Overview
"Fading City" contains 25 somber pad presets designed for Arturia CS 80 synth (based on the Yamaha CS-80) and Analog Lab V synthesizers. The collection moves within a noir sci-fi aesthetic, drawing inspiration from 80s and 90s sound design while maintaining a modern cinematic approach. The overall tone leans toward nostalgia and melancholy, with sounds that evolve across the frequency spectrum and provide both depth and clarity.
These presets explore a balance between rich atmospheric layers and more focused tonal elements, making them useful for building harmonic foundations or enhancing existing arrangements. Subtle modulation, evolving movement, and spatial depth are present throughout, offering a sense of distance, emotion, and progression.
"Fading City" works well for cinematic scoring, ambient compositions, and new age productions, especially in projects that require a reflective, slightly dark, and emotional tone.
Included Presets
- Dull Refractions: Evolving sci-fi pad with nostalgic undertones and gentle movement for added depth

- Blurred Motion: Bright and open pad suitable for calm passages and background layering
- Dim Passage: Soft tonal layer that blends nicely with orchestral elements and slow arrangements
