Key Features
The Spitfire Audio Originals Cinematic Pads is a highly expressive virtual pad instrument, built from manipulated orchestral recordings into unique and cinematic synth tones. Ideal for composers and sound designers looking to create rich, immersive soundscapes with organic synth textures, this collection features 45 unique pads across 23 presets, offering a broad range of tonal options. Each preset is made up of three layers—Mellow, Bright, and Cinematic—which you can customise with the onboard faders to craft the perfect balance. The library also includes global controls for Attack, Release, Reverb, and Distortion, giving you full control over shaping the dynamics and feel of your pads. Whether you’re building tension or creating ethereal ambiences, Cinematic Pads provides the tools to achieve cinematic, widescreen textures.
Product Ref: 310705
Each preset in Cinematic Pads features three distinct signals—Mellow, Bright, and Cinematic—layered together for a full, balanced pad sound. The Mellow signal provides a warm, rounded tone, while the Bright signal cuts through with clarity and brightness. The Cinematic signal is enhanced with reverb and hardware effects, giving it a deep, expansive feel. You can use the faders to control the volume of each signal independently, allowing for endless combinations and sound customisation to suit any mood or scene.
Cinematic Pads includes four global controls—Attack, Release, Reverb, and Distortion—that give you detailed control over the response and texture of your pads. The Attack control adjusts the speed at which the sound fades in, perfect for creating either sharp, percussive hits or soft, swelling intros. Release determines how long the sound lingers after a key is released, ideal for shaping staccato or sustained notes. The onboard Reverb adds space and depth, while the Distortion control introduces a gritty, harmonic texture for added tension and presence.
The built-in Low-Pass Filter is a powerful tool for sculpting your sound, gradually removing high frequencies to create a warmer, more focused tone. This is especially useful when transitioning between different sections of a composition, allowing you to gently roll off sharpness or brightness. By softening the high end, you can create a smoother, fuller sound that blends seamlessly into your mix, making it an essential feature for cinematic pad design.
All four global controls can be easily assigned to MIDI CC faders, making Cinematic Pads highly flexible for live performances or real-time sound shaping. This allows you to perform smooth transitions, adjust the dynamics, or introduce effects like reverb and distortion on the fly, adding an extra layer of expressiveness to your compositions. Whether you’re using a MIDI controller or performing in a digital workspace, Cinematic Pads makes it easy to stay in control of your sound in real-time.
Originals is a collection of intuitive writing tools, meticulously recorded by Spitfire at renowned studios like AIR Studios, one of the most in-demand studios for producing blockbuster soundtracks. Designed to be user-friendly and streamlined, Originals offers a clean interface with sliders for controlling expression and dynamics, alongside a customizable digital mod wheel to fit any workflow. Each Originals library also includes a range of essential articulations, presets, and controls. For those looking to enhance their sound with Spitfire’s signature quality at an affordable price, Originals will become your go-to solution.
