Polyphonic Analog Synthesis for the Modern Musician
With three New Oxford Oscillators per voice, each with traditional waveshapes plus access to 60 digital wavetables, the Novation Peak 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer is perfect for modern electronic music producers. It's perfect for sound design too, with a 16-slot modulation matrix plus 16 direct assignments accessible directly from the front panel. Each synth voice can utilize its own analog multimode filter, with pre- and post-filter distortion available as well. Factor in built-in reverb, delay, and chorus effects (which can all be modulated via the FX Mod Matrix.), a flexible arpeggiator, and a CV modulation input for integration with modular gear, and the vast creative potential in the Novation Peak synthesizer module becomes obvious.

Powerful new Wavetable Editor
Novation has come out with a powerful new Wavetable Editor for Peak that unleashes the full power potential of its wavetable oscillators. The Wavetable Editor is packed with functionality to speed up your creative process, including intuitive drawing tools and a Live Edit mode that let you literally draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them — all in real time. Quickly create your own oscillator waveforms from imported clips with the Audio Import function. You'll also find an expertly curated collection of space-themed audio direct from the NASA sound library, plus exclusive content from top EDM producers Noisia. The Wavetable Editor makes Peak more powerful than ever — inother great reason to add this advanced synth to your sonic arsenal.

Firmware update 1.2 makes Peak better than ever
It's common for manufacturers to provide firmware updates to fine-tune certain features or fix minor bugs. The firmware 1.2 update for Peak adds a ton of functionality that brings Peak to a whole new level. The most notable addition is a selection of 43 wavetables, bringing the onboard total to 60 digital wavetables. You'll also find additional LFOs, a new Mod Matrix design, an FX Mod Matrix that offers big creative potential, and much more.

What's new in firmware update 1.2:
43 new wavetables, bringing the total to 60 digital wavetables
Two more freely-assignable LFOs, for a total of four
Pitch Bend now available as a modulation source, and Pitch Bend Up and Down can be assigned separate signals if you like
Updated Mod Matrix design gives you faster access to all 16 modulation slots
FX Mod Matrix lets you route modulation sources to effects parameters
Updated envelopes add a Hold stage (up to 500ms), and the ability to loop the Attack and Decay stages
You can now initialize a patch while maintaining the current position of all knobs and sliders
Microtuning support has been added, with 16 tuning tables that you can edit and save
New presets include a soundbank of 128 presets by GForce Software, 50 presets by Patricia Wolf, and 178 new sounds showcasing the new features of firmware 1.2
Gloriously vibrant analog tone
From straight up saw waves to frequency-modulated sines, you'll notice the Novation Peak synthesizer has that punchy, three-dimensional sound analog synths are known for. The key is its numerically controlled New Oxford Oscillators, which sound analog but also give you access to 60 digital wavetables. And with three oscillators available per voice, that's a ton of sound design potential before you even reach for the analog multimode filter.

Massive modulation capabilities
When it's time to make your sounds really come alive, the Novation Peak module doesn't disappoint. Right from the front panel, you've got access to 16 direct modulation assignments to inject some motion into your patches. Beyond that, you've got a 16-slot modulation matrix you can use however you like. Want to use aftertouch to control the waveshape of oscillator 2? No problem. Want to control the post-filter distortion amount from the amplitude envelope? Go for it. With this much modulation potential, you'll always be able to add one more final tweak or highlight to your patch. And don't forget the FX Mod Matrix — you can now make your effects move with your mix by assigning modulators to practically any effects parameters.

Versatile distortion plus sweet effects
If you've been designing synth sounds for a while, you know that distortion can be used for much more than an aggressive effect. Producers we meet here,  like adding subtle distortion to a bass patch to help it cut through the midrange, or they sometimes just add it to the attack of a sound to give it more bite without audible distortion. The Novation Peak features built-in distortion that you can apply pre- or post-filter for each voice — there's also a master distortion available independently. On top of that, you'll find high-quality reverb, delay, and chorus effects to finalize your patches.
