That's true, but with practice you can get a tracker to make sounds you can't make as easily in a synth. Think about things that would require envelopes with more than four points, for example.

its not that Im not wanting to try, just new and unfamiliar territory

hell sit me in front of a key synth and I could come up with a hundred different sounds, but these trackers aren't quite the same

Use volume commands/envelopes, if you double notes with detuned pitches and mess with pulse widths while the notes play you'll get more life to the sound. Practice on a virtual synth if you don't want to try a tracker yet.

not asking you to do that, but thanks for the help cause it sounds better than what I was getting.

Im pretty new to the trackers, but Ive messed with creating patches on some keyboard synths but the lowbit technology adds a new dimension, or challenge especially because Im unfamiliar with the interface

Well, I pretty much told you the same. Or assumed you'd at least do this. . .
like I said, detune one or both of them. Make both waveforms different. Only a little variation in the tables: on each use different W commands on the 5th and 6th intervals. Make one channel start the chord 2 steps after the other channel.
And yeah like I said E commands, man.

I don't feel like drawing up a patch, sorry.

That'll work <):') Just experiment until you like what you hear. Hybrid set-ups are awesome.

If you had a phaser and a breakdown section, that'd turn out good. Just light phaser though. Or flanger. Or chorus pedal. Any would help bring out that type of effect.

Everything I said before would apply but that pad sound is impossible to replicate in lsdj. The ideas I gave you could make an interesting sounding chord lead but not a pad by typical characteristics of a warm pad.

You could sample a pad. It's what I'd do. For reference you could see how well sampling a piano turned out in my song Ellipse (on my soundcloud). It's a little work though.
