Features:

• Two Peaks in one synth - and then some: The 16-voice, multitimbral engine combines two simultaneous patches. Split or stack them for keyboard-divided or layered sounds, or switch the entire synth between two separate and independently controlled setups, perhaps using one as an effects processor for an external input source. Also, Summit can use all your Peak patches.
• Our best keyboard ever: Five-octave, semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch - the same premium-quality keybed as introduced with our SL MkIII controller keyboard.
• New Oxford educated: Digital New Oxford Oscillators are capable of subtractive, FM and wavetable synthesis. Waveforms are generated directly on the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip, using 24MHz bitstream processing; and adjustable drift and divergence emulate the inherent and often desirable instability of analogue circuits.
• True analogue filters and distortion: The New Oxford Oscillators output to true analogue filters, with origins in the classic OSCar synth, and three stages of analogue distortion give you ample saturation options.
• Dual filters: Summit's dual filter is switchable between six paired combinations of low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes at 12dB/octave, or any single mode at 24dB/octave, for a broad range of sonic possibilities.
• Hands-on sound design: Packed with modulation sources for deep sound design - LFOs, envelopes, Animate buttons and more. Extended controls see FM parameters, envelope loop switches and LFOs 3/4 moved from Peak's menu system to the front panel, for easy programming and tweaking.
• Audio in and auxiliary audio out: Hook up external instruments for processing with Summit's onboard effects, while using it as a synth at the same time.
• Powerful effects: Onboard reverb, chorus and delay effects are hosted on the FPGA. They're also controlled directly from the front panel, and available as modulation targets in the dedicated FX Mod Matrix.
• Includes Wavetable Editor
• 3 Year Warranty: Effective on purchases from 1st January 2018 and covers 36 months from the date of the original purchase
