Re: [PolySix] Is it possible to get Prophet 5-like sounds out of the P6?

just wanted to say, i put my polysix through a boss stereo reverb delay pedal tonight and it's wonderful! just a touch of each coupled with the stereo effect makes a big difference, in my ears.

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.
