Build a Warm Pad from Init (Any Synth)
Design a warm, evolving pad using only a stock synth and stock effects.
Task Tips
Start from an init patch in your DAW’s stock synth.
Use 2 oscillators slightly detuned; add slow attack and long release.
Introduce gentle filter movement via LFO or envelope.
Add light chorus and reverb (stock effects only).
Play sustained triads and export 10–15s.

Review Criteria
Does the pad bloom smoothly, with soft transients and evolving width without harshness?
