SUMMIT | 61-Key Polyphonic Synthesizer

• Peak powered up – the acclaimed Peak architecture taken to the next level, with 16 voices, expanded controls, new filter options, and more
• Digital where it counts – digital FPGA-generated New Oxford Oscillators for analogue-style, wavetable and FM synthesis
• Analogue where it matters – dual analogue filters, analogue VCAs and three stages of analogue distortion per voice
• Two sounds at once – multitimbral engine for splitting, stacking and switching between two simultaneous patches
• Wavetable Editor – featuring drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time

Built on the innovative foundations of our critically acclaimed Peak synthesiser, Summit is a three-oscillator-per-voice, 16-voice keyboard synth that aims to inspire, empower, whether on stage or in the studio. Its Digital New Oxford Oscillators combine the best of analogue sound and digital flexibility – including inbuilt and custom digital wavetables.

Effectively placing the power of two Peaks at your fingertips, Summit allows two completely independent patches to be split or layered across the keyboard or switched between on the fly. It also expands on Peak’s layout, with many additional controls and functions now accessible on the front panel.

The Best Sounding Synthesiser Novation Has Ever Made

Summit doubles the power of Peak’s digital New Oxford Oscillators up to 16 voices and two parts, and adds a wealth of new features and a premium-quality five-octave keyboard. A synth much greater than the sum of its parts, it gives the serious producer or performer everything they need to design and play stunning basses, leads, arps, pads, effects and beyond.

Totally Tactile Sound Design

Summit takes Peak’s architecture and workflow to new heights, with a swathe of extra front panel controls for hands-on wrangling of FM, effects, LFOs and more; dual filters with six LP/HP/BP combinations; audio input for processing external sources with the onboard effects; and auxiliary audio outputs.

Analogue Where it Matters

The true stereo analogue signal path comprises dual analogue multimode filters, analogue VCAs and three stages of analogue distortion – pre- and post-filter, and post-VCA. With roots in the legendary OSCar, via Bass Station II, Summit’s analogue credentials are truly impressive.

Wavetable Editor

The Wavetable Editor unleashes the power of the wavetable oscillators. It features drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time. Audio import lets you load in your own audio to be used as the oscillator waveform. Included is a curated selection of space-themed audio from the NASA sound library, plus exclusive content from production giants Noisia.

Summit Firmware Update v2.0

In Novation’s biggest update for Summit, firmware update v2.0 brings a multitude of features across stereo controls, modulation and unpredictability, and effects, that give you powerful tools to shape your sound.
