Novation PEAK Synth Module 8-Voice Polyphonic Desktop w/ 3 Oscillators Per Voice
Product
Information:
Peak sounds warm and rich with filthy,
biting overdrive. It’s an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesiser
with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. The synth has a
resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice, and three
distortion points in an analogue signal chain.
Peak’s design consultant was none other than Chris Huggett, the man
behind Bass Station, Supernova, OSCar and many more legendary synths.
Peak has its origin in the Bass Station II analogue monosynth, and
Peak’s oscillators sound completely analogue by being high-quality
NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators), but gain the flexibility
of the digital domain with 17 digital wavetables.
Broaden out your electronic music, draw in new influences and take
artistic risks. The modulation system puts the most frequently used
assignments right at your fingertips in the main controls. More
elaborate movements and secondary ‘via’ assignments are made just a
few menu button presses away.
You can plug Peak into your Mac or PC via USB and start playing. It
also has MIDI I/O on five-pin DIN ports, so you can connect your
other MIDI gear. Oh, and did we mention it connects to modular
systems via a CV modulation input?
