I am not aware of any synth
that does not have a problem of some kind...
each one here, has it own bug list, quirk, work around or
something that should as written in the book/manual or just general
act like, problem ...
Support is always like beauty, it's in the eye of the
beholder.
Also noted, this is a cycle, each group I am in on
hardware or softsynths, the cycle of hate, I don't like this or that or general
discontent
occurs ... then we will give the other side till it's just
silly ... I only offer my experience .. PEK works for me ... Dave has never
impressed me
other than supportive and what bugs on the PEK hardware
wise there is, are not show stoppers here ....
I live with a ION and a Fusion too ... hum ... I learned
to deal with those things. How can a PEK get under my skin? Heck I even still
have 3 nano-synth that do not store patches changed and so on.. they even hang
up in some odd patch mode which you have to reset the synth with a midi in and
out, knobs in certain position and a power on to reset ... maybe I just tolerate
more ... many here will tell you, I was not very happy with the ION for a while
... after 3 of them, yea, 3 ..
I deal with what I got now ...
My band member deals with Waldorf and his other synths ...
I am sure he can provide some insight on those things .. but over all, it's
workable ...
oh well ... never will all be pleased ... there will some
always that has a problem of some kind .. all cool with me ... I read as many
posts on these things so I am not trying to do something that does not work or
will happen .. saves me much time and frustration ... in the mean time, I do
like reading the work arounds more ...
I hope I did not offend anyone with my posts ... just
expressing my experiences ... that was all ...
