duophony

I know it's archaic by some standards, but I've had the guts of an old 
Paia CV keyboard controller laying around for a while and have finally 
put a circuit together (EFM KBD2E board) to put it to use.  It's working 
good and I've been hacking a second board to add douphonic capability.

I have the choice know of setting the second voice to double the first 
if only one note is pressed or to remain silent.  So, if one note is 
pressed it, either one VCO in a typical patch or both VCOs play note 1 
until a second note is pressed, when the second vco would switch to the 
second note.

Any opinions on either configuration?

Thanks.

Both configurations are useful. If I could only choose one, I'd 
choose the former (double the first if only one note is pressed) 
because it will retain a more constant volume with both voices 
playing in unison, and single note runs will be fatter with both 
voices playing in unison.

I agree.  If I could make it switchable, I would because sometimes you might
want the two voices to be something completely different.  Maybe a bass line
and a lead line for example.
