Nightfox Audio Pad City

Unlock a vast sonic landscape of evolving, analog-textured pads with Nightfox Audio Pad City. This expansive library offers 12 richly layered pad instruments, each meticulously crafted from real sources like guitars, cellos, pianos and synthesizers—then processed through outboard gear for a lush, organic tone. You'll be inspired by the complex, mutating textures that gradually unfold and transform as each note sustains.

Metamorphic Textures From Real Instrumental Sources

Within Pad City, you'll discover pad sounds derived from an array of organic sources that have been heavily processed through analog effects like reverbs, delays, modulation and overdrive circuits. The resulting tones offer a depth and complexity that extends far beyond simple oscillators and LFOs. As you play and hold the pads, their timbre subtly evolves and morphs in an organic, unpredictable fashion—just like real acoustic instruments ringing out in a unique performance space.

Infinite Customization With Deep Synthesis Controls

While the raw pad samples exude an authentic, analog warmth, Pad City also provides an extensive synthesis engine for infinite sound sculpting. You can tweak the envelopes with precise attack, hold, decay, sustain and release controls. Dial in the perfect filter type, resonance amount and envelope modulation. Then further refine the character with five simultaneous per-instrument effects—panning, width, input delay, EQ and compression.

Unleash Evolving Textures With the Arpeggiator

To inject even more movement and rhythmic complexity, Pad City's arpeggiator proves immensely powerful. With adjustable rate, octave range, swing and step size parameters, you can generate evocative, flowing arpeggios that elevate your compositions. Add latch and hold functionality to sustain the arpeggios indefinitely or route MIDI through for creative real-time performances. Combined with the morphing pad samples, these arpeggio patterns cast an entrancing, ever-shifting ambience.

Infinite Hybrid Tones and Full Production Control

Take your exploration even further by blending and layering Pad City's unique instruments into limitless hybrid combinations. With global pitch and pan controls, you can dial in the perfect space for each element. Use the pads as atmospheric backdrops or driving rhythmic voices. Whether adding evolving texture, lush sustained tones or arpeggiated rhythms, Pad City's production-ready versatility will inspire your songwriting and scoring.
