monophonic

It sounds like there are multiple synths though -- isn't the monotron monophonic?

'A Funneled Stone' is a pure modular synth release, tracked the old-shool, 1970's way: one monophonic line at a time.

But yes, in practice, for small adjustments of a monophonic sample like a voice, modern algorithms sound really good.

* They did monophonic synths only besides the Polymoog.

Early music was monophonic, but that limitation was overcome by the 12th century I think.

There are songs I play where I wish so hard that I had polyphonic aftertouch on my keyboard, but alas, it has monophonic aftertouch only.

When I only had simple monophonic synthesizers, the results were much better than with the nearly unlimited sounds at my disposal now.

The KievII page has two demos, one a monophonic bassline synthesizer controlled by a step sequencer and another a real-time pitchshifter and low-pass filter effect.

There have been plenty of phones that supported monophonic or mildly polyphonic ringtones without supporting full PCM, and plenty more that supported PCM samples but have limited space, kind of like old .MOD files.

Granted most Indian classical music historically has been monophonic and the compositions focussed on the melody.

Pressure sensitivity on a musical keyboard is known as "aftertouch" and is generally implemented in a "monophonic" way, the effect of pressure on any key is applied to all the currently depressed keys.

Ack, I got so frustrated at the beginning of the paragraph I didn't notice the author was making up his own definitions of monotonic and polytonic, and instead assumed he meant monophonic and polyphonic.
