I would usually use a sqaure saw in a 3 osc in either the heis or pulv but i use the heis. Anyway, you should add flanger, detune and phaser. The square vol should be at half for the waves and you should put detune by -40 and lower down flanger and phaser speed by 0. Then, make chords of 7th. If you have problem with that, you should count on the piano tabs and count by 0. Ex: A2# 0-4-7 : Major (i think) and 0-3-7 (minor). That's what i do for my pads. Try experimenting with it!

Check out the pad presets as a starting point.

I usually use the heis with many different wave forms and add chorus (speed 1.00%), reverb, and phaser (speed usually low but not 0%).

You can use mid attack, a little bit of decay, mid sustain and long release, detune (on a heissen with 2 or 4 voices is good) using a filtered sawwave and long room reverb, you can add an LFO too, not too powerful, like in 30 or 40%, I can help u if u want :)
