Control of Omnisphere
Panel Layout
Ease of Use
Build Quality

The Novation Peak is a very capable synth. The panel has a lot of controls, but don’t let that deter you — the layout is intuitive and everything works great with Omnisphere. You can mix the four Layers, it has three full-featured Oscillators that allow you to select several Wavetables in Omnisphere, you can select different Filter types and slopes, and it has good modulation possibilities and FX controls. If you want to go deeper and do some menu diving, there are some interesting features in the oscillator pages that are worth checking out. Basically, if you want to have a lot of immediate hands-on control without taking up too much space in your studio, this is a good choice.

Novation Peak Strengths:

  • Effects Control
  • Wavetables Control
  • Great Build Quality
  • Intuitive/Powerful layout
