Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Usually the PEK will be the first unit in a chain, means the keyboard will 
send midi control and audio to a chained rack, the rack mixes it with its 
own audio output and sends the audio (and the filtered midi data) further to 
the next chained unit or, if the chain is terminated here, to a mixing 
desk/amplifier/ whatever.

Downside is that only rack units can be used as voice expansions, means I 
can't realize my 24 voice Evolver -like originally planned by me- by 
chaining 6 Poly Evolver keyboards. It will have to be 1 keyboard and 5 racks 
;)

Stefan
