A paraphonic synth can play multiple notes at a time, but only has one voice architecture—in other words, every played note shares the same VCA [voltage controlled amplifier] envelope. This means that you cannot play one note and then trigger a second note while the first note continues to ring out. If you play a second note then either the first note will trigger again, or it will simply stop/end. 2, record 1, English, - paraphonic%20synthesizer

At its core, NVCC is capital that has a bail-in feature such that a firm can be recapitalized without an injection of taxpayer funds if it reaches the point of non-viability. A "trigger event" converts all existing NVCC capital into common equity and instantaneously recapitalizes the institution. It's very important to note that NVCC features will only be triggered by the regulator at a time of extreme distress(i. e., looming default, no access to capital) such that a firm is no longer viable. 3, record 2, English, - non%2Dviability%20contingent%20capital
