Novation Peak Eight-voice Polyphonic Synthesiser

Professional Polyphonic Synthesizer For Sound Designers And Producers
The Novation Peak Eight-Voice Polyphonic Synthesiser is a desktop powerhouse that merges the warmth of analog sound with the flexibility of digital technology. Designed for musicians, producers, and live performers, Peak offers three New Oxford Oscillators per voice, giving you a total of 24 oscillators across eight polyphonic voices. Its hybrid architecture delivers an analog signal path with digital precision, resulting in lush pads, cutting basses, evolving textures, and dynamic leads that respond beautifully to your playing. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, Peak is built to be the creative centerpiece of your electronic music setup.

Hybrid Sound Engine Combining Analog Warmth And Digital Precision
At the heart of Peak lies Novation’s New Oxford Oscillators, generated by high-resolution FPGA technology. These oscillators emulate the depth of true analog waveforms while offering the creative versatility of digital wavetables and FM synthesis. Each of the eight voices features its own resonant multimode analog filter, along with three separate stages of analog distortion — pre-filter, post-filter, and post-VCA. This hybrid design ensures an organic yet flexible sound that’s rich, powerful, and fully customizable to suit any style of production.

Expansive Modulation Matrix For Deep Sound Shaping
Peak’s 16-slot modulation matrix gives you vast control over how your sounds evolve and interact. With 16 direct front-panel modulation assignments, you can quickly route sources to destinations without diving through complex menus. Two dedicated Animate buttons allow you to trigger real-time modulation changes, opening the door for expressive performance possibilities. From subtle tonal variations to wild, experimental sound design, the modulation options on Peak make it an incredibly adaptive instrument for any creative workflow.

Integrated Wavetable Editing And Custom Oscillator Design
With the Wavetable Editor, Peak offers full control over its digital oscillators. Use the built-in drawing tools to sketch your own waveforms or import custom audio files for truly unique sound design. The Live Edit mode lets you preview your oscillator shapes in real time, making experimentation fast and intuitive. Peak also includes curated content from the NASA sound library, plus exclusive artist-created wavetables from producers like Noisia and John Tejada, ensuring a wide range of sonic starting points for inspiration.

Firmware Update v2.0 Adds Stereo Depth And Advanced Effects
The latest firmware update brings new creative power to Peak’s architecture. Stereo spread modes and per-voice panning expand the spatial depth of your sounds, while new modulation destinations and noise sources offer greater control and unpredictability. Updated effects such as new Chorus Modes, Flanger, and Lo-Fi Delay enhance Peak’s onboard reverb, delay, and chorus engines, adding even more richness and vintage character. This update also refines modulation and LFO performance, allowing for deeper expression and evolving textures in every patch.

Flexible Connectivity For Modern Music Production
Peak integrates effortlessly into any setup, whether you’re using a DAW, hardware rig, or modular system. It connects to Mac or PC via USB and features traditional MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports for external gear. A CV modulation input allows Peak to interface with modular synthesizers, bringing analog and digital worlds together. Its compact, durable desktop design ensures easy placement in any studio environment while delivering the performance capabilities of a flagship keyboard synth.

Built For Longevity And Backed By Warranty Support
Constructed with premium materials and precision components, Peak is engineered for reliability in both studio and live performance settings. Every control, encoder, and button feels solid and responsive, making long production sessions comfortable and efficient. Novation backs the Peak with a three-year hardware warranty, providing confidence and support for musicians worldwide.
