synth good for this ambient kind of shit

Not sure what you're looking for. It's multiple sounds and loads of reverb. I guess at this stage it is not very helpfull to suggest synths (especially without being specific about which presets or specific synth function/strongpoints) or talk sound design.

First try to be more specific about which sound or sounds or sound characteristics you like. A better (more specific) question will yield a better (more specific) answer.

You probably like sounds/pads drenched in washes of reverb? As heard "in the background"? Sounds that if they were the only ones in a track could get that track labeled as "ambient"?

If so, it's more about the creation/simulation of "space" (e.g. by using washes of long reverb) then the actual sound design/synth.

Especially reverbs of the "Shimmer" kind as "invented" by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois and widely broad to the world via their production work for U2. Basically it's a Reverb with a frequency shifter in the Reverb feedback path.

There aren't many free Shimmer Reverbs. But WOK has one: Glimmerverb

A very popular commercial one is Valhalla Shimmer as demonstrated in this video.

Beat was likely made by taking an Omnisphere preset, resampling it, then transposing it, and throwing Izotope Vinyl on it.

f**k, thats a good idea i didnt even think about. i think the key is to not overthink shit and just take presets, do some lazy work on them and throw out the track.

i TEND to overthink shit

off to do that now.

thanks y'all

It's a Ambient sub genre called "Crapbient". Everybody's bouncin' 2 dat shit deez dayz.

why would you call a good sounding synth that obviously millions of people enjoy crap?

You mean a synth sound, not a synth.

You're right, i made a spelling error there.
