Polyphonic Analog Synthesis for the Modern Musician

With three New Oxford Oscillators per voice, each with traditional waveshapes plus access to 17 digital wavetables, the Novation Peak 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer is perfect for modern electronic music producers. It’s perfect for sound design too, with a 16-slot modulation matrix plus 16 direct assignments accessible directly from the front panel. Each synth voice can utilize its own analog multimode filter, with pre- and post-filter distortion available as well. Factor in built-in reverb, delay, and chorus effects, a flexible arpeggiator, and a CV modulation input for integration with modular gear, and the creative potential in the Novation Peak synthesizer module becomes obvious.

Gloriously vibrant analog tone

From straight up saw waves to frequency-modulated sines, you’ll notice the Novation Peak synthesizer has that punchy, three-dimensional sound analog synths are known for. The key is its numerically controlled New Oxford Oscillators, which sound analog but also give you access to 17 digital wave tables. And with three oscillators available per voice, that’s a ton of sound design potential before you even reach for the analog multimode filter.

Massive modulation capabilities

When it’s time to make your sounds really come alive, the Novation Peak module doesn’t disappoint. Right from the front panel, you’ve got access to 16 direct modulation assignments to inject some motion into your patches. Beyond that, you’ve got a 16-slot modulation matrix you can use however you like. Want to use aftertouch to control the waveshape of oscillator 2? No problem. Want to control the post-filter distortion amount from the amplitude envelope? Go for it. With this much modulation potential, you’ll always be able to add one more final tweak or highlight to your patch.

Versatile distortion plus sweet effects

If you’ve been designing synth sounds for a while, you know that distortion can be used for much more than an aggressive effect. Producers like adding subtle distortion to a bass patch to help it cut through the midrange, or they sometimes just add it to the attack of a sound to give it more bite without audible distortion. The Novation Peak features built-in distortion that you can apply pre- or post-filter for each voice — there’s also a master distortion available independently. On top of that, you’ll find high-quality reverb, delay, and chorus effects to finalize your patches.
