Sometimes you have to save the best for last. In the last of the Sample Fuel libraries I have been tasked to review, Pad Motion expands on the offerings Sample Fuel gave us with Wave and Poly. Not only does it provide patches that utilize some of the wavetables and oscillating synths of the aforementioned products but it now also gives you both sampled sources from which to draw on and, to make it even more interesting a grain module to add granular synthesis as its own layer. To state the obvious, here, Pad Motion is just what the title describes: Pads with motion. Pads which provide a unique character perfect for anyone that is into cinematic scoring whether it be trailer music or hybrid-style orchestral arrangements.

To my delight, Pad Motion Layers has two views, a simple one as pictured, and an advanced one. I decided to work first with the simple view and I have to admit, the GUI looks straight forward, very clear and nothing here particularly phased me. The four layers in the middle are easy to see and you can swap out any of the neatly categorised 900 sample strong sample pool using a drop-down menu. So the sound design, or fun as I call it begins here! Above this are the high and low pass filter controls, with modulation and movement controls below. There is an XY control in the middle which a great feature for crossfading the layers and layers can easily be switched between sample or granular based at the touch of a button. So far so good. After maybe thirty minutes of tweaking, I was creating my own pads with unique sounds and motion. Coupled with my XY controller, I was having a ball. At this point, I would really urge you to check out the various demos from Sample Fuel so you can really hear exactly what this instrument is capable of. For cinematic and electronic scoring, this is a valuable composing tool which I can see will have a huge amount of utility. 2ff7e9595c
