So that pretty much means that with your xtk....
1) you've never set a sound to mono mode and played or sequenced  legato 
lines.
2) you've never used it as a master keyboard, to control another MIDI 
device with aftertouch enabled
3) you've never run the xtk in multi mode with midi in controlling the 
sounds on multiple channels, and keyboard set to control another sound 
(in another slot) set to channel one.

I know this, because I've owned an XTk for many years now, and for a 
while we tried using it as our main synth(alongside a few other synths,  
with an MPC as the sequencer!) for playing live.... and we went through 
all sorts of hell for what should have been a very simple thing to ask 
of a moderm multitimbral synth. And waldorf knew about these bugs for 
YEARS before they shut down. They always promised to fix the problems 
SOON.... but always, nothing....

So, yeah.... if you think the PEK has more problems than other 
manufacturers gear, and you think that DSI is not as good at support for 
customers as waldorf was, well you just plain haven't been paying 
attention to the gear you own.
