DSI - "no to 4 voice PEK upgrade"

2010-02-07 by wasteking1

After a few emails to DSI over the past year i have been informed by their tech department that there will be NO 4 voice INTERNAL upgrade to the PEK. When i proposed the idea, They had previously said it sounded like a good idea. It would have been a great factory sponsored mod or option when buying a new one. Imagine a choice--an evover with one, four or eight voices....
  Instead, they are reintroducing the PE rack-- which while it would expensively add 4 voices--- is NOT a compact ,portable, userfriendly solution.certainly not good for gigging.  
Look inside your PEK -- there is plenty of room for more circuitry. the case is almost half empty. look how small the voice boards are.    
oh well,  Dave knows best.
 [but even those old 80's polysynths had at least 6 voices and even his Prophet 08  has 8] {competing synths have even more --except, of course,  that ripoff mono minimoog)   Perhaps if enough people demanded it  they would respond.
