Novation Summit
The Novation Summit is a flagship 16-voice bi-timbral hybrid synthesizer: two complete Peak engines in one premium 61-key instrument, capable of vast splits, layers and some of the biggest polysynth sounds available.
Each voice runs three Oxford oscillators, digital NCOs with classic waveforms and wavetables that behave with analogue-style character, driven through genuine analogue multimode filters (with dual-filter configurations on Summit), analogue distortion and VCAs. Three envelopes and two LFOs per voice, FM and extensive modulation routing feed a deep architecture, finished by chorus, delay and reverb effects. Bi-timbral operation splits or layers two independent patches across the 61-key semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch.
Connectivity includes audio input for processing external signals through the filters and effects, CV modulation input, dual stereo outputs, MIDI I/O and USB. DjLab supplies genuine Novation in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“The Summit has a plenty of power: 16 voices X 3 discrete Oxford oscillators per voice, and 4 FX at the same time, and despite the 3 bugs I listed, its a solid synth that I believe Novation will be improving upon for sometime to come.”Read full review →
“Summit is the best of the already-great Peaks, with double the polyphony and all the criticisms from my Peak review addressed. It has much more in the way of sonic-shaping, a unique and huge tone palette suitable for all styles of electronica, ...”Read full review →
“Today, the concept has resurfaced in the Summit which, to paraphrase myself, takes Novation's best synthesizer, sticks two of them in a single box, and adds new features that promise to make the bi-timbral whole even greater than the sum of its parts. I wonder if it has worked? To understand the Summit you first have to understand the Peak, which was reviewed by Paul Nagle in the Sound On Sound May 2017 issue.”Read full review →
“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.”Read full review →
