Novation Summit

16-Part Polyphonic Synthesizer Multitimbral on 2 areas , Based on the peak architecture, Semi-weighted 61-key keyboard with velocity response and aftertouch, 3 Oscillators per voice, Doubled analog filters, Analog VCAs and 3 analog distortion ... I have owned the Summit for 2 weeks, so I will keep this review short.

After so much research to find a studio centerpiece synthesizer, I am very happy that I chose this. I liked the look of it from the very beginning; however I was a little worried about the length of the Novation Summit, fitting in my home studio. - Excellent support from Novation But this is why I sent it back, cons : - sound of the filter is neutral, it lacks a bit of character - when using resonance it's easy to get internal clipping - the dual sounds are more difficult to manage - still some menu diving for some features - the oscillator sync sounds too weak for my taste Since I already have a lot of synths, I guess I was looking more for a synth that has a prominent character, like the Prophet 6 or OB6.

For me it ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for: many-voice polyphonic, extensive editing capabilities with plenty of physical controls, interesting modern features, integrated effects, and good midi implementation. The Summit fulfills all of these for me.
