Novation Summit Two-part 16-Voice 61-Key Polyphonic Synthesizer

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 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 colorful effects bring movement, life and polish to your patches.

Features:

• Premium 5-octave semi-weighted key bed with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch
• 2-part multitimbral 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer.
• Hybrid architecture: "Digital where it counts, Analog where it matters".
• Multitimbral engine for splitting, stacking, and switching between 2 simultaneous patches.
• 3 NCO New Oxford Oscillators per voice, enabling subtractive, wavetable or FM synthesis.
• Dual analog filters, analog VCAs, and 3 stages of analog distortion per voice.
• Per-voice analog multimode 12/24dB filters with Dual mode.
• Per-part arpeggiator and effects (distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb).
• Powerful new Wavetable Editor unleashes the full power of the oscillators.
• Stereo audio in routable to onboard effects and aux outputs.
• Includes Ableton Live Lite DAW software.
