Chords in Dimension Pro

I have Sonar 8.5 with the latest update and Dimension Pro 64 with the latest update.  I am trying to get Dimension Pro to play chords but all it will do is play the lowest note in the chord.  I am using the Saw Lead patch and i want it to play cHords.  Is there any way to get Dimension Pro to play chords with this patch.
 
Thanks.

    depends on the patch, maybe it's a mono synth and programmed to play one note ? when you play another after it glides ? if so then it's set up that way

    can't you just do 3 instances of it ? as well the patch might be designed like a monosynth was

    you might be able to change the polyphony in the sfz file for it or DP itself

    clue: if it has LEAD in the name it is most likely a monophonic program...(often bright, peircing, and electronic sounding for those big rock show solos!)

    It is a Lead patch so it must be a monophonic patch.

    This might be superfluous but in the main box there's an option called Polyphony. This is the number of voices you can have. Set it to more than one.
