You have it slightly wrong. I am saying that
sequencing from one wave to another via the digital oscillators is not a smooth
wavetable sweep like the PPGs and the Waldorfs do: Mainly because it is not
designed to do wavetable synthesis. The passing of the signal through analog
filters has nothing to do with this.
I think you really need to spend some time learning
about wavetable synthesis from a site dedicated to waldorf synths. Once you
understand what they are doing, you will realize that the PEK is not that kind
of synth.

The PEK, in regard to its digital oscillators (it has two analog oscillators as well) is better termed digital through analog filters, rather than "analogue through digital signal" as you say.For PPG style sounds, check out Waldorf's Wave, Microwave, Microwave II, Microwave XT and Microwave XTk. Out of those, only the Wave and Microwave have analog filters, but the digital filters on the II, XT and XTk are really, really good.
If I understand you, the PEK's digital through analogue filter sound is not as smooth as PPG? Because of a lack of sweeping?Also, does the Wave/Microwave get closer to the PPG sound than the II/XT/XTk?
