On the Arp page, you can find the arpeggio and phrase player of Padshop. On the Synth page, you can find the parameters for the oscillators, the envelopes, the LFOs, the modulation matrix, and the step modulator. The Layer section in the lower right of the window allows you to mix the two layers. The section in the lower left of the window contains the keyboard and the wheel controls. The plug-in functions section allows you to switch between the different pages and layers, apply global settings and functions, and obtain further information about a plug-in. For example, presets can be used in several different sections and contexts, but their handling is always the same. Some common controls and concepts exist throughout the program. You can experiment with the different presets and try out the available samples. The tutorials help you to get familiar with the functions and possibilities in Padshop. This instrument allows you to create complex sounds that can drastically evolve over time. Padshop 2 is a sophisticated granular and spectral synthesizer.
