Novation Summit

CurrentReleased 2019

A 16-voice, two-part keyboard synth that is effectively two Peaks in one 61-key instrument. Its FPGA oscillators handle analogue-style, wavetable and FM sounds, then pass through analogue filters, VCAs and distortion. It suits players who want to split or layer two big patches live and value hands-on control over menus.
