"Out Now - https://www.geosynths.com/novation-su...
I'm back with Patches 49 to 64 (of 64) for the Novation Summit, all of which use both Layers for Stacks and Splits.

They are different Sounds from what I created for Zenith Vol 1 to 3 and utilize the added Functionality of the Summit, especially the Filter Functions. Each Patch is made up from 2 different Sounds, mostly Layered though there are some Splits, but of course, they can be used on their own, giving 128 Single Patches.

That's it, Zenith Vol 3 for the Novation PEAK and Summit is now available. All 128 Patches have been demonstrated over 4 Videos. The PEAK and Summit are incredible Synths and are capable of so much variety...Love it!

It's been a while since I sat down with the Novation PEAK and decided to make Zenith Vol 3, which also works for the Novation Summit. Again, another 128 Patches, however with Vol 2 I concentrated on using the additional Wavetables for the Patches, so had a more "Digital" edge, however with Vol 3, I've just made Patches that I want to hear, play and put into Music.

There's Analog Pads, Poly's, lots of Motion Pads and Stringers. Plenty of Bass & Lead and some beautiful Digital Soundscapes. All 128 Patches have Animate Buttons assigned, often to multiple parameters, as well as Aftertouch and Mod Wheel.

They are compatible with the latest Firmware from Novation (V2.1)

The press release:

""Powerful new tools to shape your sound.

Novation has just launched its biggest update yet for Summit and Peak. Firmware v2.0 brings in essential improvements and a multitude of features across stereo controls, modulation, unpredictability, and effects, that give you powerful tools to shape your sound.

Summit and Peak owners will now be able to create bigger, wider, and more intricately textured soundscapes with updated stereo controls. Experiment with expansive sound design with modulation and unpredictability. A range of effects improvements brings new tonalities with the addition of Chorus Modes, Flanger, Phlanger, new effects modulation destinations and Lo-Fi delay.

Firmware v2.0 Features

Stereo
New spread modes, panning per voice, and panning in the mod matrix give additional control and allows for sound design in the stereo field. Now you can create bigger, wider, and more intricately textured soundscapes.
Modulation and unpredictability
Create deeper and more experimental sounds with new mod destinations, noise as a mod source, and additional LFO 3 and 4 parameters. Animate Envelopes and Arpeggiator Chance open more creative performance possibilities.

Effects
New effects, including Chorus Modes, Flanger, and Phlanger add new tonalities. Additional effects modulation destinations open up more experimental sound design. A new Lo-Fi delay mode enables a more vintage style sound.

Bug Fixes
The firmware update v2.0 includes a number of bug fixes. The full details can be found in the release notes.

You can read about the full details of firmware v2.0 by visiting the Components update page for Summit and Peak.

Summit and Peak firmware v2.0 is the last addition to the legacy of Chris Huggett’s innovative synth design work with Novation. Having shaped the sound of Novation’s iconic synths – including Bass Station, Supernova, Bass Station II, Peak and Summit, Chris has left an indelible imprint on our heritage, and we will always be grateful for his influence and inspiration.

Novation will also be hosting a live stream today (Thursday March 31st, 2022, 9pm UK time), with product specialist Enrique, taking place on our YouTube channel, where the new v2.0 update features will be demonstrated live.

For those unfamiliar with Peak and Summit, Peak is an eight-voice polyphonic synthesiser that boasts rich and warm sounds, while Summit is a two-part, 16-voice, 61-key synthesiser with great harmonic depth – both now with enhanced capabilities thanks to firmware update v2.0.

Summit & Peak owners are now able to download the v2.0 update from Novation Components."

Novation Peak PSYCHEDELIC 70ies Ambient (trippy analog side of the PEAK) /#51

Published on Nov 18, 2017 VolcaRock

"NOVATION PEAK- trippy analog side of the Peak: Good morning ladies & synthmen. Today a new 70ies inspired psychedelic Ambient track with the amazing Peak, real Drums (Jim Dooley) & little Guitar. It's a kinda 8 Track recording and the Octatrack is my digital tape machine. I started the recording during our holiday (once again Usedom/German Baltic Sea Coast with additional drone videos from my new Phantom 4) and finished at our new home in Dresden
Enjoy my Space Trip :-)

Prophet 12 - Custom Patches 1 to 25 - geosynths.com

Published on Sep 4, 2017 GEOSynths

www.geosynths.com

"Had the chance to get hold of a used Prophet 12 Module and thought I'd put it to the test with the first 25 of my Patches...Including my Bladerunner sound that I do on everything! I wasn't going to bother getting a Prophet 12 as I was a bit of an Analogue Only type of guy, however I've completely changed my mind, since having the Novation Peak.

Anyway, have done Patches that are 'Analogue' in nature on the Prophet 12 Module and while it only has delays (I love FX) it is a very capable Synth. I'll probably get into more 'Digital' sounds in the next Batch."
