Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

There are two easy ways...  

One, put it in UNISON mode.  This will play all 6 voices at once, each slightly detuned.  This effectively makes it a 6-oscilator mono-synth.

Two is to put it in Chord Memory Mode.  Then you can play a chord and "save" that to memory.  Then each time you play a note, it plays that chord progression.  If you play a 2 note chord, then you can (AFAIK) play 3 notes at once.

Try UNISON mode first.  It's the easiest, and fattest.
