"Recorded without any external FX or compressors.
Even if Novation Peak / Summit is far away from sequentials flexible mod matrix I honestly think they do sound very good when being programmed with a nice touch! :)"
"Underworld's intro to their huge hit Born Slippy is one of the best known intros, with an iconic stab and pad sound. Dance floors the world over go crazy when they hear that identifiable sound and chord sequence. In this video I show you first how to sound design these sounds, using my Novation Summit, and then again on the Montage. However, you can use my explanation to recreate the sound on most any synthesizer. I then show you how to play the chords."

How to Remake Underworld's "Dark and Long (Dark Train)" on the Roland Fantom/Fantom-0
"In this video, I take one of the earliest songs "Dark and Long (Dark Train)" by my favorite band, Underworld, and remake it in my Fantom-6. If you have a Fantom or a Fantom-0, you can do this yourself! I show how I picked the sounds, then go through the various parts and create sequences in the pattern sequencer. Once I'm done, I put it all together and show how it can be performed! You could do this on any multitimbral synth with a sequencer (MODX or Montage), using a DAW like Abelton, or even using a looper!"

"We play a set of improvised music on the Novation Summit and Eurorack modular synthesizer, following the creative impulse from moment to moment, connected in a flowing river of sound, with energy and note reflecting back and forth like light in a prism.
This set was played entirely in the quarter comma meantone tuning system, with 3 sharps and 2 flats."
"Ever wished your synth could sound like the legendary *Roland Jupiter-8*? In this video, I’ll show you how I built over 80 authentic Jupiter-8 style patches—from lush pads to classic leads and basses —and how you can design your own vintage synth tones step by step.
*What you’ll learn in this video*:
How to create Jupiter-8 inspired patches on Novation Summit & Peak

"Sonically we're in control iykyk :) .... Coming out of Leftfield - was the market ready for the Novation SUMMIT and PEAK FPGA oscillators back in 2018? Did we really understand what they were? .. digital .. yes, but not as we knew it, not old school tech type of digital.
Clocking at 24MHz these were something new. Bringing out a hybrid when everyone was going analog crazy was a brave move, but one that's still paying dividends.
Building on ideas from vintage classics, it seems to have come from the future... well ahead of it's time - it's always been a 2025 synth but was originally released in 2019.
AND - it's packed full of features...
In this I look at some of the more overlooked features, and the flexibility.In my previous demos i've showed how it can emulate the functions of loads of classic synths, so in this i take it a little further. Looking at binaural mode, complex modulation, 3 distortions, dual filter modes and wavetables.
... and a big thanks to @AlexBallMusic for his cameo :)"
