Re: [PolySix] Re: Disabling the Built-In Detuning

He knows :)

In the post he linked to:
"The result is that the detuning has been successfully disabled.  Now, when I switch to Unison mode, it sounds just like if you load up the Chord Memory function with 6 of the same notes."

  Don't forget that you can use Chord Memory to stack up up to six voices without them being detuned.
