Ive had most of Dave Smiths instruments and my top two(only too I=E2=80=99=
ve kept) are DSI PEK (PE) and Toraiz AS-1
I preferred the AS-1 over both the Pro2/Pro 6 for bass duties and like =
the filter on AS-1 more.

assume that tweaking the envelope settings could have made them sound =
the same, unless the curves are somehow different.
