Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hello all.  I'm very close to purchasing the MEK and need to make absolute sure that I can 
do #s 1 & 4 below:

1 being - that I can play softsynths and other outboard synths via MIDI POLYphonically 
from the MEK and
4 being - that I can later purchase a rack PE and then have a 5 voice synth that I can play 
from my MEK.

I'm sorry for the duplication here of Stefan's answer below but I need to make absolute 
sure before I drop the $$ on the MEK as it will be my main playing synth for a little while.

thanks!
Bryan
