Sinuous tone / Tone variety / Variable of a tone


Explanation:
"Sinuous tone", to je izraz za "Krivudavi", "vijugavi", ali i "zavijajući" ton. Termin "Tone variety" bi bio odgovarajući prevod za "promenljiv ton". Mogao bi da se upotrbi i izraz - "Sound variety". Ako je reč o "tonu promenljive vrednosti (jačine)", onda se koristi definitivno termin "Variable of a tone".

"Zavijajući ton sa pauzama" - to bi se moglo prevesti kao "Tone in form of a discrete variable", ili "Tone in form of a discrete signal"
