You need to be careful with that on basslines. It might sound OK on your monitors but usually several voices will cause rumbling, particularly when they are not in sync/ phase (like you have two voices and one is 50% off).

That depends on what sound you want to create. If you want a polyphonic lead, that sounds really phat you want as many voices as you are layering midi notes. When you only layer up to two midi notes, you need two voices, when you layer up to 4 you want 4
voices etc.

Are we talking about max polyphony or unison voices? |

Ever heard of d'n'b & dubstep? 
But for tight kbbbk basslines it's really not a good plan to use unison detune or something like that I guess.

I did not write you could not do it, I wrote you had to be careful. I think you read what you wanted to read. |
