Novation Summit 16-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer Travel Bundle

Unleash boundless creativity with this hybrid powerhouse synth.



The Novation Summit 16-Voice polyphonic synthesizer Travel Bundle gives you a flagship instrument loaded with cutting-edge synthesis technology and premium playability, plus essential travel accessories. This pro-level synth is equally at home in the studio or on stage, providing an inspiring palette of rich analog and digital tones. With a premium keybed, multitimbral engine and powerful editor software, Summit opens up new realms of creative expression and sound design.



Unrivaled Synthesis Power and Flexibility

At the core of Summit are three New Oxford oscillators per voice, each capable of producing classic analog waveforms, wavetables or any blend in between. The hybrid signal path lets you explore the entire spectrum, from traditional analog tones to advanced wavetable synthesis. With 16 voices of polyphony, you can craft dense, evolving pads and textures that shimmer with harmonically rich character. Summit's multitimbral engine allows seamless splitting and layering of two completely independent patches, each with its own arpeggiator and effects.



Design Your Own Sounds With Wavetable Editor

Summit's innovative wavetable oscillators give you a direct path to customizing your own waveforms and samples. The included Wavetable Editor software provides intuitive drawing tools to sculpt new waves from scratch or import your own audio clips. Instantly audition your designs in real time using Live Edit mode. An extensive library of presets provides inspiration for your own creations, including space-y sounds contributed by NASA and artist presets from Noisia. With this level of hands-on sound design control, Summit's sonic potential is truly limitless.



Expressive Performance From a Premium Keybed

Summit's premium five-octave keybed translates your most nuanced playing into sound with precision and feeling. The semi-weighted keys respond naturally to velocity and pressure, while aftertouch allows for real-time timbral modulation. Whether playing chords, basslines or soaring leads, Summit's keybed captures the subtleties and dynamics that breathe life into a performance. Its balanced action invites you to lose yourself in marathon studio sessions or spontaneous onstage improvisations.



Everything You Need To Get Started

This bundle equips you with all the essentials to integrate Summit into your studio or stage rig. A durable keyboard stand keeps Summit at the perfect playing height and angle. A damped sustain pedal provides authentic piano-style sustain control. A heavy-duty molded case protects your synth while traveling between gigs. With premium accessories and Novation's peerless sound engine, this bundle has everything you need to unlock Summit's full creative potential.



For serious producers and keyboardists, Summit represents the pinnacle of Novation's legacy of synth innovation. Whether conjuring classic analog tones or exploring new realms of wavetable synthesis, Summit is an instrument that will inspire your music for years to come.
