During the 2000s, the major development in U. S. television was the growth of reality television, which proved to be an inexpensive and entertaining alternative to scripted prime time programming.

Since polyphonic texture was no longer the main focus of music ( excluding the development section ) but rather a single melodic line with accompaniment, there was greater emphasis on notating that line for dynamics and phrasing.

It was through him that the polyphonic style of the Netherlands became widely accepted in Germany, making possible the further development of contrapuntal music there.

It was capable of producing polyphonic sounds. Next development was Chamberlin Music Maker in late 1940s and Mellotron in early 1950s.

Once again he established close ties to the court of Burgundy, and continued to compose music for them ; in addition he received many visitors, including Busnois, Ockeghem, Tinctoris, and Loyset Compère, all of whom were decisive in the development of the polyphonic style of the next generation.

This was an unprecedented development in synagogal music, as until recently polyphonic music in the synagogue had been forbidden following the destruction of the Temple.

The polyphonic style of Palestrina may have been the culmination of a hundred years of development of the Franco-Netherlandish style, but it was one of many streams in the late 16th century, and significantly contrasts with the music of the Venetian school to the north, as well as the music being produced in France and England at the same time.

His research covers the temporal organization of music, musical scales, polyphonic techniques, music in social systems and the development of conceptual tools for the categorization, analysis and modeling of traditional music.

Humanistic studies continued under the powerful popes of the High Renaissance, Julius II and Leo X, as did the development of polyphonic music.

Although the polyphonic pieces were highly esteemed in the 17th and 18th centuries, today Froberger is chiefly remembered for his contribution to the development of the keyboard suite.

According to Paul Gambaccini's sleeve notes for Consequences, 10cc were unable to afford an orchestra for their early albums, so Creme and Godley imagined an effects unit that would enable a guitar to produce violin-like sounds ( this was some years before the introduction of the polyphonic synthesiser and long before the development of digital sampling ).

He was the most famous pupil of Heinrich Isaac, was music director to the court of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, and was an influential figure in the development of the Franco-Flemish polyphonic style in Germany.

Analog synthesizers that have no digital component and were built prior to MIDI's development can be retrofit with kits that convert MIDI messages into analog control voltages.

The group exhibited a steady development from an early raucous punk style ( 1977's Pink Flag ) to a more complex, structured sound involving increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers ( 1978's Chairs Missing and 1979's 154 ).

The demand for the analog synth sound led to the development of a variety of analog modeling synthesizers which emulate analog VCOs and VCFs using samples, software, or specialized digital circuitry, and the construction of new analog keyboard synths such as the Alesis Andromeda, Prophet ' 08 and Little Phatty, as well as some modular units.

Since the late 1990s, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of analog synthesizers spurred on by physical standardization practices, an increase in ' retro ' gear and interest, decreased production costs and increased electronic reliability and stability, the rediscovered ability of modules to control things other than sound, and a generally heightened education through the development of virtual synthesis systems such as MAX / MSP and Pd.

By the late 1990s, the huge increases in computer processor speed permitted the widespread development of software synthesizers and software samplers.
