Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Guys, look, the subject was over and done long before some of you started whining about it.  I use an MEK, and have since before this list was started.  I know Dave personally was one of the folks that suggested the PEK be made before the PER was even released, and yes as a 4-voice.  How many of you whiners have ever actually hooked up a PEK and a PER and used eight voices simultaneously?  Dave came out with the MED as a monosynth for a good reason: complex tones that stand on their own.  The 4-voice in many cases is barely usable because if all the crazy interfrequency modulation that occurs between  tones in anything but the simplest of voices.  Seriously, wake up folks, and stop whining.  Why do you think Dave did a Prophet in 8-voice?  Because the voices are simple enough to fit together and work in a mix.  An 8-layer Evolver tone?  Next to useless wall of sounds the closely borders noise.  Most of you asking for an 8-voice Evolver probably don't do
 a whole lot of sound design.  My guess is that most of you are players that just want to do bigger chordal voicings on the big keyboard.  Chances are you're not sound engineers and probably don't know a whole lot about leaving room in the frequency spectrum for other sounds to occur.  So here's my two cents: if you want to do polyphony, get a Prophet-8.  The tones fit together better for chords.  If you're really desperate, sample the PEK.  Seriously though, this is old.  Get out there, get playing and make good music.  Good luck.
