I love the FM Bell Layer patch. I like the 3 Osc Bass Synth one too, somewhat basic but still awesome and more of a classic sound. The Simple & Sublime one is very atmospheric and gives me a huge Pink Floyd vibe, probably why I like it so much. Great demo!
I got a Matriarch earlier than expected in my synth journey due to some unexpected funds; it's still my lovely analog synth to this day. However I think the Summit is going to be a sort of opposite to that; but in such a good way. Hopefully this year. (might get a Hydrasynth or big Cobalt at some point; but Summit is next).
Matriarch is a beautiful instrument. Love mine. I spent a long time debating between the Summit and a Hydrasynth. The polyphonic aftertouch is appealing on the latter, but I ultimately went with the Summit because Novation has been good to me over the years. Love love love it and don't pine for the Hydra anymore.
For me (and many others) a real synth (hardware) is better than a master + vsti.. With vsti you can create any sounds and you have surely better acoustics, but the feeling under your fingers is not the same ;) imho
Working with VSTs you need lots of headroom and still you continue hitting that 0dB limit. Also don't forget that a musician gets attracted to physical instrument and gets inspiration from a real thing. No matter whether it is digital or analog, physical instrument with good interface inspires.
It does sound really nice, but I do like the OB6, I tried one in my local music store and was blown away by how good it sounded, nearly went into £2500.00 in debt, but sanity came back just in time. Sorry dave smith maybe next time after I have done a lot more overtime.
@@DKS-SYNTH-LAB ti spiego al momento sono indeciso fra 3 synth analogici , prophet rev2 , subsequent 37 e il DeepMind 12 .

this is an amazing sounding synth and just as good playing. I had to decide between this and the Hydrasynth and I picked the hydrasynth. I guess I'm just torturing myself by watching this 😅
thank you for your video ! is it the best synth of this decade ? i have no big synth and i would buy a polyvalent machine with big sound : is it the best synth in his category -(2000€) ?
Fantastic sounding demo! Thank you for the awesome music 🎶. This sounds amazing....next on my list..lol. I have a Hydrasynth deluxe sitting downstairs in the box still. Digging in next week. Have a great Holiday Season 😀. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
Really Loving that sound.. its got that Darth Vader Vibe going on.. slightly Inter Galactic Sound, but like Deep-Inter Galactic.. or just Deep Galactic Sound.. I really love... It sounds pure as well.. If I had the money I would buy this indefinitely.. its got a good amount of techniques/knobs/effects ways of manipulating sound which is what i'm looking for... sound is one part, but sound-manipulation is 2nd part.. and being a skillful synthesist.. Real Musical Talent.
Eh, il Summit suona parecchio: digitalmente versatile (e affidabile) e analogico dove serve (amp, filtro, distorsioni). E il bello viene quando si iniziano a creare patch ✨✨ Comunque Dystopian é la patch da intro per eccellenza 😁
Makes sense to me, if I'm going to be playing with the menu settings while I'm playing something to see the results, I'd rather have my left hand on the buttons and my right hand free to play.
The problem is that you hand blocks the screen when you're trying to change patches or adjust setting. The rotary knob should have been placed on the left side of the screen. Not a deal breaker, I love my Summit. But it is a pain in the ass.
@@lb659 I’m getting a summit in a few days, I’m particular about little nuances like this, and to get your way thru a circuit bent alternative would be to make cuts/drills into the board just to get that knob in the particular place, extreme I know but at least it could be done. I won’t do it, too precious lol, can’t wait to get it!
I'd buy these patches just to get a sense of the underlying programming. The bells in Death of a King, Alpine Crystals, and Dream Gazing are fantastic, and Simple&Sublime is a sound I've been trying to program for months and never can manage to get there!
@@swires1 If you still haven't decided the summit would be a much better option than the Iridium (for a hardware beginner) The Iridium is very, very deep. The summit is deep too but it's very easy and quick to dial in useable sounds.
Have they managed to sort the Aftertouch out yet via a firmware update? I was trying it out in a store last year and noticed the Aftertouch on this synth was just awful. It's the same with there midi controler keyboards...absolutely terrible Aftertouch, you have to press seriosly hard down and even then it's crap. Novation just can't seem to do Aftertouch right. It was one of the reasons I purchased the Polybrute instead along with far better modulation.
Absolutely my personal favorite: OB-6 :) very versatile analog synth and you can create any sound with it. Add a long external reverb and it’s perfect.
Pre-loaded with brand new Patches: 384 Single Patches and 384 Multi Patches,each arranged as three banks of 128•Two further User banks for 128 additional Single Patches and 128 additional MultiPatches
The Virus is using obsolete DSP chips. The Peak and Summit use a 12 times higher resolution processor, resulting in a higher quality sound. Plus this has analogue circuitry. So overall, while you wont get some of those crazy Virus sounds, you will get instead ultra high resolution digital oscillators and effects. I used have a TI and my friend still owns one, he also owns a Rev2. The summit really holds it own and sounds incredible when you dial in your patches. Alot of youtube demos dont show the true power.

🙏🏻🙏🏻
A perfect blend of analogue meets digital
Its damn good, though I wish more synths had both VCOs and digital Oscillators.

The Summit is such a great all round synth - super flexible and sounds so lush and chunky in the flesh. Nice patches
Amazing Synth. Well done.
Wonderfull demo and nice factory sounds!

Mi piacerebbe registrare musica al pc alla Ozric Tentacles. Credo questo strumento possa andare bene, cosa ne pensate?

Simply the best synth since the Virus TI. Forget about OB6 and all other analogs. This one is more analog than the new P5 !!
Ummmm...No
It's a great synth, but let's be honest. It's not on the same level as the P5 rv4.

Ciao ti posso chiedere un sconsiglio , voglio prendere il primo synth hardware , ho 1500 di budget cosa mi consigli
Ciao! Che tipologia di synth vuoi? Analogico/virtual analog? Polifonico/monofonico o un qualcosa di più versatile tipo Montage/Fantom etc?

Hey, the Summit is not only a strings-synthesizer..
Eh, il Summit suona parecchio: digitalmente versatile (e affidabile) e analogico dove serve (amp, filtro, distorsioni). E il bello viene quando si iniziano a creare patch ✨✨
Comunque Dystopian é la patch da intro per eccellenza 😁
Rich tones. Reminds me of the ESQ-1.
Esq-1? I don’t hear anything similarities
Com’è pulito… a me piacciono le cose zozze dell’ultranova e dello sledge 😂
Always great to hear a real player run a synth through its paces. Thanks for the video.
Just played one of these today at guitar center. Massive sound, menu being on far left is a bit odd though
Makes sense to me, if I'm going to be playing with the menu settings while I'm playing something to see the results, I'd rather have my left hand on the buttons and my right hand free to play.

Would you not recommend Summit for a hardware beginner in that case? I'm eyeing the Waldorf Iridium too ...
@@swires1 yes! Great sounding synth!
They are factory presets, you don't need to by those patches lol.

don't see these listed on your website
These sounds are factory presets
Awesome - are your patches available for download?
i've only used factory presets for this demo :) so if you have one summit you already have all these sounds!
GREAT video!
I have this awesome synth....:)
But now I have to sell it!
@@gydur Why?
@@kovac_kd Broke
@@gydur how much?
@@silmearendil Sold for 1500 eu
Are these patches going to be available to buy? Currently there's no Summit section on the patch page
All these sounds are presets! 😀😀
With all these genius comments, you should start sell bridges
Best value synth
Best review for this instrument. Thank you
A questo punto la domanda è d’obbligo...Prophet Rev-2 16 o Novation summit?
Per me summit!
Summit
Or Matrixbrute+ Peak even better IMHO
Summit !!!
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Brilliant. But seems to me it cannot match the L/R Binaural of the Super6... which blows my mind. Yes/no?
Between this and the OB6. What is your choice and why?
Absolutely my personal favorite: OB-6 :) very versatile analog synth and you can create any sound with it.
Add a long external reverb and it’s perfect.
@@ErenLight different OB flavour, and of course different price range :) I think they are both amazing syntesizers!!!

Four banks of 127 sounds

@@lb659 ok maby i was to fast replying after just listen to youtube demos,Summit are fore sure a good synth
Since I picked up a Summit I've sold my Virus (which I loved), but it just isn't as lush sounding, especially in the high registers.
Virus has ton of aliasing. Different sound. Not better or worse.
