Name: Novation Peak Eight Voice Desktop Polyphonic Synthesiser - Suhavi Mart
Price: 199979 INR
Availability: InStock

Peak is an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesiser built around New Oxford Oscillators that combine the best of analogue sound and digital flexibility – including inbuilt and custom digital wavetables. With a resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice, and three separate points of distortion per voice, it’s truly the best of both worlds.

Polyphonic aftertouch, an extensive mod matrix, and two dedicated Animate buttons allow for endlessly expressive performances, while lush onboard reverb, delay and chorus round off a formidable addition to any sound designer’s arsenal.

Key Features

Digital where it counts — Digital FPGA-generated New Oxford Oscillators for analogue-style, wavetable and FM synthesis
Analogue where it matters — an analogue filter, analogue VCAs and three stages of analogue distortion per voice
High-quality digital effects — stunning reverb, delay, and chorus effects are instantly accessible via the effects section
Extensive modulation system — 16-slot modulation matrix and 16 direct assignments controllable from the front panel
Wavetable Editor — featuring drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time

Analogue where it matters – digital where it counts

This synth can sound as mellow or aggressive as you want. Seek out sweet spots with the filter mod to make it sing. Crank the distortion and it will growl with pent up anger. Push the resonance to self oscillation to create shrieking leads. Bass StaaPeak’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 60 digital wavetables.tion II can sound however you feel.

Build and refine new sounds from scratch

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.
