Novation Summit 61 Summit s digital New Oxford Oscillators offer subtractive, FM and wavetable synthesis, and feed into genuine analogue dual filters, distortion and VCAs. The multitimbral engine enables merging and combining of two complete and independent patches, while up to 16 simultaneous voices deliver enough harmonic depth for even the richest of pads. 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. Features: Two-part multitimbral 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer Three NCO New Oxford Oscillators per voice, enabling subtractive, wavetable or FM synthesis Analogue multimode 12/24dB filter per voice with Dual mode Five-octave semi-weighted, premium keybed with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch Per-part effects: distortion, chorus, delay and reverb Stereo audio-in routable to onboard effects and aux outputs Summit Firmware Update v2.0 In Novation s biggest update for Summit, 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. Summit and Peak firmware v2.0 is the last addition to the legacy of Chris Huggett s innovative synth design work with Novation. Having shaped the sound of Novation s iconic synths “ including Bass Station, Supernova, Bass Station II, Peak and Summit, Chris has left an indelible imprint on Novation s heritage, and we will always be grateful for his influence and inspiration. Built on the innovative foundations of Novation's critically acclaimed Peak, Summit is a three-oscillator-per-voice, 16-voice keyboard synth aimed at the professional or semi-professional musician seeking an inspiring, empowering instrument for use both live and in the studio. In fact, Summit effectively puts the power of two Peaks at your fingertips, enabling 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 'hidden' controls and functions made accessible on the front panel “ FM routing, LFOs 3 and 4, all arpeggiator parameters and more “ plus the addition of pitch and mod wheels. Summit also features numerous filter options, and an audio input for processing external sources with its reverb, chorus and delay effects. At the heart of Summit are three digital New Oxford Oscillators per voice, hosted on the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip. As well as generating authentic analogue-style waveforms at incredibly high-resolution, this also facilitates FM and wavetable synthesis for the design of rich, complex and highly textural raw tones. Each voice feeds into a true stereo signal path comprising dual analogue filters, three stages of analogue distortion and analogue VCAs; while a wealth of modulation assignment options and three colourful effects bring movement, life and polish to your patches. Peak powered up The acclaimed Peak architecture taken to the next level, with 16 voices, expanded front panel controls, new filter options, a five-octave keyboard and more. Two sounds at once Multitimbral engine for splitting, stacking and switching between two simultaneous patches. 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. Per-part effects and arpeggiation Process each part or an external audio signal with reverb, chorus and delay effects, and create riffs and melodic lines with a variety of arp modes, adjustable gate time and preset patterns.

Firmware v2.0 Features: Stereo New spread modes, panning per voice, and panning in the mod matrix give additional control and allows for sound design in the stereo field. Now you can create bigger, wider, and more intricately textured soundscapes. Modulation and unpredictability Create deeper and more experimental sounds with new mod destinations, noise as a mod source, and additional LFO 3 and 4 parameters. Animate Envelopes and Arpeggiator Chance open more creative performance possibilities. Effects New effects, including Chorus Modes, Flanger, and Phlanger add new tonalities. Additional effects modulation destinations open up more experimental sound design. A new Lo-Fi delay mode enables a more vintage style sound. Bug Fixes The firmware update v2.0 includes a number of bug fixes. The full details can be found in the release notes.
