Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I am completely frustrated with the PEK's MIDI implementation. I guess
it's not meant to do what I want. I want it to be both a synth and
controller for another MIDI module.

Here's my setup. I have a K2600XS as my master controller. It sends
program changes to my PEK and to a Roland XV-5080. Sometimes I setup
the PEK in Combo mode for internal sounds only and others to be a
controller for the XV-5080. PEK is setup globally on MIDI channel 14.
The XV-5080 on channel 16 for program changes and 13 for all MIDI
parts. I try setting the PEK combo (part 1) to channel 13 so that it
plays the XV-5080 sounds. Nope, that doesn't work. I have to set the
PEK part 1 to the same as the Global MIDI channel. And then match the
XV-5080. Half the time the PEK doesn't respond to program changes from
the K2600. What the hell is the deal. Worked great with my Korg Trinity.

Is anyone doing what I want it to do?
