Re: [DSI Synths] DSI - "no to 4 voice PEK upgrade"

2010-03-28 by wasteking1

ADDING VOICES TO THE PEK IS NOT  THAT HARD---its already set up to do it through the polychain connection--- all they need to do is link another 4-voice board  up in line with the existing one INTERNALLY--rather than having you buy a whole new external rack unit. (and provide a more powerful power cord/adapter cause it would need more amps.)  this idea is NOT a 'new invention', its the same stuff DSI has already, just set up as a factory internal 'splice' , I dont see the big deal , 
     I also dont understand all the APOLOGIES  on this forum for DSI's  design limitations,  rather than suport for an easy improvement that requires  actually very little  R+D. (the pot-mod  wasnt much R+D either). Im suprised this crowd here is so complacent. Why not ask for something better. Something fairly easy , that would make this unit more useable OUT OF THE STUDIO--where carrying extra stuff is a drag.I assume the more peole demand it, the more they might respond.  Thanks for the negative energy on this one. [And if cost was a problem, Look at MOOG ---as if that MONOsynth is a 'good deal'--- its 50% more than a PEK and they sell .]
