Thanks for the response Hy Bound. I think your right, I took a listen once again and its just masked in a ton of reverb with maybe a few sine wave tones here and there as a separate instrument. Having a thorough listen it sounds like there are various other components in there aside from a main sound which could be a choir like you said. I'm still fairly new to Omnisphere, its got a Granular synth section so i'll do some research and begin breaking down the elements of the sound on the "Game Over" track to try and recreate it using Omnisphere because from some of the basic presets i've heard on Omnisphere, I could probably get it quite close. Once again, thanks for the help/advice

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately thats not the one. Found the one i'm on about on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUbloECbDmg If you have any ideas, that'd be great. Its the opening synth pad and the overall underlying synth under the piano part for the rest of the piece. Thanks once again!

Hey guys, I'm currently doing a music production degree and though I know a lot about synthesizers, i'm still trying to get my head around synth pads which have always been interesting to try and recreate. Now, here's my question, I took a listen to the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XIII and listened to the "Game Over" track in particular. I really like the opening and overlying texture of the (what I assume to be) synth pad in the track. So I was wondering how I could go about recreating it? I thought i'd be cool if I could use a similar ambient, dark toned part in my composition as its just the sort of sound i've been looking for. However, with this particular synth pad, i'm stuck on where to start in terms of recreating it. I have no idea what the base sound is and only a few ideas as to what has been done to craft this dark toned pad. Masashi Hamauzu did similar stuff in the Dirge of Cerberus soundtrack and i'd really like to find out how he achieves such rich pads. I'm still stuck, hence coming here for help and would be very appreciative of any advice anyone can offer. Btw, i'm using the following: Macbook Pro 17" (4GB Ram), Logic Studio 9, EWQLSO Gold, GPO, Omnisphere Thanks!
