Sorry your post didn't make it through the ether. At least this one
made it through.

Nice mod you've done and tidy work too.

Unison is a big goal. Especially when attempting to do portamento -
which is really what I want to do.

I'm not sure how the chorus is set up. I haven't looked at it very
closely but if it is a bucket brigade chip then there are probably
quite a few things that could be done. I have my hands full as it is
right now so I won't be poking around in the chorus any time soon.

Cheers,

Mike.
