I feel it more along the lines of FM with the ION.
Did you note the poly lost when you layered up to 4 deep? I been sticking to 2 deep (at once)as that seemed to work best with my ears. ;-) More than that, I just layer in Sonar. Offset or shift key there.

an An1x cello patch, and with a little "analog drift" and panning, a
layer of 4 identical patches actually sound like 4 seperate
instruments. Shift one patch up an octave for more of an ensemble
effect. More subtle than unison mode. I replicated a few more An1x
patches on Ion but gave up; too many differences between the synths.
