Product Overview
Novation Peak is an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesizer equipped with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. Analog-sounding NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators) and 17 digital wavetables provide two options for creating waveforms. Three distortion points are available for each voice: pre-filter, post-filter, and global. Peak is capable of receiving polyphonic aftertouch and two animate buttons give live performers instant one-touch transformation of patches.
