Use Drift (Motion Effect) to create subtle timbre change, and use Mask (Harmony Effect) to detune different partials  by slowly increasing the Mask offset.

The rapid changes in the high frequency content is created by modulating the offset value of the Harmony effect "Mask" using an LFO.

Try turing around the value "Pulse to Square" & Brightness while playing to create a dynamic tone.

Silver Pad

The conservative scale of filter modulation keeps this heavily reverbed pad from sounding flat.

Subadamantine

The "Curve" sweep type gives a formant edge to the bass. Modulation of the oscillator morph, and the cutoff filters of both the oscillator and noise exciter, adds much life to a rather short sound.

Use auxiliary envelope to change brightness and motion envelope for each key trigger. At the very end, add high amount of chorus feedback to create quirky tone modulation.

The veiled effect is from the fast speed of a looped custom Motion Motif. The LFO-controlled Ring Modulator wet/dry value gives it an edge in the high-end which can cut through a mix.

The slow looping custom Motion Motif works in contrast to fast but limited modulation of the waveform Morph ratio.  This contrast is easily seen in the Motion Visualiser.

It's the "Drift" Motion Effect which gives this sound a life of its own.  The Ring Modulator adds some sci-fi low-end dissonance.

A modulated band-pass filter and Ring Modulator frequency makes a lush string sound, but the secret to the dissonant drone-like effect is the heavy feedback of the Chorus in Random Delay Time Modulation Mode.

Use the key velocity (how fast a key on your MIDI keyboard was struck) to modulate various parameters to make ever-changing sounds. Because we are unable to play keys using exactly the same strength, each note we play will sound unique. Make sure to play with a velocity sensitive keyboard (or apply a velocity randomizer).
