{"product_id":"novation-peak-8-voice-polyphonic-synth","title":"Novation Peak 8-Voice Polyphonic Synth","description":"\u003ch3\u003ePeak sounds warm and rich with filthy, biting overdrive. It’s an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesiser with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. The synth has a resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice, and three distortion points in an analogue signal chain.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue where it matters – digital where it counts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeak’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 17 digital wavetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEXPLORE THE TECHNOLOGY OF PEAK\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect to just about anything - You can plug Peak into your Mac or PC via USB and start playing. It also has MIDI I\/O on five-pin DIN ports, so you can connect your other MIDI gear. Oh, and did we mention it connects to modular systems via a CV modulation input?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ways to create waveforms - Analogue-sounding NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators) and 17 digital wavetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA colossal amount of distortion - Three distortion points for each voice – pre-filter, post-filter and global – in an analogue signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl expression - Peak is capable of receiving polyphonic aftertouch, which puts expression right at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-modulate oscillators - The three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice can become a linear FM source using either the analogue-sounding NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators) or digital wavetables. They are also able to cross-modulate in a recursive loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHuge modulation system - 16-slot modulation matrix and 16 direct assignments controlled from the front panel, cleverly arranged for intuitive patch design and sound editing.
