Novation Summit
Overview
The Novation Summit is a 16-voice bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer built for professional keyboardists and studio producers who want the expansive sound and deep programming of the Peak architecture with a full-sized keyboard and doubled polyphony. It effectively houses two Peak synthesizer engines, each with eight voices, that can be layered, split, or used independently as two separate instruments. Each voice features three NCOs with wavetable capability, analog multimode filters, and analog VCAs, maintaining the hybrid analog-digital architecture that gives the Peak its distinctive sound. The 61-key keybed with velocity and aftertouch provides expressive control suited for performance, while the expanded front panel adds dedicated controls for the second layer. High-quality onboard effects including reverb, delay, chorus, and distortion are available per layer. Sound quality is exceptional, delivering thick analog pads, crystalline digital textures, punchy basses, and soaring leads with 16 voices of headroom for complex arrangements. The 16-slot modulation matrix per layer, multiple LFOs, and looping envelopes allow intricate sound design that evolves dynamically. The sturdy metal and wood construction exudes professional quality and stage presence. Ideal for touring keyboardists and studio professionals who need a bi-timbral powerhouse with analog signal path authenticity. The combination of two full synthesis engines makes the Summit one of the deeper instruments to program comprehensively.
