A Novation Hybrid Designed as a True Sound Design "Instrument"
The Novation Peak positions itself as a hybrid synthesizer: the precision of digital control serving an analog processing chain capable of adding depth to sounds. Within the Novation range, it stands out as a creation-oriented machine, ideal for enriching an existing setup (master keyboard, sequencer, groovebox) thanks to its desktop format and very direct ergonomics focused on modulation and performance.For Which Musicians and Styles?
The Peak is primarily aimed at experienced musicians and sound creators who enjoy sculpting their patches: electro, techno, ambient, synthwave, pop, film scoring, and experimentation. In the studio, it excels on organic pads, dense basses, and cutting leads. On stage, its performance controls, arpeggiator, and built-in effects allow evolving sounds in real time while maintaining a compact and reliable setup.Technical specifications

Just got it a week ago and I love it.. Very good synth with clean sounds as I like them (I make ambient music, new age, chillout), in the same way as the supernova but with more punch. And above all a very pleasant interface...
Very well made and I love to watch it almost as much as to play it;)Automatically translated
