Does alchemy have unison functionality in any of the sample modes? Or is the answer to simply load up the sample into each of the sources and detune / pan them there? I thought alchemy could do unison for samples but perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me. Thank you

Hi padillac!

There's no unison mode in Sampler, Granular, Additive or Spectral synthesis modes, but as you mention it's fairly easy to detune/pan multiple sources to get up to four sounds in unison.

However, when in VA synthesis mode you have an NOsc parameter that lets you dial in anywhere between 1 and 600 simultaneous voices

Don't forget about Alchemy's two Modulation FX as well, since cascading these can result in some very thick sounds even from a single source

Hope this helps!
