The concept of päääänitekniikoksi is not limited to a single instrument or voice.

In some genres, the päääänitekniikoksi might be a straightforward, memorable melody, while in others, it could be a more complex intervallic or rhythmic pattern.

It is a key component in both Western classical music and various folk music traditions.
