The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

As far as I can see:

1) Probably arbitary units (note that 32 is half of 64, a convenient 
fraction for 8 bit systems, and pan is also +/- 32)

2) Yes

3) I would imagine that the five (in mono) or 2 (in poly) are spread 
equally between 0 and the value that detune is set to.

Hope this helps.

Scott.
