Dedicate a separate Swell speaker pair for celeste & supplemental stops, "supplemental" would be those you feel would benefit from a separate channel rather than placed in the mix of the 6. The idea here is the celeste and its unison are always in separate speakers and the undulation happens in the air and not in the speaker drivers. From my experimentation, this design was an immediate, noticeable enhancement. The clarity and warmth really seemed to take hold.

It is my understanding that HW already forces celestes into other speakers to allow the mix to happen more naturally. I suppose the real benefit would only come in that the speakers driving the celeste ranks wouldn't also be producing other sounds at the same time (and perhaps a spatial difference as well). Regardless, I do not think that the normal algorithms ever have a pitch and its corresponding celeste coming out of the same speaker.
