How the heck does poly work???

I know, I know... it's a dumb question.. I don't have the modular manual at hand right now so I just wanted to do a quick check. Coming from a Nord Modular background.. this whole Poly thing is new to me. I mean, all I had to do was to change the "voice" number in Nord Modular..
(stop whining...)

Is there a specific way I have to route the signals? I'm sorry if I'm wasting your time.. or well, maybe I am. Anyway, I've got this fixed formant synth running in mono. I change the voice number.. still mono. Check out the resulting formant though... it's a killer vocoder modulator that's the average of all the vowels. Though, I took the analysis from me singing a middle C.. I still need to figure out how the formant changes when I go up into higher pitches. It's still too many overtones.. I want a strong f0 tone.. Right now it's still pretty much a robot, not "singing".

Anyway, I'll post the patch in the Modular Patches forum if you want to take a look at it. And it also happens to be my.. first modular post! hurraaaaay!

Yes, just look at one of the factory patches which come with Mod2 to see the use of Poly Out.

Can you poly out envelopes into a monophonic oscillation dest (like a filter)?

i.e. multiple notes adding to an envelope
