[A6] MIX Mode --- was (SoundDiver and the a6

[Jeff Laity]

I finally found that program. I forgot there even was a Preset bank ;)

If I turn off the following channel in the mix the program uses unison 
and sounds thicker. So If I put Padmongous on Channel 1, and some other 
program on channel 2, you don't get the unison mode thickness on ch 1. 
But if I turn off channel 2 (press soft button 2 until it stops 
flashing) the unison effect works on ch 1.

There, now you don't have to drop leaflets all over Alesis to fix the 
software. :)
