MULTITIMBRAL

Multitimbral means the maximum number of musical instrument sounds (such as piano, or violin sound) that can be played at one time.  The term multitimbral is often used, for example, for midi keyboards since electronic musicians are often very concerned how many musical instrument sounds can be played at once in a musical piece.

There is something of a catch to this specification.  Some sounds made by electronic keyboards may be a combination of two instrument sounds - and thus the number of Multitimbral possibilities does not always mean the number of distinct parts - it may mean fewer distinct parts.

If you have some instrument skills, particularly with a keyboard instrument such as piano, organ, accordion, or keyboard itself or similar, you can do multiple track recording and create you own band recording of perhaps 4 or 8 or 16 or more pieces. This book focuses on music theory on help for determining what some of those other band parts might play, such as strings, bass or other instruments.
