Mackie Onyx8 8-channel Analog Mixer w/ Multi-Track USB

Novation has come out with a powerful new Wavetable Editor for Peak that unleashes the full power potential of its wavetable oscillators. The Wavetable Editor is packed with functionality to speed up your creative process, including intuitive drawing tools and a Live Edit mode that let you literally draw your own oscillator shapes and preview them ‚Äì all in real time! Quickly create your own oscillator waveforms from imported clips with the Audio Import function. You’ll also find an expertly curated collection of space-themed audio direct from the NASA sound library, plus exclusive content from top EDM producers Noisia. The Wavetable Editor makes Peak more powerful than ever ‚Äì one other great reason to add this advanced synth to your sonic arsenal!

It’s common for manufacturers to provide firmware updates to fine-tune certain features or fix minor bugs. The firmware 1.2 update for Peak adds a ton of functionality that brings Peak to a whole new level. The most notable addition is a selection of 43 wavetables, bringing the onboard total to 60 digital wavetables. You’ll also find additional LFOs, a new Mod Matrix design, an FX Mod Matrix that offers big creative potential, and much more.

From straight up saw waves to frequency-modulated sines, you’ll notice the Novation Peak synthesizer has that punchy, three-dimensional sound analog synths are known for. The key is its numerically controlled New Oxford Oscillators, which sound analog but also give you access to 60 digital wavetables. And with three oscillators available per voice, that’s a ton of sound design potential before you even reach for the analog multimode filter.

When it’s time to make your sounds really come alive, the Novation Peak module doesn’t disappoint. Right from the front panel, you’ve got access to 16 direct modulation assignments to inject some motion into your patches. Beyond that, you’ve got a 16-slot modulation matrix you can use however you like. Want to use aftertouch to control the waveshape of oscillator 2? No problem. Want to control the post-filter distortion amount from the amplitude envelope? Go for it. With this much modulation potential, you’ll always be able to add one more final tweak or highlight to your patch. And don’t forget the FX Mod Matrix ‚Äì you can now make your effects move with your mix by assigning modulators to practically any effects parameters.
