Polyphony: multiple independent voices simultaneously. |
|||
Paraphony: multiple notes or voices but not true polyphony because the voices are not completely independent due to sharing some common element(s) such as just one filter shaping all voices together. |
|||
Static Chords: A solution, though somewhat reduced in function, to achieve a degree of pseudo-polypohony for those with no polyphonic control source is to use multiple oscillators tuned to different root notes to provide a 'static chord' - for example, three oscillators tuned to the root, minor third and perfect fifth will produce a minor chord, but these pitch intervals will remain fixed regardless of cv input, the chord only being transposed as the pitch cv is altered. |
