The Novation Peak is an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer in desktop format which presents, for each voice, 3 "New Oxford" oscillators. These are digitally controlled (DCO) and deliver true analog sound while enjoying the benefits of digital thanks to the 17 wave tables present. They can also offer a linear FM source by taking advantage of the analog rendering of CODs or digital wave tables, making it possible to cross-modulate in a recursive loop.
The Novation Peak also has a resonant multifunction analog filter for each voice with 3 distortion points - prefilter, postfilter and global - in an analog signal chain. He is sensitive to polyphonic aftertouch, which multiplies the machine's expression possibilities. Reverb, delay and chorus effects complete this arsenal, not to mention the built-in arpeggiator.
The modulation system includes a matrix with 16 locations and 16 direct assignments accessible in the main controls in order to facilitate the intuitive design of patches and the editing of sound. 3 ADSR envelopes and 2 Lfo are available for each voice but also more complex or secondary assignments thanks to a menu immediately available. In addition, 2 animated buttons allow the musician to instantly modify the patches. The Peak connects to modular systems through a CV modulation input and presents Midi inputs / outputs in DIN format (5 pins) for the connection of other Midi devices. In addition, it can be connected to a Mac or PC in order to save an unlimited number of patches using the Components software.
