Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Does the new PEK update have new patches?  If so, how can I load 
them and also save my current banks with my own custom tweaks?  I 
don't own any fancy PC interface.  I do have the Evolver CD-Rom that 
came with my PER, but have never used it.

I'm not well-versed in patch management on the PEK, so if someone 
can give me a step-by-step, that would be most helpful.

Also, please confirm that there is a new patch bank - how different 
are these from the ones loaded in my PEK???

Thanks,
Eric
