In reference to the "pad" sounds a synthesizer can make:

What is a pad sound?

What are pad sounds used for?

What is a pad sound composed of?

If I wanted to make my own pad sound, how would I go about it?

What pad sounds I have heard seem airy and go a long ways to imparting
atmosphere. I am guessing that there is a little bit of delay (a chorus
effect) and perhaps some further delay on top of that for echo effects. As
to what makes the basic pad sound, I can only surmise that you select two or
more instruments/voices and have them play harmony in whole notes or longer.
Some of the pad sounds I heard have orchestral qualities.

mediaOGRE,

Hi. I think you wanted to post your question in the General discussion forum. This is the General Music forum, an itallian manufacterer of musical instruments and equipment like Yamaha, Roland and Korg.

Well, you have a good question and it was already answered before in the General Discussion. Do a search there.
