Long term reliability

2005-07-09 by K Lim

Hello all.
I'm considering getting the PEK in the near future.
I would be grateful if any long term users would
comment on their experience regarding the reliability
of any of the DSI Evolver models.
Are there any common faults or reliability issues with
the product?
How durable are the rotary encoders, has anyone had
any failures?
If someone has had faults how were
repairs/replacements dealt with, was the unit shipped
back to DSI/ did DSI send out replacement parts for
the user to undertake a fix.

I'm wondering if it may be worthwhile waiting for a
later batch of the keyboard to appear in case there
are any problems with the first production run of the
PEK. Were there any later fixes to the mono or poly
models after the first models had appeared?

I have noted some comments regarding the Evolver
becoming unresponsive to MIDI and requiring a factory
reset to remedy the situation. Has anyone experienced
this problem, is it common known issue?

Thanks for any comments.
