Remaking the pad synth from the 2017 song "Crawl Outta Love" by Illenium can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Crawl Outta Love" pad patch and play this iconic sound on most hardware or software subtractive synthesizers (Serum, Vital, Pigments, Prophet, Korg, Moog, etc). We've included the preset download directly for your convenience, but we strongly recommend you use our programming tutorial to recreate it yourself.
Original Audio
Illenium’s 2017 track “Crawl Outta Love” (feat. Annika Wells) employs a supersaw pad to create expansive, emotional chord progressions that anchor the song’s melancholic atmosphere. This sound features rapidly modulated wall of detuned saws and white noise to create an epicly large sound.

Synth Patch Programming Recipe
Getting Started
- Start by initializing your synthesizer to a plain saw with no filter, modulation or effects. For soft synths use the "init"/"default" preset or the the button to reset all parameters to their default factory values.
- No two synths are exactly alike, so treat the values below as approximate, and use your ear.
- Percentage values (e.g. 50%) represent the relative position of a knob or slider within its full range. The full range of each parameter may differ from synth to synth, so use your ear.
Note: the patch settings may slightly differ in the Syntorial challenge.
