Novation Peak 8-Voice Desktop Polyfone Synthesizer met 2 LFO's per stem, 16-sleufmodulatiematrix, 3 analoge vervormingspunten en digitale effecten.

J'ai hésité car le produit est tout de même à un prix élevé, mais il les vaut largement. La qualité de construction et de finition est parfaite pour une grande richesse de fonctionnalités. Trois oscillateurs complets avec les formes d'ondes classiques et 60 tables d'ondes depuis la mise à jour (17 initial), deux LFO complets, ainsi que deux nouveaux depuis la mise à jour pour moduler les effets notamment (en provenance de son grand frère le Summit), grande possibilité de modulation, dont FM qui offre une palette de son des plus variés. Des filtres analogiques qui sont un des points forts du synthé, et des effets aussi très bons. La Reverb a beaucoup de profondeur. L'essentiel est à portée de main, mais des paramètres sont aussi accessible depuis le menu (oscillateurs, LFO, filtres, effets etc.) pour affiner le son dans les moindres détails. Le son au départ peut d'ailleurs sembler un peu moyen, surtout les présets sont mauvais, mais quand on commence à maîtriser l'instrument ce n'est que du plaisir ! On ajoute la polyphonie (8 voix), l'Unisson, et tant d'autres paramètres.... Bref ne faites pas comme moi, n'hésitez pas !

This is a synth that I've wanted ever since I missed out on buying the JP8080 many years ago. It just begs to be touched and tweaked, like any good instrument should. That is why I bought it, because software, and even my Virus TI Polar, just don't encourage you to experiment like this does.Although the synthesis options are pretty restrictive compared to many software VSTs, and my Virus, the overall sound is definitely a step up. Incredibly lush, organic, and pretty versatile. This thing excels at pads, arps and soaring lead sounds. Helped a lot by its absolutely lovely digital reverb, which is really, really smooth sounding. Great when paired with a bit of analogue distortion too of course.Together with the analogue filter I find that this is all the analogue I need in a synth. It sounds fat, and it sounds thick, and it sounds good. Sure, it won't go out of tune like a Deep Mind or Moog will, but I have never really been convinced by the argument that digital recordings of analogue instruments are inherently better than digital recording of analogue-emulating digital instruments. This thing just sounds great, and I guarantee it'll be used in commercial releases for years to come.The slight shortage of modulation options compared to software can actually push you to be more inventive and creative with the ones that are there. I find myself just trying them all, since there aren't too many, and have stumbled on some great accidental results that way. The restricted polyphony and lack of multi-timbrality also mean that I focus more on the quality of each patch I use it for, which is better in the long run than relying purely on huge layers of multiple synths and patches. I would probably still like a few more modulation sources added eventually though, as they did with the recent firmware update.That said, there are definitely some sounds it isn't suited to making. You will struggle to make a tight fullon psytrance bassline directly with this synth for example, mainly because the envelopes just don't offer anywhere near as much control as, say, Serum. Of course you can always just create a distorted saw bass tone and resample it, but I find Serum to be better suited to very precise envelope control with its bezier curves and the many more filter options. YMMV.The filter on this is worth mentioning specifically. It is very good, extremely smooth and sweet sounding. I just wish there were two of them so we could route oscillators along two paths...Overall I am enjoying exploring this synth very much.

Bello da vedere, da toccare e soprattutto da suonare. Suono pulito, preciso e terribilmente stupendo. Se lo collegando via MIDI a un iPad e con un’applicazione seria, il divertimento è garantito. A volte lo si può usare come relax machine: collegando un iPad e mettendo una sequenza in loop (ottima Navichord) con un suono a vostro gradimento e aggiustando LFO, il delay o il reverb e avrete costruito in pochi passaggi la vostra relax room adatta per la lettura, lavoro o studio. Ma se volete fare sul serio questo è un ottimo strumento per fare musica di qualità. Ha tutti i muscoli necessari per produrre suoni di qualità ed è completamente programmabile e aggiornabile nei suoni via Components di Novation. Lo sto scoprendo un po’ alla volta e fino ad ora è stato divertente e intuitivo. Non ho letto il manuale per intero ma per chi ha qualche rudimento è una macchina praticamente facile e divertente da usare. Non lo spegneresti più...

I've been a VST addict for years. I own a ridiculous number of virtual instruments, and I've tried a lot of software synthesizers, but I slowly realized I never used most of these tools to their full potential.I decided to get into hardware because I was constantly distracted by notifications and all the capabilities of a computer. With this synth, I found myself easily creating patches because I can give my full attention to the synth.The sound quality easily beats a lot of the software synths out there. To me, this synth sounds like Massive X - something contemporary and versatile. I've begun using it for almost everything except bass. (I prefer the clarity of Serum or Omnisphere)It's an awesome instrument that has improved my creativity and workflow.

sehen sehr edel aus, aber der Preis ist etwas hoch
