The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

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.

  >Good trick on the Ion is to layer a patch with itself. I replicated 
  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.
