From Peak to Summit: Novation's High-End Designed for the Stage
Derived from the sonic DNA of the Peak, the Novation Summit establishes itself as a flagship model focused on performance, with a more generous and autonomous keyboard format. Its 2-part multitimbral structure and doubled analog filters per part position it as a reference choice for those seeking a modern, versatile synthesizer capable of sounding both precise and warm.Who Is It For, and What Styles?
The Summit is aimed at experienced keyboardists and producers (and discerning enthusiasts) who want an inspiring, immediate, and deep sound design instrument. It excels in electro, techno, ambient, synthwave, pop, and pad creation for film scoring, while remaining formidable for basses, expressive leads, and rhythmic sequences. In the studio, its modulation and effects speed up production; live, the Split/Layer, aftertouch, and front-panel controls make sound transitions and evolutions very natural.Technical specifications

The polyphony reaches 16 voices, with 3 New Oxford oscillators per voice. These FPGA-driven NCOs cover subtractive synthesis, wavetable, and FM.
Does the keyboard have aftertouch?
The 61-note semi-weighted keyboard is velocity sensitive and includes aftertouch, with pitch bend and modulation wheels.
What MIDI and audio connectivity is included?
Connectivity includes MIDI DIN In, Out, and Thru, as well as MIDI via USB. A stereo audio input on 2 jacks allows external sources to be processed through the filters and effects. Outputs include jack connectors, with 4 jack outputs specified in the features.
What effects and performance controls are present?
Three effects are integrated: reverb, delay, and chorus, complemented by analog distortion per voice. Animate buttons trigger variations in timbre or modulation, while the arpeggiator is syncable.
