Novation Peak

I think I had never touched a synth so deep before. Well, Blofeld maybe. But this one is clearly more direct, and sounds sooooo good, way better!
Extremely impressed!

Listening to that, so beutifull.

Heureux homme.
I wait to refund my walet and find good second hand price, it will be my next synth

LyingDalai · February 9, 2019, 10:43am

I got mine second hand on Audiofanzine. It’s like new

elenacortes · February 9, 2019, 10:55am

Hey you ! Was it the Tinhu ones ?
You have it this week from Bordeaux ?
If right, one more time you get me on the line.
Haha, next time I will be the winner !

Exactly !

With his Waldorf Quantum, Baloran the River, Prophet XL, Moog Model D… the Peak was a bit too much for him

Pure luck I found his offer, but I’m sure you’ll get a good deal too when the time is right

elenacortes · February 9, 2019, 1:09pm

Ha ha, you win at 5 minutes before me to contact Tinhu. A beautifull match. Maybe he will sold me his quantum one day

Thing is, I have now totally converted my money into synths… This was the last one I would ever buy. Ever. Promise.

I just impulsively ordered a Peak

(ps. I guess the hint is already in your username)

Anybody else had a rather high noise level on their Peak? I send mine back, ordered a new one, becausse its such a wonderful device, but the noise was bothering me.

BTW:, we are talking about 60db usable dynamic range, measured with a -12db signal and a noise floor at -72db. Some would not consider this a problem…

Hawk · February 20, 2019, 2:42pm

Are you using the main outs or the headphone output, and do you have the output volume knob set to maximum by any chance?

ZaBong · February 20, 2019, 3:04pm

Hi,

with the Init patch leveled such that I get -12db, the main volume is at around 12 o’clock. Using the headphone out does not change anything wr. to noise.

It would be nice if someone here could replicate this: set volume so a note on the init patch goes to -12db in your daw. Now reset the peak measurement and tell us how high the noise floor is. Mine was at -70 to -72 db.

Thanks,

K

Have you calibrated the synth after updating to 1.2?

plusn · February 20, 2019, 7:42pm

Did you read this? And did you upgrade to OS 1.2?

ZaBong · February 20, 2019, 7:51pm

Upgraded, and recalibrated. Will tell tomorrow how the replacement Peak is doing.
