In synthedit world, CK has successfully created a wonderful way to offer unison via MIDI, before it ever even reaches the voice archetecture.
And thought I don’t really know, I kind of get the feeling, NI Reaktor might be doing the same.
The idea is to use MIDI to increase the number of voices, and slightly detune each new one.
So as one midi note is pressed, maybe 3 or 5 are actually pressed at the same time, except each can be detuned a specific amount. Maybe also include slight delayes for each, in miliseconds.
I cant seem to figure out a way to do this in SM, but im hoping its possible.

It's certainly possible to multiply the MIDI... but then you still have to figure out how to get the OSC to apply detune differently to each voice.
The standard approach is to do it after the MIDI has been brought into the poly section. Just split the frequency values into several detuners and then then into separate oscillators and then add the resulting streams back together before going into the mono section.
If SynthMaker had a means of generating new poly stream threads without corresponding MIDI events it might be possible to avoid the duplication of the oscillator sections without resorting to multiplying note events but as far as I know this is not possible in the current implementation.
Search the forum for 'unison' and/or 'supersaw' for examples.

One could detune the four voices of a "SSE Block" like this:
I've inserted it between the frequency out of the Midi2Poly and the OSC input with a [0,1] range control in the spread input and I get a single voice (with slight detune). Playing a second note give very weird results.

What I meant was this:http://stashbox.org/110187/Uni.zip
Still not perfect. Additional notes have no release, can`t figure that out.

Ah!... I thought you had some magic that generated multiple poly threads from a single MIDI note event but you were showing it's possible to detune when you use the MIDI multiplier method.... which is still very cool and I'll have to figure out just how you've done it.

ah there is the thread.
i made some efforts with this and opened up a thread in the projects forum:
getting unison working - with osm
