Cloud is a polyphonic pad synth for the Organelle with up to 32 voices and 13 presets, from warm analog pads and string sections to choirs, organ and huge shimmering spaces.
FEATURES
– 13 presets: Warm Saws, Velvet, Soft Halo, Silk Strings, Air Choir, Dark Drone, 80s Poly, Warm Brass, Slow Swell, Wood Flutes, Church Organ, Big Sky, Init
– 2 oscillators, each with classic band-limited waves (sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse) or real multi-sampled instruments (strings, brass, winds, pipe organ, reed – a recording every 3 semitones), sub oscillator and noise
– Osc 2 pitch (-12 to +24 semitones) and detune
– Resonant 24 dB low pass with its own ADSR and velocity, plus a 12 dB low cut
– Amp ADSR, LFO with vibrato and tremolo (speed, fade-in), analog drift
– 16, 24 or 32 voices, unison (2-4 detuned voices per note), voices spread across the stereo field
– One-knob TONE (darker / brighter), gentle drive, ensemble chorus, stereo width
– Big stereo reverb: room, hall, plate or cathedral, with size, pre-delay, color and octave-up shimmer
– Changing presets, unison or polyphony never cuts the notes you hold
– PRESET* shows when you have changed the sound
CONTROLS
– Encoder: turn = change page, press = Organelle menu, AUX + press = reset
– AUX: Hold (latch the chord), or Sustain, Freeze, Octave up / down
– Footswitch or MIDI sustain pedal: sustain (or any AUX function)
– Mod wheel and expression pedal: assignable (cutoff, vibrato, shimmer, reverb, volume…); pitch bend that always comes back in tune
– LED: blue = Hold, green = sustain, cyan = Freeze, purple = octave

32 voices with seamless preset switching that doesn’t cut held notes on the Organelle is straight-up insane, especially running on pure vanilla Pd with no externals! That octave-up shimmer reverb plus the AUX latch/freeze options make this patch an absolute ambient machine. Massive props for putting knob 4 back on volume in v1.0.5—that’s lowkey a lifesaver when you’re tweaking live on stage. https://unoonline.io
