The Novation Summit 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer Essentials Bundle provides the ultimate synth rig for producers and keyboardists. At its core is Novation's flagship Summit synthesizer—a powerhouse instrument combining innovative digital oscillators with classic analog warmth. Bundled with a keyboard stand, sustain pedal and bench, you'll have everything needed to unlock Summit's vast sonic potential in the studio or on stage.

Sculpt Unique Tones With Digital Oscillators

Each of Summit's 16 voices contains three advanced New Oxford digital oscillators capable of generating complex, nuanced waveforms. The included Wavetable Editor software lets you import audio files or choose from an expansive preset library to craft your own unique wavetables. With Summit's hybrid signal path, these digital oscillators interact with analog filters and distortion circuitry for tones that are rich, dynamic and distinctly modern.

Express Yourself on a Premium Keybed

Summit's semi-weighted 61-note keyboard with aftertouch responds to the subtlest details in your playing. As you dig into the keys, you'll be able to create swells and embellishments that bring static patches to life. The natural pivot point and solid keybed provide the satisfying feel of a high-quality instrument. Whether comping chords or soloing, Summit's keyboard allows for maximum expression.

Effortless Live Layering and Switching

With its multitimbral engine, Summit lets you layer or split two completely independent patches—each with its own arpeggiator and effects chains. This powerful capability makes it easy to create huge, evolving sonic textures. You can also switch between sounds seamlessly with no audio dropouts. Whether crafting lush atmospheres or calling up a new lead, Summit keeps your performance flowing.

Everything You Need for Studio and Stage

This Essentials Bundle equips you with premium accessories to start playing Summit right away. The double-braced keyboard stand provides a sturdy platform for long studio sessions or live shows. The included sustain pedal affords precise control over held notes and effects. And the padded bench keeps you comfortable during rehearsals and gigs. With these bundled extras, you'll be ready to unleash Summit's massive synth power in any musical setting.

For producers and keyboardists seeking an uncompromising hybrid synth with limitless sound design potential, look no further than the Novation Summit 16-voice polyphonic synthesizer Essentials Bundle. With its cutting-edge oscillators, expressive keyboard and bundled accessories, Summit is a premier instrument for modern music creation.
