Novation Peak
Peak has an analogue resonance multi-mode filter per voice and three distortion points before the filter, behind it and globally - in the analogue signal chain. Peak can receive polyphonic aftertouch, which greatly increases your expressive possibilities when playing. High-quality reverb, delay and chorus effects as well as an integrated arpeggiator offer you further creative possibilities. Peak features a 16-slot modulation matrix and 16 front-panel direct assignments, cleverly arranged for intuitive patch design and sound editing. In each voice, you can access three ADSR envelopes and two LFOs. With just a few keystrokes, you can change your sounds and make them move.
For live performers, the two Animate buttons are perfect, allowing you to instantly change your patches with just one touch. Peak can be integrated into modular systems via the CV modulation input. Thanks to five-pin MIDI input and output DIN jacks, you can also connect to other MIDI hardware. USB connects Peak to a PC or Mac for unlimited patch management with Components software.
In Novation's biggest update for Peak, the v2.0 firmware update brings major improvements and a host of features in the areas of stereo control, modulation, randomness and effects to help you shape your sound. You can find all information on novationmusic.com
