this synth does really create some gorgeous retro vibes. I guess this would be an affordable alternative to an ob6 desktop

Several nice patches with the filter closed down for a mellow/warm tone. Just what I love to hear...!

This was the demo I was looking for tonight - the sounds I wanted to hear played by a player on a real keyboard rather than just sequences alone - great stuff, great patches, many thanks.

Man, first demo, out of many watched, that really got to me with this synth. Great work, seriously.

Wow! The patch at 3:08 is a wonderful homage to the D-50 patch "Soundtrack" which is one of my favorite original presets from that board. (I used to own a D-50 and I still have a D-550.) Wonderful programming! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! Peace.

Nice patches man! This synth is in my opinion the best new thing of the past years. Sounds pretty analogue and has the digital advantages and flexibility. I need one.

Best demo I've heard of the Peak...will try to audition one myself now....

This is one of the best demos I've heard. Great job!

I appreciate your demo very much. Very happy to see a demo with some nice pads and big chords, those were missing from youtube! Cheers

Your soft, ambient sounds are really nice.

That sounds really good: Warm, bright, analog ... it's all in the Peak. I am glad, that I orderd one.

I love these sounds! Bought them, put them on my Peak, love ‘em even more!! Apparently a second bank is in the making. Cannot wait.

Real nice synthwave retro wave feel here

This instrument is on my wishlist for a while and your demo puts it higher on that list

Awesome demo, that synth sounds beautiful !

Alphacode did a damn good job on these patches!

Ok… I "liked" the video and subscribed. I bought a Peak in early December. THESE sounds are ALL along the lines of what appeals to me about analog synths generally… VERY NICE WORK. I noticed below your comment about offering these (roughly 100 sounds) for sale… I definitely want them. I'll hang on as I also read you're under the weather with the flu (get better soon).

Wow these sound great! Very JUPITER 8

Wow! I just loaded this bank and the patches are simply flawless. Well worth it, I say!

This synth has a really cool New Wave feel to it

Amazing demo, really loving it!

Definitely the best video on the Peak I have seen.

Wow great sounds! Love the lead around 8:20. These sounds could make me buy a Peak

If i manage to buy this synth soon, I'm definitely buying your pack, gorgeous sounds!

Get a multi midi, and multi mixer (each cost like $50), then if you have another synth, boom, multi timbral. I tri timbral sometimes with the Peak, the mililogue xd, and the mc707. You can get the mc101 or the minilogue xd module for $500 each. Both are great machines to supplement the peak, and they do their own individual awesome things. The 101 for example is also not just a sound module, but also sampler and drum machine. The minilogue xd module is its own nice analog niceness (unique character). You can get a used Peak for 1,000 even if you keep your eye out.

Fantastic Sound !!!!!

I have the Peak too. Your patch is so great.

I think the best use of the Peak really is with the wavetables. It really gives it its own unique sound.

David Knight Yup, guess not. I think most new synth gear is likely going to happen at Knobcon or Superbooth. Seems this Namm was more guitar oriented.

I just want to chime in. I finally got a chance to load this patch library and test it out. It's easily the best patch library I've ever used; for any synth. It sounds like a collection of vintage synths got crammed into your Peak. I cannot recommend it enough. Loads of warmth and texture. Very musical. Totally usable. Once again I'm reminded of how terrible the factory patches represent what the Peak is capable of. These patches prove the Peak is on par with the best of the best (Moogs, Prophets, etc); and few people realize it 'cause it never sounds this good.

I myself make patch libraries and sell them, but hearing this demo, I can honestly say I will be picking these up when my summit arrives. Absolutely stellar work. These are thoughtful and very very well constructed patches. They're almost the opposite of the one's I make, which is exactly why I love them so much. They're like a modern take on timeless tones and timbres found in legendary analog polysynths from the 70s, and 80s. Great sounding synths require great sounding patches and these really show it off. These should be bank A on a stock peak or summit in my opinion. Great work buddy.

These sound gorgeous. I got the Peak 2 weeks ago and I'm loving building patches with it. With this video and some of the sounds I've made myself, I'm wondering mostly why Novations preset bank A and B sound so horrible.

I liked the bass patches best, I'm not a big fan of the Peak but you made some good sounds.

To me, this is the best synth released in the last five years. Don’t get why so many people dislike it. Sadly for me, it’s too expensive for my small budget, and I tend to prefer smaller boxes. I know it’s very unlikely that Novation releases a “mini” version of the Peak. But I would buy it (even knowing that the smaller size means less “tweakability”).

Prologue should have a better tone using VCOs but it lacks a lot of what Peak has it's down to taste. I went with Peak because I get the versatility of digital wave form generation and the tone of analogue filter and amps. Peak does have hidden oscillators for adding variation to the pitch and drift of the oscillators to make them sound more like VCOs and even the very unstable VCOs of the CS-80.

@alphanumeric1529

6 жыл бұрын

I really don't think vco's are overhyped. Maybe for hobbyist bedroom producers. But if you're really into sound, even just in the bedroom, hitting a key and hearing a vco ring out is a totally different experience from a dco or a digital waveform. With an all analog circuit, the sound just lives and breaths. There is a connection there. It is the difference between looking at a rock, and looking into the eyes of a girl that might like you. There is a lot of feeling coming back. A lot of people try to diss vcos, and I have to wonder, are they just talking out of their ass, or have they never experienced the thrill of intimacy? Or maybe they're just commercial producers and they know you can bury a digital oscillator in reverb, and the rest of the mix, and then slap reverb over the digi o, and an end listener listening on a 1.3 inch speaker in mono from a youtube rip won't be able to tell the difference, and you'd be right, you couldn't hear the difference. Not trying to dis dco's, or digi o's. It is just a fact that I've observed for myself. A fact I wish wasn't true. I'd love to get rid of my tankish, large poly vco from the 80's, get a vst and save all that space. But I feel the difference, it is night and day. I deal with the decrepitude, with the primitive midi spec (thank goodness that it at least has it, thanks Dave), with the price, with the clutter just to have that experience of liveness when I play it. And again, really really not trying to dis the Peak, I think it sounds amazing. I do think it tends to be clean and sterile, but that is a texture that you'd do well to have in your pallet. This demo sounds amazing, and I thought right away how much I'd really love to have those patches for tracks that I have parked, waiting for completion. It's all good, I don't know why everything has to be so black and white like vco's are the only oscillator type that is worth anything and people that don't have vcos aren't really making music, and then their opposite, a wave is a wave, a sin wave is a sin wave, they all sound identical, anyone thinks that there is life in vco's is just lost in woo and is full of shit. Forget all that. A place for everything in my studio. Only problem is I'm on an exceedingly tight budget during the golden age of synths. I don't think this is the second gold age, I think the first was only silver. I used to call it the golden age, until everything that is happening started happening. This is AMAZING. I literally never thought this would happen. And Behringer man, wtf... I literally have gas for a behringer product. wth? I wouldn't believe me if I told myself 4 years ago that I would gas over a behringer *SYNTH*. haha, madness out here.

Excellent patches. I find on poly synths it's often handy to be able to remove some of the bottom end because sometimes sounds can get a bit too full and muddy with so many voices stacked on top of each other. Peak doesn't allow the LP filter and HP filter to act simultaneously, so do you know if there's a way of removing bottom end (eg. an internal EQ?) when in LP filter mode?
