Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Rob,
Thank you for the info. I decided to buy the desktop model because it's
half price below the MEK, one voice seems to be powerful enough for now,
and I can get one right away without having to save up more money. Plus,
the matrix interface doesn't seem to bother too may people in the
reviews I've read. I've got one on order from Guitar Center ($450 with a
10% off voucher). If later I feel like one voice isn't enough I'll get
another, or maybe an Alesis A6 Andromeda for some diversity.

HI, I own a pek and There's two modes of operation: program and combo
mode. in combo mode you can independently control each voice. the pek
has the same voice architecture as evolver x's four and you can chain
multiple units either, mono or poly units for additional polyphony up to
16 voices if i'm not mistaken. When determining which unit to get, the
first two big questions that I'd ask myself is this: 1-Is this for
studio or live use and 2-do I prefer a menu or knob per function control
panel. If your doing, mostly studio work and don't mind menus heck, I'd
spring for the poly rack. It's more of a preference thing I guess. you
could achieve more cost effective polyphony by sticking with the racks
but, I feel that the keyboard versions are more intuitive to use when
everthing is laid out in front of you. If price is an issue and your
goal is a polyphonic synth and don't mind menus go with the poly rack.
For another hundred or hundred fifty bucks more than the mek you have
not one but, four voices and how sweet it is!!! Then, down the road you
can spring for the keyboard version which seamlessly works with your
poly rack without eating up all the channels on your mixer!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck-Bob
