I need a Airy Atmospheric ambient sound in Reaktor

Hi,
Can somone help me please? I am trying to create an Atmospheric Airy ambient sound, often found in trance/ambient music especially on some of the airy sounds created by 'Enigma'.Some times the sound has an atmospheric choir sound.
However, how can I create this sound using reaktor, is there a particular synth I need to use?

 

You might want to consider granular synths. they are not playable like a pad synth. but once you get comfortable with one like brinkmanns grainstates, its perfectly capable of getting those types of sounds, they are just a bitch to get used to. If you havent used one yet just post your questions about the synths here and and people will respond. Or even better you could run a pad synth through a grain delay. One that doesnt seem to default to the insane grainy pitch settings. The one i just posted in the user library last night might be ideal. Fairly simple interface. Its called "sync, sick, sink".

 

It is of course also perfectly possible to make a grain cloud synth that plays like a traditional sampler...

 

Airy sound

Thanks for the advise. I guess all I need now is a good sample to load into grainstate.

 

Yep, that's all you need.

 

If you want to go a more traditional route...
In the standard library for R3 and R4, there's some nice airy pad sounds in the Uranus synth, and Nanowave (though I'm not too crazy about the heavy wavetable sound you get from Nanowave presets). Greenmatrix should be able to give them to you if you're willing to program it - they really should have put more presets into that synth consider it's "premium" status and all. Carbon has a whole bunch of pads and other cool presets - which is a good thing cause it's pretty hard on the eyes (IMHO) so I can't deal with programming it . Lastly, my own "Normal2" in the User Lib - which could really benefit from an R4 upgrade but I'm too lazy - is another subtractive synth with a couple of decent pad presets. I think Wildebeast has some as well.
