Perhaps the first patch is a bass sound and you feel intuitively only one note should happen at once. What if you put it through a chorus pedal and now it plays in stereo? Is that still one voice? Is a voice a note? What if you’ve played a Moog Voyager? That synth only plays one note at a time. In this article on polyphony, I want to cover a few things. I want to define this nefariously nebulous word.

Then I’m going to show you how to polyphonize Primer and Massive. Let’s start by defining the word ‘polyphony’. In synth speak, that sound is called a voice. I didn’t describe polyphony well in the video. Think of the total number of choristers as your ‘max number of voices’. One person per voice just like in real life.Įach choir member can sing a different note. The essential meaning of ‘polyphony’ is ‘different notes’.

If you have 30 choristers but only three sing then they use just three voices. If you’re only going to play triads then why would you ever need more than three voices? Well, you might play some of the notes in a different register. Put a major triad ‘on top’ and another root an octave down and you get four total voices. With a keyboard, you usually only use 10 fingers maximum. That begs the question of why we would ever need 30 or even 64 voices. Music has a funny trait in that you never really need it. Given the choice between that and food the answer is clear. Music also likes to make frivolous demands of itself.

That’s partially where so many voices come into play. Let’s shrink our choir down to just four people. Our alto sings a higher root, and finally the soprano sings the third. Now lets change from a Imaj chord to a IV major. The third goes up a half step and the fifth goes up a whole step.

However, what if we want the two chords to play simultaneously.
