Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

But if you dont use the effects [have them turned off]  does it still get the conversion? So you can generally dupilicate all Prophet 08 sounds with the PEK?     otherwise , if the hardware and sound is basically the same, is there any other good reason that they didnt just use the same 8 voice base sound generator for BOTH models?   Im always wondering why the PEK is  limited to 4 voices when the cheaper Prophet has 8.  The company claims it was to keep the cost of the PEK down, but that argument seems weak when you limit the top end, "flagship" synth so much, when  other companies produce synths with 10/16/30/32/128 voices now.
