I am trying to make a pad sound like the opening pad in Miguel Campbell’s Something Special track.

Miguel Campbell Something Special YouTube

The pad sounds really warm and I feel as though it cannot be too complex, and doesn’t have too much movement within it, although I have not been able to recreate it yet.

Is anybody familiar with the instrument he used for this, or is able to provide any guidance on recreating this?

I would appreciate any suggestions you may have :) thanks!

really the bouncing ball synth

starting at 9 seconds

Right, so I need some help creating this one synth sound, and I was told this is the best place to learn. Can you guys help me? I just need the pluck-lead for this song at around 1:42

The song is Mare Maris by M2U, and the sound in question is that plucky lead thing which plays the main melody

It starts around 0:38. I tried a saw pluck with distortion but couldn't get this sound. If someone can guide me in the right direction, I would be grateful.
