Here is one of the padsynth instr used, the ghost bell.
A few quick notes:
When rendered for the video, I forgot to set the partial bandwidth parameter of the padsynth to p6 & it was fixed at 1.2 (now corrected). In the score higher pitches have a slightly larger bw value which I prefer because it adds some interesting movement. So the lower bell notes should sound a little more focused, the higher notes "smear" a bit.
The sr is 44100 & baseHz is 261.625565 which is how I originally coded it. The padsynth uses this freq in the oscil was well. When I tried some padsynth codes I'd written this way when played/rendered at sr 48000 they didn't sound the same. I suck at math but made an attempt and came up with a baseHz of 284.76252 for 48000. This can be quickly adjusted via comment/uncomment.
I'm going to post some comments/links to other padsynth stuff soon, I find it interesting and versatile and as such for me it took a little time to get a handle on. The manual ex is great but adjusting that to get usable pads and timbres was a challenge.
If there are other timbres from the piece anyone would like to know about, or questions regarding the code, feel free to ask; I didn't add many comments to it as it seems relatively straightforward.
And once again a big thanks to Michael Gogins for a great job porting this into Csound.
