Re: [Evolver] PEK Product

2007-04-07 by Dale

I was wondering ...
If Dave does not support this, then why is he at every NAMM with the PEKs, racks and most of the time in the booth listening to "god awful buttchecks synths" next to him all day? Surely he does not hate himself to do that? Then why the heck would he even bother to email me a few times for my stupid questions?
I don't know, I would not say he does not support and the synth is so bad it's not worth it.... The one year with the chicks from Body Glove a few down, well I guess that does not count. I think I would suffer to that noise all day ... ;-)
Also, never has Dave expressed to me or I seen, anything but professionalism exhibited ... he is one of the rare ones ...
If your encoders are bad, open the it up, get the part number and get some ... It all looks pretty standard stuff in there...
post the part number here and I will post back to you the link to get ... if you need it repaired, take to a local shop, unless your so far away that isn't possible... then maybe a PEK isn't what you need ... just me, if it's broke, you can bet I be under the hood when it out of warranty looking to repair ... I don't really expect that of everyone but at least a attempt to fix ...
Last and most important perhaps, what else can you buy today that sounds like a PEK? I would be interested to know.

Subject: SV: [Evolver] PEK Product

I’m very happy with my PEK and the support from Dave Smith
Instruments. I sent meybe three questions over the years and always got an answer back in a day. They have always been polite even when the answer where clearly written in the manual. J
One time I asked a guestion how to control a function via the sequencer and not trigger the notes. I got a reply with a expliantion how to do it form Mr Smith hemself! Dave has helpt me with some problem I had with me Prophet~5… That’s support!
Kind regards
Magnus

Dave Smith provides little to no support now for the PEK. I personally would not buy his product from here in out.
I own a PEK..it works 99.9 percent of the time...cept for 2 encoders by the display...
I'll going to sell my PEK once I get back to Md.
