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, fiche 1, Anglais, - paraphonic%20synthesizer

... synthesizers that can play only one note at a time are called "monophonic," versus "polyphonic" synthesizers that can play two or more notes at once. These are sometimes called "monosynths" or "polysynths" for short.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - monophonic%20synthesizer

An analog synthesizer generates its sound by electricity passing through capacitors, resisters and other electronic components. The electricity flows through continuously like water, and the sound it produces is a continuous wave. On a digital synthesizer the sound is constructed incrementally by stringing together hundreds of digitized samples or "snapshots" of a sound to simulate a waveform.  3, fiche 4, Anglais, - digital%20synthesizer

There are two basic types of synthesis: additive and subtractive. An additive synthesizer creates complex sounds by adding together individual components—often sine waves that determine the strength of each individual harmonic ... A subtractive synthesizer instead starts with a complex waveform containing many overtones ...  3, fiche 5, Anglais, - subtractive%20synthesizer

Unlike digital synthesizers, which use mathematical algorithms to create their sounds, analog synths generate sound through the use of oscillators, filters, and envelope generators. This creates a sound that is warm and rich, with a character that is difficult to replicate with digital synthesizers. Additionally, the use of analog circuits also leads to a natural distortion and unpredictable variations in sound, which can add depth and character to a track.  2, fiche 9, Anglais, - analog%20synthesizer
