Poly 2 is supposed to be selected for patches that use polyphonic
portamento, glissando, glide or whatever its called in manual. I
don't remember exactly what its supposed to do for these patches but
I think it keeps track of the order of the notes in a chord and keeps
them in order as they glide together when a new chord is played. I
never found that it made a whole lot of difference and this feature
was actually circumvented and used for something else in the Angel
City Turbo upgrade. I'll try to look it up and post more info later
if anyone is interested.
