  Don't take Ravi too seriously, he's a lawyer (AND a New Yorker!), they 
  make a living (AND a past-time) by being offended :)

  Sorry I offened you again. 

  Please lighten up; don't be offended.  Forgive this old-timer for 
  trying to get caught up with new uses for old terminology.

  I can remember when the first polyphonic Moog came out (early '70s). 
  A music store salesman tried to tell me monophonic meant you can play 
  more than one note at a time and polyphonic meant you can play only 
  one note at a time.

  I still think he had it backwards.

  Of course, the 1969-1970 generation Moog could have multiple notes 
  sounded simultaneously but only one key at a time on the keyboard 
  could trigger the complex sound.  Back then it was called monophonic.

  Yet, when I sent the output of 2 different envelope generator 
  controlled VCAs through two trunk lines into a two track tape 
  recorder, I had stereo. I suppose it could be called 2 voice non-
  polyphonic stereo.  ;-)

  And to think, 33 years later each E-Mu layer (that is, each 
  monophonic voice of which my Command Station has 128) has at least a 
  billion times the functionality and complexity of the Moog.  Phew!
