed me immediately.
A focused pack like this one will have some similar sounding presets, but there’s actually a great range of timbres and textures found among these 50 patches. The overall tone is soft, delicate and emotive. Just how I like it!
Have a listen to Tom’s walkthrough video below, in which he demonstrates most of the presets. And if you like what you’re hearing, make sure to head on over to Tom Wolfe’s store and pick up Ambient Pads for the intro price of $14.99 USD (expires March 4th).
