On a synthesizer, in theory, all of the notes can be played perfectly in tune. However, this could sound a bit sterile and unnatural. There are 100 cents in a semi-tone (or half step). When "detuning" is used, one or more of the notes in a chord or unison are played just slightly out of tune...maybe by 2 or 3 cents. This makes the chord sound more natural to our ears.
