This sound combines warm, evolving timbres characteristic of early analog polysynths, likely utilizing sawtooth waves with subtle modulation for movement. The pad's texture suggests layered oscillators processed through gentle filtering, creating a shimmering effect typical of 1980s string machine emulations.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/visage-fade-to-grey-pad","recipe":"<div><h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: Poly<\/li><li>Voice Count: 6<\/li><\/ul><h3>Amp Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Attack: 0 ms<\/li><li>Sustain: 100%<\/li><li>Release: 20 ms<\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>Oscillator 1<ul><li>Waveform: Saw<\/li><li>Volume: 100%<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Unison<ul><li>Oscillators: All<\/li><li>Voice Count: 4<\/li><li>Detune Range: 6 Cents<\/li><li>Stereo Spread: 80%<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Reset All Oscillators Phase On Note Start: No<\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: Low Pass<\/li><li>Cutoff: 85%<\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO<\/h3><ul><li>Destination: Pitch<\/li><li>Waveform: Triangle<\/li><li>Amount: 56 Cents<\/li><li>Rate: 1\/8 Note<\/li><li>Voice Mode: Mono<\/li><\/ul><h3>Reverb<\/h3><ul><li>Mix: 30% Wet<\/li><li>Size: Medium<\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matrixsynth.com\/2021\/07\/how-to-synthesise-sounds-of-visage-fade.html\">Matrixsynth Tutorial: How to Synthesise the Sounds of Visage's \"Fade To Grey\"<\/a> (detailed walkthrough of the main pad\/string sound recreation)<\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/en\/15-songs-with-a-fat-synth-sound\/\">Thomann Blog: 15 Songs with a Fat Synth Sound<\/a> (mentions Polymoog's role in the track's distinctive brass sound, relevant to pad texture)<\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvraudio.com\/forum\/viewtopic.php?t=463670\">KVR Audio Forum: \"Fade to Grey\" Synth Discussion<\/a> (community analysis suggesting Polymoog\/Korg Monopoly for pad recreation with drive\/comb filter techniques)<\/li>\n<\/ul>","community_thread_url":"","patch_id":"","decade":"1980s","release_year":1980,"syntorial_essentials_lesson":"Reverb Size","syntorial_essentials_level":"15.
