Enjoy peace of mind at no extra cost
Key Info
Firmware Update V2.0
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.

The Peak of synthesis
The Summit is the result of a culmination of ideas and requested from Novation customers. It incorporates the hands-on design of the Novation Peak with a 61-note keybed. It doubles down on the power of Peak, resulting in this 16-voice, bi-timbral synthesizer.
Suitable for studio and stage, the Summit features a premium-grade 61-note keybed - the same found on the SL MkIII. Get in-depth with your sound design with the myriad of controls and parameters available to you.
Bi-timbral synth engine with three FPGA New Oxford Oscillators
At the heart of the Summit are three FPGA New Oxford Oscillators per voice. This offers a wide range of synthesis modes including subtractive, wavetable and FM synthesis. The oscillators are hosted on the advanced FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip. This allows you to generate authentic analog waveforms and highly textural raw tones.
The oscillators are accompanied by dual analog filters with roots in the Oxford Synthesiser Company's OSCar. This makes it Novation's most innovative collaboration to date with renowned engineer Chris Huggett.
Dual, Split and Layer your sounds
The bi-timbral design allows you to get creative with stacking sounds. The three modes are available when on a Multi Patch. The Layered settings allows you to play both parts of a sound layered on top of each other. This allows you to create your own unique sounds from the combination of two.
The Split setting effectively splits the keyboard in two. The lower end of the keyboard plays Part A and the higher end plays Part B. You can also define your own split point which can be saved as part of the patch. The Dual setting means each part can be played separately. There are additional controls available on the menu, which will then be saved to the multi patch.
Dual analog filters
The dual analog filters architecture, based on the synth legend Chris Huggett’s design of the OSCar. When selecting the 24dB low-pass setting, the signal is run through dual 12dB lowpass filters. The filters can be run parallel or in series into each other. The Filter Frequency will control the cutoff of both filters.
You can also separate the filters to set them at different frequencies. These versatile filters allows you to bring different textures and colours to your sound, ideal for sound design purposes.
In-depth modulation control
The front panel sees the addition of FM modulation, making it easier than any to design sounds. The hands-on precision controls allow you to make quick and informed choices, ideal for the studio and live performances.
The envelope section features hold and looping settings, as well as a Loop switch for each envelope. The envelopes also feature a delay stage for added versatility. Also included are 45mm faders, Voice Mode control, Global LFOs, Arpeggiator Tempo, Rhythm Tempo, Octave and Type controls. You can also create microtuning tables easier than ever before. Simply select a note, change the tuning and repeat. Create everything from atmospheric pads to cutting-edge lead sounds.
Premium-grade factory presets
The Summit comes jam-packed with a wide variety of factory presets. These presets were curated by Particia Wolf, Gforce software and a whole host of other popular sound designers and artists. The presets range from classic sounds to cutting-edge and exclusive presets. All Peak presets are compatible with Summit and can be sent directly to the synth.
Included Software
The Novation Summit also comes with Ableton Live Lite DAW Software to get you started, as well as being part of the Novation Sound Collective.
