The term "polyphony" (often as the adjective polyphonic) means "many sounds".

In linguistics, it is a symbol or letter (e.g. vowel) that can represent more than one sound.

In music, it is two or more independent parts sounded together (as in counterpoint).

As a key part of the development of electronically synthesized musical sound, it refers to the playing of several notes (frequencies) at the same time. Keyboard instruments such as the piano can play multiple notes simultaneously.
