This is the only synth at this price range, and many priced higher, with a sound that truly captivates and hypnotizes me. This video really captures the feel and sound of this wonderful synth. The analog sound is incredibly soothing to the ears. The layout of the knobs and faders is intuitive and hands on, while some other synths get hung up in too much menu diving and not enough sound and music. There's a reasonable amount of menu diving. Cuckoo is making music throughout the process, like playing a fine instrument. Also, soft synths generally sound ridiculous compared to the Peak, and you can't actually touch them. Thank you, Cuckoo for this and other great videos.

Another excellent tutorial. You show how to do something, and offer a reason why. Your comments about exploring the synth to find the sounds the user enjoys are a brilliant creative push. With the depth of the control software, Novation have offered an alternative to the DeepMind at a similar price. Like Sequential vs. Oberheim, two sonically different approaches, both offering new directions in electronic music. As someone who spent much more money on synths many years ago, I am enjoying the modern take. Keep up the excellent shows!

I found your use of 'ring mod' as something like a tremolo with a wavetable of peaks and valleys to indeed be a 'hidden gem' and another example of how Cuckoo finds ways to get synths dancing like a c64, but it's traditional synth architecture doing the work rather than a composer's hand. Brilliant stuff.

Since 2.0 firmware Peak and Summit are a completely new instrument. So much extra features like custom wavetables… And all major issues were fixed. Novation is the best in long term product support. Had the Peak for a year and decided to upgrade to Summit which is 2 Peak combined together with a fine keybed and some advanced features like layering.. Still unbeatable in its price range. Lovely instrument both

My favorite things about the Peak are 1. analog filter 2. The play mode Arp 3. the amazing reverb 4. The ability to subtly mix the “analog” wave forms with the wavetables. I stopped using a sequencer when I first got this because letting the arp go and tweaking th3 knobs was addictive.

I can only think of one other NCO based instrument: The Modal 002 (and its predecessor the 001). It will be interesting for an 'apples to apples' comparison of the raw oscillators- being their sound is generated with the same NCO technology. Edit: Worth mentioning here a reply to someone else: Playing the 002 for the first time- it was immediately apparent something significantly more advanced/ special/ better was happening with its sound. It was (and still is) jaw dropping. It is exciting to think the Peak has the same sound generation technology as an instrument nearly 4 times its price.

In 8k?! Are we there now, that people start expecting 8k?? That’s sick! Yeah I’ve tried the Summit. It’s an upgrade for sure. I think the most substantial difference is that it has twice the polyphony/ power, opting for interesting multi layer sounds and split and stuff. I don’t have one though. My focus lies elsewhere for now.

Thanks. I was mostly using it through the beta period. But I brought it out a few months ago again and completed my first Peak pack that I had started working on around launch. I was very happy when the FM was enhanced in time for the shipping firmware. It’s useful. I feel like it’s got a lot of potential, and it’s got one of the best modulation matrix systems out there. But for my taste I don’t feel like I get anything for free when I design a sound with it. It’s a blank page that sounds fairly bland at first (to my ears). It takes dedication to craft a sound and lift it to the sky. I have found a few methods that I particularly like :) Like pitching down one of the oscillators way low, and using that as a source of sample like grit through Ring modulation among other things makes me pretty happy :)
@umonox
@umonox 6 жыл бұрын
Thats sad to hear mate. Especially if you consider that you nailed a lot of sweet Spots in this Video here. But ... I got one myself for a couple of weeks now and i can agree: If you hit that Initialize Button everything's very "flat" in the beginning and it doesnt sound interesting until you start modulating the right things. In fact, you often have to use the Post Filter Drive as a starting Point to get a more solid Sound, Wavetable Selection is still very limited ... i also noticed that the Resonance of the Filter doesnt "kick in" as hard as it should. Using either the Low-Pass or High-Pass Filter to boost the Bass Fundament is therefore not as easy - this can become tedious, balancing the Frequency towards the Key Tracking and often it still doesnt sound "right", you know. If i do the same with the Analog Four i have a solid Bass in seconds :-) But - the Pads are just amazing on the Peak! Using only the first Oscillator with a Square-Wave, a fast LFO modulating its Shape and the UniSpread Parameter set to 127 (this way you get Stereo Note Spread without actually using Unison) leads to some pretty sweet sounding "Strings" - now add the Chorus to that and the Reverb and play 4 Notes at least - and there you go. Amazing Pad done in seconds with one single Oscillator! It really seems that the Peak comes into its own when you modulate things quite heavily. Probably because this is where the power (and advantage) of using FPGAs really sits. But thats just a guess.
@truecuckoo
@truecuckoo 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah.. I also find the filter to be a bit under the mark. But a lot of Brits seem to really like it. Perhaps it’s got a British sound? When I’m designing sounds I’m typically not using the filter until at the very end. I try to be clever and solve everything before the filter. It’s much easier to get an FM bass than a filter bass for instance. That way I can use the filter as a modest “EQ” adjustment towards the end, instead of letting it fundamentally shape the sound.

Question to cuckoo or anyone else: I have a Prophet 6, Virus Ti2, Sub37, Minibrute & Ultranova. I currently would like to get rid of the UN (got analog poly sound covered from other polys) & MB (no patch saving or cc's out are limiting in DAW rig). My question is this. Given what I want to keep, P6, Virus, Sub 37, would adding a Novation Peak help round my sonic palette? Or is Peak too similar to Ultranova (wavetables wise)? Or am I'm covered poly wise and in that case am pondering a Matrixbrute. Would the more complete setup be P6, Virus, Peak, Sub37 or P6, Virus, Matrixbrute , Sub37 ?
@truecuckoo
@truecuckoo 7 жыл бұрын
Having not tried any of these synths except the Peak, more or less, I'm tempted to say that the MatrixBrute might be the most interesting of the bunch. The Peak is compact and fast, but it lacks some of that edge and identity in my opinion. It can be used to make great sounds, especially after the final update which kicked the FM synthesis going too. But the Matrix Brute is more open, and from the demos I've been hearing myself, it has a clear and distinct sound, which I like. I'm not sure the Matrix Brute can do absolutely everything the Peak can, but it has a lot more open possibilities for sure. Having said that, the portability and ease of use are important factors to take into account too. The Peak clearly winning in this regard. Compact and easy to use.
@index7787
@index7787 7 жыл бұрын
I've had a Matrix Brute and Peak for a couple weeks now (can't decide which to return, you really can't go wrong with either) and I've had a sub 37, circuit, and minilouge for awhile. Both are easy to patch and quite powerful. The Peak samples at over 24,000,000 time a sec, any aliasing is way out of audible range, dial in an analog sound and you would never know it was a hybrid. It can be very lively, but you have to consciously add the sauce. It's a scalpel, it only does what you asked it to but it has a very high skill ceiling. It can sound "better" than the Mbrute and even hold it's own against a Sub 37 (Moog filters are hard to beat man) but the magic has to come from you. Aside from the lovely interface, its not going to lend you any assistance. The reverb is f***ing amazing, it is so high resolution, they put a h*ll of a chip in there and you can hear it. The matrix brute has more character by default, it just instantly sounds good or even great. The two main VCO's are more like 2 sets of 3 for 6 waves total, they are pushing wavetable levels of texture control but they are hard to animate like a wave table can and doing so burns up your mod slots, LFO's and envelopes. The sequencer is amazing. The keys are a functional 7/10 compared to my SV-1.(best I've ever played) The MatrixB wins on speed of patching with its physical matrix. That kind of guess and check speed is unrivaled, it's an awesome work flow. I would lean towards the Peak for your set up just because you have a Sub 37 already covering the mono and funk and you (as I would assume from your gear) are proficient enough at synthesis unlock it's potential. That's what its coming down to for me at least. Hope I could help, ask me anything if you want.

Chase Wood Hey Chase, thank you for your through response and personal insight. I am really drawn to the Matrixbrute for the immediacy of workflow and versatility of sound. At the same time however, Peak seems really bridge the boundary sonically between digital and analog really well for interesting sequences and pads. Owning the Virus TI2 Desktop and Prophet 6, would you say I would get more sonic variety from adding the Peak the a Matrixbrute? Including the Sub37, the Virus and P6 are main synths. Would another poly be worth it compared to have a second analog mono to have variety with Sub37? Or is Sub37 sonic territory close enough to Matrixbrute to warrant Peak being a better addition to expanding to My sonic pallet given what I have verse Matrixbrute?

Let's see. If it's FPGA based, the entire contents of that can be changed. I would assume the wavetables are stored in some flash. Some FPGAs will have embedded flash, or it could be external. In any case, that might make the tables customizable. Of course they'll need to support it in some way through the on-board OS and what not.

I think you are on the right track. I am to scared to try and hack mine yet but I have cracked it open and poked around with a multi meter. If you could get into the code, you could make that FPGA do literally anything. It appears to have possessing power to spare for most sounds, but it shifts to fill current needs so it's hard to figure out exactly whats going on. It should be crackable, custom firmware even if you could figure it out.

I can turn down all effects, vca gain, oscillator outputs, overdrive, distortion, and noise, and end up with the exact same amount of hiss that I have when turning the aforementioned on. The noise floor is greater than any vintage piece of gear I have and it is NOT a ground loop. Very bummed.

First of all awesome tutorial and very helpful. I really appreciate it. I guess the 'my patches' is your MEGA pack what is available on your site right? Does these new ones also there what you made in this video? As far as I know you cannot have effect parameter as a destination right? Can you imagine they will make it happen with an update? Also I guess I cannot set the synth to open up to the last patch I used right? I have an ultranova as well it doesn't do that also. So 1990... Anyway thanks again. Somebody says create your own sounds instead of try to find good presets so I tried with ultranova but it is not the best synth to learn synthesis so many menu diving not so instant results and the sound is less powerful for me but maybe I was too noob for that but the point is this synth is much more inspirational for me. Especially with this reverb. Tell them to make effect units!

Sorry cuckoo but this synth isn’t made for glitchy patches. This is a lush masterpiece.

This is tutorial #1. Is there (ever gonna be) also a #2? Or did I completely missed it? Great vid btw. I like most of your custom sounds over the build in ones. :)

Im really into this synth...I love it...but Im having a tough time convincing myself to buy it when the Behringer Deepmind 12D is only £829, has 12 note polyphony, loads more effects and has insane connectivity options that include midi over wifi. Please can someone out there convince me to buy a Peak...what would make you buy a Peak and not the Behrigner??

The deepmind is an analogue synth. This means it is limited in sound-design due to basic wave forms. The Peak may be digital - it's FPGA based engine with insane oversampling (24 million times per second) yields the closest to analogue possible sound ever but because it has way more wave forms to start from, the sound generation options are almost endless. Sound is a matter of taste so if I say I prefer the peak above the D12, many people will agree and as many will disagree. In the end it is entirely up to you. If you equally like the sound of both, things like looks may be decisive. The deepmind feels like cheap plastic and looks like complete shit to me. But once again that is very subjective. Still not convinced? The Peak is manufactured in the UK where people are being paid a reasonable salary. The Deepmind come from somewhere in China or Malaysia or wherever people are paid perhaps 50 dollars a month. Stil not convinced? Hey, you, go get that motherfukkin' PEAK, NOW! :-D

Behringer products are probably assembled by children... I would personally never buy Behringer products except for a X32 ; yet the overall quality has seemed to evolve since they are part of Music Tribe.

@@louisrmusic I have read some things about Behringer's Tech Support that is not good. A guy that bought the Model D wanted to get the firmware upgrade and Behringer wanted a copy of his Proof of Purchase. Now, if he bought it brand new, that might not be a problem, and depending on who he bought it from, he should be able to produce an invoice. But Behringer is nit picking in my opinion. Also, although I understand their QC has improved, I don't know that I would spend the money on one of their instruments and be confident of years of service of their instrument. Novation has been around a long time and the Peak is a quality made instrument. You can price shop it and get it below MAP. If you have a controller or a KB that has an action you like, you don't have to spend money on yet another keyboard. I like the Peak, I'll pass on Behringer. You get what you pay for,

The keystep was a good choice.... Small enough to not take center stage and powerful enough to provide a good walkthough.

Just out of curiosity Are you sidechain compressing, or more specifically ducking your voice with the peak's signal out ?
