zZounds News Hit Your Synth High

Built on the bedrock of their critically acclaimed Peak desktop synth, Novation's new Summit is a three-oscillator-per-voice, 16-voice polyphonic keyboard capable of splitting, stacking, and switching from two simultaneous patches. Summit, quite simply, scales the power of Peak towards a new height! Enrique Martinez from Novation walks us through the highlights of this synth behemoth in this exclusive video filmed at our HQ.

It's digital where it counts. It's analog where it matters. It does the seemingly impossible and puts the power of two Peak synths at your fingertips. 'Hidden' controls found on the Peak are unlocked (and made fully accessible), opening up the world of FM synthesis, multiple LFOs, arp controls, and so much more -- all in the Summit. If you thought you made it to the top before, Novation now asks you: "How about trying this on for size?"

Need some instant inspiration? Novation will be releasing 1000 sound presets, compatible with both Peak and Summit, throughout August, September, and October! Created in collaboration with artists such as Legowelt, Craig Williams, Lightbath, Hinako Omori, Emily Sprague, and Shawn Rudiman alongside many others, these patches comprise a vast and diverse library of basses, leads, pads, arps, FX and more that showcase the synths. The best news? All 1000 patches are available for free download via Novation's Components app.
