What do you notice if you take a monophonic sine wave on one oscillator,
and put it into unison mode with 2 voices, and hold down keys, testing
two voices at a time? I find there's between 5 and 20 seconds in the
cycle each test produces (the sound will drop out eventually) for any
pair of voices. I don't remember enough (although I could figure it
out) to calculte the difference in frequency, but I think that's
probably good enough, without a meter.
Cheers,
Chris
