======================

wouldn't it be possible/feasible to get a four (or eight) oscillator 
detune in a similar way to playing a chord: just tell each of the four (or 
eight) oscillators to play a slightly different note...? instead of the 
different notes being semitone intervals apart, they can be small 
fractions of a semitone apart, ideally with a parameter to adjust the 
detune.

i suppose that sound could also be done by inserting a chorus effect 
between the oscillators and the filter, but then we're in the realm of a 
hardware mod.

i'm just trying to imagine a poly-800 in mono/portamento mode, with my 
hardware mods, and some way to route velocity to the filter cutoff and/or 
resonance...
