Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

well , you only answeered one of my questions (sort of) . and its NOT nitpickey to at least play even 6 notes at a time--- In  fact my old primitive  1984 juno has 6 voices . yes the Andromeda features 16 voices  and only costs $400  more than the PEK , so i dont buy the cost argument. Im not antidigital   I love the hybrid aspects of the PEK, just not the pathetically limited number of voices. It didnt make the PEK superior to the competition.
