The story
I recorded the sound of squeezing air from a balloon, (7 notes of a major scale). Yes, you can use autotune just about anything! I time stretched some of the notes, and also processed with granular fx, filtering, and an Eventide Blackhole Verb. Its basically a simple, organic pad that strangely has a kind of lo-fi symphonic quality . Any orchestras need a 1st chair balloonist?

Wow
All of this from a few balloons. It's just crazy. Simple as it is, it delivers an amazing amount of sound possibilities. Love it.
Another awesome pad!
Amazed with the beautiful texture of the pad. Very slow attacks can be used to create my healing music, thank you :
Randomized awesomeness!
This is a wonderful pad-like instrument with lots of character and one dinstinct characteristic that I liked: You never know where it's going to come from! The panning is very random, bound to happen on each note press individually, which creates a very unique ambient soundscape that you never get bored of.
The sound also kind of changes randomly a bit. Sometimes it i almost sounds like a textured string instrument, some other times like a very mellow woodwind.
If this had a proper GUI and some controls to play with, this would be absolutely perfect. Still, it's a very interesting patch and I recommend it to everyone!
Beautiful, eerie, lively, blends well with orchestra
Beautiful sound, great idea. This blends nicely with smooth, orchestral colors and icelandic kind of sounds.

As the name suggests, this library has a symphonic sound. Its not quite orchestral though and more resembles some kind of synth or guitar pad. I have no complaints. Its simple but really beautiful. Especially in the mid range it has a really subdued and emotional sound. The natural swelling is great too. Im definatly going to use this in some of my upcoming post rock stuff
