'''Polyphony''', from the [[Greek]]: “''many-sounding''”, commonly refers to music where two or more strands are played or sung simultaneously (as opposed to “monophonic”: “''single-sounding''"). The parts of the music move independently of each other, but still remain as an harmonic whole.
With electronic synthesisers polyphony refers to the ability to play more than a single [[note (music)|note]] simultaneously.
