The tutorials help you to get familiar with the functions and possibilities in Padshop. You can experiment with the different presets and try out the available samples.

Some common controls and concepts exist throughout the program. For example, presets can be used in several different sections and contexts, but their handling is always the same.

The plug-in functions section allows you to switch between the different pages and layers, apply global settings and functions, and obtain further information about a plug-in.

The section in the lower left of the window contains the keyboard and the wheel controls.

The Layer section in the lower right of the window allows you to mix the two layers.

On the Synth page, you can find the parameters for the oscillators, the envelopes, the LFOs, the modulation matrix, and the step modulator.

On the Arp page, you can find the arpeggio and phrase player of Padshop.

This page features an equalizer, a chorus or flanger modulation effect, and a delay effect for each layer. Furthermore, it contains the global reverb effect.

Padshop provides a predefined set of 8 quick controls that can be controlled directly from within your Steinberg DAW.

Almost all parameters in Padshop can be adjusted via MIDI controllers.
