Eight-Voice Desktop Polyphonic Synthesiser
Novation - Peak
Please note: This is an open box product, packaging has been opened and demonstrated to a customer, but product is in as-new condition.
featuring three New Oxford Oscillators for each voiceThe Novation Peak is an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesiser built around New Oxford Oscillators that combine the best of analogue sound and digital flexibility, including inbuilt and custom digital wavetables. Featuring a resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice, and three separate points of distortion per voice, it’s truly the best of both worlds.
Polyphonic aftertouch, an extensive mod matrix, and two dedicated Animate buttons allow for limitless expressive performances, while immersive onboard reverb, delay and chorus round off a formidable addition to any sound designer’s collection.
At a glance
• Digital FPGA-generated New Oxford Oscillators for analogue-style, wavetable and FM synthesis
• An analogue filter, analogue VCAs and three stages of analogue distortion per voice
• Stunning reverb, delay, and chorus effects are instantly accessible via the effects section
• 16-slot modulation matrix and 16 direct assignments controllable from the front panel
• Drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time
Analogue Where It Matters
digital where it countsThe design consultant for the Peak was none other than Chris Huggett, the man behind Bass Station, Supernova, OSCar and many more legendary synths.
Peak has its origin in the Bass Station II analogue monosynth, and Peak’s oscillators sound completely analogue by being high-quality NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators), but gain the flexibility of the digital domain with 60 digital wavetables.
Build & Refine New Sounds
made from scratchExpand on your electronic music, draw in new influences and take artistic risks. The modulation system puts the most frequently used assignments right at your fingertips in the main controls.
More elaborate movements and secondary ‘via’ assignments are made with just a few menu button presses.
Connect To Just About Anything
plug in!You can plug Peak into your Mac or PC via USB and start playing almost instantly. It includes MIDI I/O on five-pin DIN ports, so you can connect your other MIDI gear.
It also connects to modular systems using a CV modulation input.
