	 *          one of the other types of synths, allowing any of the 
	 *          monophonic synthesizers to be polyphonic.

	 *  @extends {Tone.Instrument}
	 *  @param {number|Object} [polyphony=4] The number of voices to create
	 *  @param {function} [voice=Tone.MonoSynth] The constructor of the voices
	 *                                            uses Tone.MonoSynth by default. 
	 *  @example
	 * //a polysynth composed of 6 Voices of MonoSynth
	 * var synth = new Tone.PolySynth(6, Tone.MonoSynth).toMaster();
	 * //set the attributes using the set interface
	 * synth.set("detune", -1200);
