PEK review in Sound On Sound

2006-02-17 by Jussi Piekkala

Have you noticed the extensive review of PEK in March 2006 issue of 
UK music gear magazine Sound On Sound?

I can not copy the entire article, but I hope the copyright will 
allow for a short citation of the pros and cons:

"Pros:
- Sounds great, with unique and innovative sounds.
- The knobular front panel makes the complex synth engine quite 
manageable, even easy to use!
- Looks fantastic in almost every respect.

Cons:
- External PSU (no matter how many times we see 'em, we still don't 
like 'em...).
- Four-voice polyphony does seem a bit limiting these days."

By the way, reviews of older models of Evolver are (AFIK) available 
for free at Sound On Sound:

(mono Evolver) and

(rack model).
