When you adjust a parameter on the PEK, I thought the sysex message[*]
sent over the polychain output was an absolute setting for that
parameter, which would force the rack to the same value as the keyboard
-- even if they started out with different values.

[*] "Program Parameter", p.53 in the PEK manual

[BTW, AFAIK the PEK uses encoders, not pots, so all knob edits should be
relative on the keyboard side, i.e., no jumping.]
