Based on hearing your sound files, I would come to the same conclusion that it is some 
kind of hardware issue. I can't think of any setting in software under program mode that 
would make this occur. Perhaps one of the connections on that mono-evolver voice card 
came loose, or worse, got knocked. I would not be one to know what the heck is going on 
inside the PEK, but I do know that it's based on four mono-evolvers running off four 
separate evolver cards, so maybe you will only need to part with just the one, or Dave 
might have some other elegant solution... Sorry I could not help any more.
