The Novation Summit is a digital synth built on the Novation Peak desktop synth. When you first hear the Summit you would think this was an analog synth, it sounds beautiful and incredibly warm like a analog synth does, but in fact the Summit is a digital synth with digital oscillators, but the filters are analog and this is where the warmth comes from. Playing this synth is truly pleasant experience. Novation has really created a well crafted great sounding synthesizer, as they have done in the past with the Ultranova/Nova series. That being said the Summit sounds much warmer and analog than the Nova series. Highly recommended if you can afford it and are looking for this specific sounding engine.
SYNTHREV RATING: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BUT PRICEY
PROs - 16 voice polyphonic, multiple LFOs and Envelopes - Great sounding synth, very analog and warm. - Can create lush sounds as well a powerful one.
CONs - Pricey, at launch it was listed at USD $2199
