From this analysis, it is clear that the transmission speed is a characteristic of the teleprinter while the shift ( the difference between the tones representing mark and space ) is a characteristic of the modem.

In 1989, Terrie Lambert invented the Moonshine ( ceramic ) slide that produces a timbre in between that of brass and glass, and the Mudslide ( porcelain ) slide, which just as brass slides is quite heavy, producing richer, fuller and resonating tones with more harmonics.

In tonal languages, each syllable has an inherent pitch contour, and thus minimal pairs exist between syllables with the same segmental features but different tones.

Ambiguities tend to arise from either aesthetic considerations ( for example the view that only " pleasing " concords may be harmonious ) or from the point of view of musical texture ( distinguishing between " harmonic " ( simultaneously sounding pitches ) and " contrapuntal " ( successively sounding tones ).

The modulation method is 8ary Frequency Shift Keying or 8FSK, also sometimes called Multi Frequency Shift Keying MFSK, with eight orthogonal tones between 750 and 2500 Hz.

Normally, the transmitted audio alternates between two tones: one, the " mark ", represents a binary one ; the other, the " space ", represents a binary zero.

The modem would generate audio tones between 1200 and 2300 Hz from picture signals, and picture signals from received audio tones.

In practice, the best trade-off is between complexity 2 and 4, though higher settings are often useful when encoding non-speech sounds like DTMF tones, or if encoding is not in real-time.

At the time the Thai script was created, the language had three tones and a full set of contrasts between voiced and unvoiced consonants at the beginning of a syllable ( e. g. b d g l m n vs. p t k hl hm hn ).

The modern dial tone varies between countries, being a " buzz " of two interfering tones ( 350 Hz and 440 Hz, as defined in the Precise Tone Plan ) in the North American Numbering Plan ( most of North America ), and a constant single tone ( 425 Hz ) in most of Europe.

Other variants may have non-functioning black keys between every key ( which would make it appear to play the quarter tones between E / F and B / C ), but they either do not play, play the same notes as an adjacent white key, or play a special sound effect.

Most of these languages passed through an earlier stage with three tones on most syllables ( but no tonal distinctions on checked syllables ending in a stop consonant ), which was followed by a tone split where the distinction between voiced and voiceless consonants disappeared but in compensation the number of tones doubled.

DTMF tones are also used by some cable television networks and radio networks to signal the local cable company / network station to insert a local advertisement or station identification.

DTMF tones are sometimes used in caller ID systems to transfer the caller ID information, however in the USA only Bell 202 modulated FSK signaling is used to transfer the data.

This means that two subsequent DTMF tones are enough to transfer whole byte of data or 8-bit ASCII character.

The multiple tones are the reason for calling the system multifrequency.

These tones are then decoded by the switching center to determine which key was pressed.

As stated above, however, opinions continue to diverge, so that one recent critic might dismiss the debates in Euripides's plays as " self-indulgent digression for the sake of rhetorical display " and another springs to the poet's defence in terms such as: " His plays are remarkable for their range of tones and the gleeful inventiveness, which morose critics call cynical artificiality, of their construction.
