Well some pads can fall under that definition, I think that the general
definition
would be more of a sound that has long attack and decay times, and a
generally,
washed or reverberated sound. Like an analogue string sound like with the
effect
level at over 50% or so. Alot of pads also contain a certain degree of a
atonal
sound in them.....for instance alot of the film scorish pads that are in
alot of
the newer digital synths(jv2080, wavestation, etc.) Where the term came from
?
hmmm....have to get back to you on that one
