Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I also thought that making an external 4 voice expansion, similar to something the size of a Tetra would also be nicer than the old PER. If dave managed to develop a 4 voice Mopho in a casing about the same size - i bet he can do something the size of a desktop evolver (slightly bigger) with 4 voices in it.
 
Just my 2 cents

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.
