{"product_id":"novation-peak-8-voice-desktop-synth","title":"Novation Peak 8-Voice Desktop Synth","description":"\u003ch4\u003eEight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesizer with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item_content-text\"\u003ePeak is an 8-voice desktop polyphonic synthesizer with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. The oscillators sound completely analog by being high-quality NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators), but gain the flexibility of the digital domain with 17 digital wavetables. They can also become a linear FM source using either the analog-sounding NCOs or digital wavetables—so they are able to cross-modulate in a recursive loop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe synth has a resonant multi-mode analog filter for each voice, and three distortion points for each voice–pre-filter, post-filter and global–in an analog signal chain. Peak is capable of receiving polyphonic aftertouch, which puts expression right at your fingertips. Reverb, delay and chorus effects are at one's disposal, and there is also an onboard arpeggiator.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe modulation system puts a 16-slot modulation matrix and 16 direct assignments in the main controls, cleverly arranged for intuitive patch design and sound editing. There are three ADSR envelopes and two LFOs for each voice, and more elaborate movements and secondary via assignments are made just a few menu button presses away. In addition, two animate buttons give live performers instant one-touch transformation of patches.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePeak connects to modular systems via a CV modulation input, and has MIDI I\/O on five-pin DIN ports, so other MIDI gear can be connected. Via USB, Peak can be plugged into Mac or PC, where unlimited patches can be kept using the Components software. Track Select buttons jump between banks of eight tracks\/channels, and the bottom row of buttons map to Mute, Solo or Record Arm. The top two rows of rotaries, meanwhile, are freely MIDI mappable—yours to assign as you see fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFree to use with Novation Peak and Summit synths, the Wavetable Editor unleashes the power of the wavetable oscillators, allowing you to design your own waveforms and expand your creative potential. The Editor, which is part of the Novation Components browser-based platform, features drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time. The audio import feature lets you load in your own audio to be used as the oscillator waveform. Built into the Wavetable Editor is a curated selection of space-themed audio from the NASA sound library. Also included is exclusive wavetable content from production giants Noisia, who have created a preset pack to stir your creativity. The Wavetable Editor is free to use—just connect your Peak or Summit to your computer via USB and head to the Novation Components page in a compatible browser like Google Chrome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware Update 2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Novation’s biggest update for Peak, firmware update v2.0 brings in essential improvements and a multitude of features across stereo controls, modulation, unpredictability, and effects, that give you powerful tools to shape your sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereo \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew spread modes, panning per voice, and panning in the mod matrix give additional control and allows for sound design in the stereo field.
