Yes! Thank you!
Finally I understand now!
There are 6 osc, but they share common VCO and VCF controls. There 
are 6 oscillators because that's the only way to make TRUE polyphony 
where each pressed key triggers a sound with the programmed envelope.

stack them to get thicker sounds (unison mode all 6 voices stack, 
each slightly detuned, or chord mode)
