Yes it is very thick in unison..... 12 oscillators thick....The reason I
first bought one was to use it as a hyper monosynth to replace my
destroyed Arp AXXE.....It was very fat if you didn't use the
aftertune,and if you used it with the mix 1 mix 2 outs, you didnt need a
chorus, just a hint of lfo on one channel would stir the bees up....
