Padshop 2

About Steinberg Padshop 2

Steinberg Padshop 2 is a granular and spectral synthesizer for producers, composers and sound designers creating evolving pads, atmospheric textures and experimental sounds.

• Granular and spectral oscillators offer two distinct approaches to transforming samples into synthesizer sounds.
• Two independent layers allow you to combine different sample sources and synthesis settings.
• Support for your own samples lets you build sounds from personal recordings.
• An arpeggiator, LFOs and a step modulator provide rhythmic movement and modulation.
• Layer effects include EQ, modulation and delay processing, complemented by a global reverb.

Use Padshop 2 to develop layered soundscapes and animated textures for music production and scoring.
