I already recommended the A6 as the ultimate analogue pad machine, but for 
digi synths I agree the Wavestation is an extraordinary pad monster, I would 
also suggest the yamaha FS1R, which is another remarkable and unique digital 
(FM) design and has some pad sounds I've never heard on another synth

so many synths so little time!

It's been awhile since I played a Wavestation - I sold mine years ago, but somehow 'warm' doesn't seem like an adjective that you'd apply to it. I didn't like it at all - I thought it sounded very digital (in a bad way).
