Novation Peak on Drums — How to Turn a Peak (or Summit) into a Drum Machine (with free soundbank)

video upload by TheGuacamoleXplosion

"This no-talking video explores 7 different methods of using the Novation Peak as a drum synthesizer, a drum machine or even a groovebox.

A soundbank for the Novation Peak (should also be mostly compatible with the Novation Summit) with all stuff from this video and some more, as well as the individual Peak patches, can be downloaded here:

All Peak Patches in this video were created from scratch. All Peak tracks were recorded through RME audio interfaces (Babyface Pro and Fireface UC) directly into Cubase stereo tracks. There are absolutely no effects on the individual Peak stereo tracks, not even panning, and levels are set to unity gain, to give an as-clear-as-possible impression of the Peak’s sonic potential and limits. On most parts (except intro), there is brickwall limiting on the stereo master, and on most multitrack parts also additional compression and EQ on the stereo master. Guitar parts recorded D.I. into the Fireface UC with a 1973 Stratocaster, several track and send FX on those.

Sineway Live Performance - Peak, Digitakt 2 & Microcosm

video upload by Sineway

"My first performance in front of a real audience - two tracks written to fit together, performed live on a small stage at a private event.

The first track is a reimagination of Obsidian (link below), with the Novation Peak taking the lead through the Hologram Microcosm. The second is an original track written specifically for this event, where the Peak switches to the bass role.

The Elektron Digitakt 2 handles all sequencing and arrangement, sampling heavily from the Peak and some from AstroLab 37. The ZOOM LiveTrak L6max makes its first appearance on the channel as my live mixer - more on that later."

► Warm VS Cold ► fun sounds for Novation Peak & Summit by Jexus.

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"Warm VS Cold: fun sounds for Novation Peak / Summit by Jexus (this is an update of my soundpack, demo'ed in 2 videos - this is the first video). This demo focuses on lo-fi, dusty & fragile sounds.

Thoughts & info: https://sounds-for-synths.com/novatio...

All sounds come from the 'Jexus Peak / Summit Soundset' with 250 custom presets / patches. The patches work on both Peak & Summit. You don’t need any custom / external wavetables. However, you need firmware V 2.0 minimum. My presets come under the name 'WCOG + number' in a soundbank saved as a sysex file. Note: my presets will be a little bit quieter than the factory presets.

I did not use any external FX in the demo; all the delays, reverbs, noises and other effects are part of the Peak / Summit engine & mod matrix. I only used some EQ-ing on selected sounds."

Waldorf Protein Atmospheric Sound Pack - 120 sounds

video upload by Crybo Synth Sounds

"Latest sound pack from me for the Waldorf Protein. 120 sounds featuring atmospheric pads, dub stabs, fx. Some clean, some dusty and dirty. Some parameters mapped to the mod wheel on a lot of the patches.
You will need SyseX Librarian or something similar to transfer the patches.

Download link: https://payhip.com/b/jfzmK

Sounds available for the Super 6, Waldorf Iridium, Hydrasynth, Novation Peak, Minilogue XD, Digitone 2, Cobalt 8, Dub Techno Stabs, pads & chords from my hardware synths & a free Dreadbox Artemis sound pack."

Seventies Synth Songs on the Novation Peak (with free soundbank)

video upload by TheGuacamoleXplosion

"Partial covers of synth-focused tracks from each year of the 1970s on the Novation Peak. No talking.

All synth sounds (including most electronic drum sounds) in this video are pure Novation Peak: Presets created from scratch, recorded directly through RME audio interfaces into Cubase, with no track effects added to any of the Peak tracks, not even EQ or panning (only exceptions: on Autobahn, the cluster Vocoder is two tracks hard-panned in the DAW; and the bass on the final part has a bit of treble shelved off with the Cubase stock EQ).

The soundbank for the Novation Peak (should also be compatible with the Novation Summit) as well as the individual sounds and the 1 User Wavetable I used in the “AnimAutobahn” faux vocoder patches can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

00:00 - Intro: Autobahn, Part C
02:57 - 1970: Emerson, Lake & Palmer — Lucky Man

06:52 - 1973: Pink Floyd — Any Colour You Like
08:13 - 1973: Pink Floyd — On The Run

Novation Peak Trance & Techno | Real Songs, No Talking

video upload by STEHRÆON

"My favorite Novation Peak sounds in real song clips from my tracks.

After six months with the Peak, it has become one of the core synths in my setup — for arps, pads, leads, basses and atmospheric layers.

The clips move through melodic techno, trance, synthpop and darkwave, with most parts built around strong melodic lines — an area where the Peak works extremely well.

No talking, just sound.

Not sponsored.

Recorded dawless. No extra FX. No edits."

The synth that shapes SCALER’s sound

video upload by Novation

"*This video contains flashing images that may affect photosensitive viewers.*

We caught up with Bristol-based band ‪@SCALERBAND‬ to find out more about their sound and the workflow behind their live session.

We collaborated with SCALER to bring you performances of Broken Entry, Mirage, and Cold Storage from their latest record; watch via the link below.
But after the band’s live session, we spoke with Alex Hill and James Rushforth about their live electronic setup. In this video, the band explain in depth how they brought together this live setup and how it all works in unison, blending electronics, metal inspired guitars, and dreamy vocals. Featuring Peak as the beating heart of their live synth sounds, alongside the Launch Control and Launch Control XL they take you through their unique live session setup.

Pd EXP-02 - Sequencing the Novation Peak using Pure Data

Novation Peak Review: Still the Benchmark in 2026

video upload by Sineway

"Novation Peak review after nearly a year of real use - in tracks, in live performances, alongside the Digitakt II and Launch Control XL 3.

Novation sent me the Peak a year ago and I told them upfront that I might not review it, because I prefer to make music, not gear reviews. But after all these tracks, I think there are three things about this synth more people should know about, so I want to share my take on it.
