Description

Built on the innovative foundations of our critically acclaimed Peak synthesiser, Summit is a three-oscillator-per-voice, 16-voice keyboard synth that aims to inspire, empower, whether on stage or in the studio. Its Digital New Oxford Oscillators combine the best of analogue sound and digital flexibility – including inbuilt and custom digital wavetables. Effectively placing the power of two Peaks at your fingertips, Summit allows two completely independent patches to be split or layered across the keyboard or switched between on the fly. It also expands on Peak's layout, with many additional controls and functions now accessible on the front panel

Features

Peak powered up — the acclaimed Peak architecture taken to the next level, with 16 voices, expanded controls, new filter options, and more
Digital where it counts — digital FPGA-generated New Oxford Oscillators for analogue-style, wavetable and FM synthesis
Analogue where it matters — dual analogue filters, analogue VCAs and three stages of analogue distortion per voice
Two sounds at once — multitimbral engine for splitting, stacking and switching between two simultaneous patches
Wavetable Editor — featuring drawing tools and a Live Edit mode, so you can draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them in real time

Why We Like This

Summit doubles the power of Peak’s digital New Oxford Oscillators up to 16 voices and two parts, and adds a wealth of new features and a premium-quality five-octave keyboard. A synth much greater than the sum of its parts, it gives the serious producer or performer everything they need to design and play stunning basses, leads, arps, pads, effects and beyond.
