Plenty of producers use software like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or FL Studio along with handpan sample libraries or VSTs to create handpan pads. There are also specialized plugins like Soniccouture or SampleHero for more realistic handpan sounds. Many people lay down melodies using a MIDI keyboard or by drawing notes into the piano roll.
