Summit is the new flagship synthesiser from Novation. The Novation Summit is a two-part, three-oscillator-per-voice, polyphonic synth with 16 voices. Built on the innovations of the critically acclaimed Peak, this synthesiser is a force to be reckoned with. A true workhorse live and in the studio which produces electronic sounds of all kinds, from basses, leads and arps to pads, FX, soundbeds and beyond.

Summit effectively combines 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 new 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. 

Summit boasts a wealth of modulation sources and assignment options, and three stunning FPGA-generated effects, all operated directly from the front panel.
