warm analog synth chord progression, 90 bpm, 4 bars, key Am

About this sample

This warm analog synth chord progression spans 4 bars at 90 BPM in A minor, featuring chords Am7, Fmaj7, Cmaj7, and Gsus4. Each chord is built from softly detuned supersaw voices with five detuned oscillators per note, creating a wide stereo image. A mono sine sub provides warmth, filtered between 28 Hz and 180 Hz for clarity. Movement is added by a dynamic filter sweep with cutoff ranging from 700 to 2500 Hz controlled by an ADSR envelope, along with amplitude shaping and subtle chorus modulation. Tape-like saturation and gentle fades complete the smooth, lush texture.

Suitable for chillwave, lo-fi, or downtempo productions at moderate tempos, this progression works well as a harmonic bed or pad layer. It benefits from gentle compression or sidechain effects to sit well in a mix without overpowering vocals or leads. Avoid excessive high-frequency boosting to preserve its warm, soft character.
