Re: [Evolver] new member asks: Clarification of MEK features needed...

2006-12-08 by Darin Wayne

Hi there,

You will need to update your tabletop to version 3.0 software if you 
wish to use the MEK for 2-voice polyphony.  You can use a lower 
version software version but the 2 voices won't sound identical. 

Once you have the same patches loaded in both units you can edit the 
tabletop using the MEK and everything works flawlessly.  

I was sorta hesitant to buy a MEK (my girlfriend asked, "so it's 
basically the same as your tabletop version but with knobs and keys" 
and yes while true, it is so much more.  It has really opened the 
instrument and having 2 voices for the pads/leads is HEAVEN. 

I recommend making the plunge.
