Absynth by Native Instruments. Fantastic for pads. "Crystal"
is quite good too.

Really? There are a lot of great presets available for it...
no shame in using them for a bit, till you get used to the
program.

You'll find it quite hard to get (original) nice textured
pads if you can't make your own synth patches :-/

Do you have Reason? Malstrom is a tolerable substitute for
doing pads...

Yep, I agree Albino is good too. You might also like to try
Loung Lizard's EP-2, it's designed as a substitute for
suitcase pianos like the rhodes, etc. but you can get decent
pad sounds out of it (although not one that evolve over time
when you hold a note down for 16 like you could with
absynth).

i use fruity loops, so i can't use the plugins in reason...
although i think they are all great and user friendly !

exciton, voxsynth, A1 (comes with cubase) and alot of other
synths, just dl a bunch of them and try for yourself.
absynth and fm7 are quite complex to work with, the presets
are nice though (i feel too quilty to use them)

the same with fm7 and absynth :D

ceri - do you know some decent faq about absynth or
something ?? there's no way in discovering all functions for
myself...

besides - i'm a bit afraid od absynth because it crashed to
often on my pc... maybe someone could tell me where i can
get a more stable version ??

There's a hacked version of absynth 2 about that is pretty
unstable (when you use custom waveforms with it/try to
vocode), but absynth 1-1.5 are fine. You might also like
those more to begin with as they are a bit simpler.

I don't know of a good faq for absynth, the only advice I
can give is to look at the existing patches and see how
connecting/disconnecting certain bits changes the sound.
Also to consider it as a synth with fx (delay/reverb) tacked
on.
