It's unique, that's what I like about it. The MEK is still on my gas list since all these years. Probably the only one in there in fact.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/5/17 punkdISCO <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:forums@punkdisco.co.uk" target="_blank">forums@punkdisco.co.uk</a>></span><br>

Yeah, the PEK is a funny beast. Im still not sure if I like it.. Sound<br>
wise, it just feels a little unimpressive when using basic synthesis: dial<br>
up a simple waveform, single oscillator and then stick it through a basic<br>
filter/VCA setup - for me, a "good" synth will produce great results with<br>
such a simple sound, however, the PEK (etc) sound very boring when going<br>
back to basics like this.<br>
<br>
Clearly, the PEKs/MEKs start to shine when you use all their features (such<br>
as my demo) and they can do some crazy stuff but this crazy stuff then<br>
becomes very overpower and is difficult to get into a track (unless it<br>
becomes the whole track).<br>
<br>
I also find the sweet stop very small and hard to find. My demo video was<br>
triggered around me trying to create a wobbly filter sound, using the<br>
sequencer to introduce the "wobble" by controlling the filter env attack.<br>
This task would take 20 seconds on most synths (forgetting about driving it<br>
from the sequencer) but on the PEK, you have a load of head scratching -<br>
turning up the filter env attack and the filter still gets trigger on full<br>
(btw, I completely know how to do this stuff on all my synths so its not<br>
lack of knowledge). Then, just as you get it, you make another TINY change<br>
to another env and its gone again!!!! Ahhhh!!!! In summary, its very<br>
frustrating and quite slow to get the sound you are trying for..<br>
<br>
I think I need to spend more time on it.. So sell it..<br>
