The more I look at this, the more I NEED it! Like an enormous Bass Station II. Three oscillators per voice, wavetables, plenty of modulation, nice filter section, FX, CV in.. Can't wait to hear more of it.
Hi Izzy, in the SETTINGS Menu, there is a parameter called "Pickup". When you turn it on, the knobs have no effect on that parameter until they pass through the actual saved value of that knob. So, you can have it either way. Thanks for watching!
If I didn't have my prophet 6 already, I would consider getting this. BUT then I'd probably still go for the p6 since it is my dream synth. Very cool and good job from Novation though!!
I wonder why they chose only to have CV-input and not CV-out. Seems like they already had the necessary structures within the design to allow full CV if it can do CV-in. Regardless, this looks and sounds like a great synth and if I hadn't just bought a Sledge 2 I would probably want to save up the extra cash to get one of these. I'll have to settle with having more fun with my Novation Circuit instead! Great job, Novation.
what kind of processing is going on post-Peak in that signal chain? that Ticker Tape patch does not sound like mine. the one in the video is gorgeous, very muted and lp filtered while i cant filter any more without losing most of the harmonic content, clicky but still full and very saw-like while mine has a pulse wave, sharper enveloped when i can't get the envelopes to snap down any faster for tighter transients without losing any of the body is there some sort of hardware compressor in there? an lpg, a vactrol controlled vca amp?
Hi christdolphin69. The outputs of the Novation Peak were connected directly to the Audio Input of the video camera. To the best of my knowledge, no post processing was applied to the stereo audio track. But if you find a device that can single-handedly improve all of the aspects you mentioned, please let us know! -_Daniel_
The unit demonstrated is running the first OS with no updates, the OS and function have been updated in the 3 and a half years since its release so its probable that some sounds are not going to be identical. I got My peak yesterday and its highly likely that My Peak does not 100% match the sounds comming from the ones 4 years ago due to the software updates which I think My one is 3. Somthing.
New comers fall for the analog hype way too easily. people with a bit more experience know that analog isn't the end to it all, that you can get different timbres out of more feature rich oscillators and interesting movement from more modulation sources. I was considering a System 8 because it went a little bit further than the Dm12 but this one goes beyond, much more interesting.
Yeah one is not superior to the other, each has their strengths and weaknesses. But there is nothing wrong with wanting a pure analog setup because of preference. It's a bit silly though if they're just concerned about the label and nothing else.
@@mikeexits The idea was the substantially increased audio source quality and depth of the Oxford digital oscillators that enable it to be compatible to a the depth of analog source oscillators. That's the point of it and makes sence to Me.
Multitimbral synths are relics from the 1970s. These days how many polysynths that aren't romplers are multitimbral? And cannot you not afford a DAW, which has more or less made the multitimbral synth obsolete?
In the digital age that we live in, we are lucky that companies are still building analog synths at all. But inexpensive multitrack recording means multitimbral synths are not in high demand. You can find a few bi-timbral analog polysynths like the Prophet Rev 2, but in general the niche multitimbral analog polysynths is too small and production costs too high.
Multitimbral is still very nice to make a big sounding Combi patch program but granted that I don`t really care that much if my Nord Rack 2x for example can be like 4 different Synths at once but due to expense it`s not worth people making Analog Synths multitimbral, they would just say `hey if you want that then buy another one eh ?`
5:35 - I love how this guy is telling us what the animate button does without actually pressing and showing them, as almost everywhere in the video. Why did you bring the synth even to the studio? Just describe us how it looks like and leave the rest to our imagination.
Most hardware sythersizors sounds can be replicated using software sythersizors like Serum even 15 years ago I used Reason Daw and in there you can combine multiple soft sythersizors into a single device and have like 50 oscillators and 50 LFOs if you want as the only limet to software sythersizors is the power of your computer. Software sythersizors can and will always outdo physical sythersizors hence why most Gear including Navation Sythersizors like Ultranova and Peak have a software plugin or software editor.

Extremer Synthesizer. Etwas vom Feinsten, das bei mir in der Hütte steht. Kann jedem wärmstens empfohlen werden.
I was like, damn this guy looks just like Ricky Tinez! So Im googling Enrique Martinez only to find out.. dundundun He is Ricky Tinez! lol 🤦🏻♂😂
Great demonstration and explanation Enrique. Thanks. You are making me buy one!

Love my BS2 btw
The sound at the very end is the most interesting by far -- I'd love to hear that kind of patch played with a keyboard that has polyphonic aftertouch.

If you're interested in CV out check out DSI Pro 2.
To either modulate external modules, or as a MIDI->CV converter. The Pro 2 has 4 assignable CV outs.
Wow I've got this peak it's incredible
Great investment
Why no audio in ;( I wanted to send my other synth through the filter
I would have preferred an audio in or something over so-so built-in FX. The distortion and filter alone are lovely.
This! Makes a lot of sense. PPG / ESQ modernized with lots of control?. I actually miss the sequencer on the ESQ though.

I have two launchpad pros ...yep one is taking an off ramp to peakville
Does those cool Side stand Leg adapter thingies come with it, or do they sell separate ? Cool look + style
They are sold separately, sweetwater have them for 109.00
sounds very cool ;)

Cool !
this and some other gear or a dsi ob6... such decissions are hard to make
ON my to buy list ;)
Linear FM !! 😃
NCO?
Love you Mitch...but what the hell are you doing here?
i don't know but remember me the Roland JP-8080
Wow! There's still people who believe they can sell more synths by talking than by playing them!
,
so,the conterstors are Behringer dm12..,or at this price you have other synths with a big sound?
BigPrice and not Multitimbral?
Dont get to nervous mate, the OSC's are not analog
Otherwise, its a great synth

Lucky?,not really,analog is hot again;the market wants them?,we build them.
Trying to find the "demo" as stated in the title but no matter where I click into the video I just hear talking, with very, very few exceptions.

3:25
hah lol ..they are an incredible patronising couple...do they think we are stupid?
RRP?
$1,299.99
@ $2000.00 ( on Amazon)
🤔
Ughhh wish we could have a multi-timbral analog synth. Stick with my ESQ-1
That would be lovely but I've heard too many horror stories and the price is equally horrific :D
Any suggestions for modular builds? There is also the Parva which looks more and more interesting.
alesis ION and put the outputs into the inputs of Waldorf 2-pole filter for a price close to - nothing? :-D
Talk talk talk
K2
Anytime this Sweetwater guy is in a demo you can rest assured they'll be little musical activity and a lot of premeditated jibber jabber.
foggydrifty I like that he gets into the details of the synth.
What can this do that Serum or similar soft synth can't do? (Just curious, not trolling)

Sound more analogue and far lower CPU cost.
NO KEYBOARD VERSION!?!?!?!?!?
Ahhh okay, so my GEM S3 Turbo board would kill it then ... poor man's CS80 set-up :) ! looks very interesting...
I'm from the future Summit
Unbelievable. 14+ minutes and no playing any sounds till the end. And then what a wasted effort of playing.
3:25 lol
Watch out for Trump et........knob......?
nothing we haven't seen before yawn.
Dude! Use of the word "um" and only using the filter cut off is not going to sell this item to analog addicts..
A lot of talking.. and 20s of a demo ^^
