Padshop
Padshop 2 is a sophisticated granular and spectral synthesizer. This instrument allows you to create complex sounds that can drastically evolve over time.
Synth Page
On the Synth page, you can find the parameters for the oscillators, the envelopes, the LFOs, the modulation matrix, and the step modulator.
Oscillator Section
In this section, you can select the oscillator type that you want to use and make settings for the oscillator.
Spectral Oscillator
The spectral oscillator allows you to load the sample that you want to use, define the sample range and the loop range, and set up the oscillator sound to your liking.
Level Settings
The settings on the right of the waveform display allow you to make settings for the playback level and the channel width.

Level Settings

The settings on the right of the waveform display allow you to make settings for the playback level and the channel width.

Root Key: The root key determines the original pitch of the sample, that is, the key on which the sample is played without being transposed.
Gain: Allows you to automatically adjust the level of quieter sample parts. Note that by raising the gain, you can lose the dynamics of the sample.
Level: Adjusts the overall level of the spectral oscillator. When you increase the number of play markers, it might become necessary to lower the level. When you play back a very quiet portion of a sample, you can use this control to raise the level.
Width: Narrows the stereo width of the oscillator. At a setting of 0%, the output of the oscillator is mono.
