And so to Part 2 of the Himalaya project for the Novation Peak/Summit by Michael/Soundsauca. This half features more EPs, basses and leads, but also follows on with some more signature Soundsauca pads and atmospheres. 128 patches officially, and another 28 outtakes and revisions. (156)
Part 1 can be found here: • Novation Peak/Summit s...
The sounds are always made first with a great deal of care, everything else is secondary. More info is available on my website:
www.soundsauca...
Sorry it's so long but I did it for a few reasons:
- I like to tell a story through sounds that touch me visually. I considered timestamps but I wasn't sure it would work with that intention.
- There's no ambiguity about what they all sound like.
I offer the sounds at a reasonable price IMHO as this takes serious time. But more than that, it's my own sensory documentation of my time with a particular synth. My playing skills aren't the best (nor are my hotchpotch videos) - there's fantastic videos elsewhere from virtuoso performers and great influencers. Shamefully I'm not up to speed with every genre under the sun (I stopped being cool when my kids were born!) I know what I like though, if others do, that's a bonus. Taken as a whole I hope it all stacks up.
Recording:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recorded at 48khz, -6dB (Peak Setting) into Logic Pro-X via an RME UFX. Peak volume knob at 12 O'clock. Fades are used to transition between sounds, but the sounds are pure Peak. No compressors, limiters, EQ or other secret sauce were harmed in the making of this demo;)

bought the patches after hearing them on this... must have missed them when first relased.. stunning work on both sounds and the RU-vid promo. I even watched it again after buying the patches..

Hi @Sonic Energy Authority! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Whilst I always create with my heart, encouraging sentiments really do reinforce that what I have tried to do is worthwhile. Some days I have my doubts, but times like this your feedback really does help me. All the best and enjoy the sounds!

Some beautiful sounds in here, nice playing as well! Mod Weaver reminds me of my good old Roland XV 3080!

@Soundsauca 8 дней назад

Thanks a lot. Yes I went for a lot of that old school vibe!

@jmcbeady8210 3 года назад

Fantastic work sonically and visually. Your videos are a special experience.

@jno8039 2 года назад

Great sound bank, really different and refreshing than the usual vintage/brass/synthwave on the market It's a really good source of inspiration for my own sound. I hope to see more like this one. Keep going

@Soundsauca 2 года назад

Thanks very much. Indeed, by the time I get hold of a synth, there’s often a great many patches covering those styles. Appreciate the encouragement - I hope to do just that!

@THARTHURs.THOUNDS Год назад

I don't own a Peak, but I'm almost ready to by these patches. Great work!

@Soundsauca Год назад

They're well worth it. It's my defacto analog style polysynth. I know there's others but I feel I could make most any sound I like with it. Would love a Summit thou!

@forestchild3261 2 года назад

These are beautiful. It feels like these are one of the few banks which get what the Peak/Summit is meant for. Most everyone else seems to be going for vintage poly stuff and it just sounds meh. And I think the factory patches at this point are generally known for being horrible. If I decide to keep the Summit I have on loan now, I would definitely go for these!

@Soundsauca 2 года назад

Hi @Forest Child. Thanks very much for your kind words. Some of the advice I get from people is to make my banks more "genre" orientated and to concentrate on a specific sound. I can't do that! My work is more of a demonstration of the synth through exploration. I don't follow a set formula (maybe I should!) but it's not my way. There's plenty of very accomplished musicians/sound designers out there who fill the need for those vintage poly sounds. So my view is to try something different. Anyhow I'd keep the Summit if I were you. They are very capable machines and there's much more in them! Thanks

@aaronthompson317 2 года назад

Wow! I have my Peak arriving today and now can’t wait to integrate these!

@Soundsauca 2 года назад

Ah good for you man! It’s my go to hardware synth. Such a versatile machine that I truly believe will stand the test of time. Enjoy! 😉👍

Sure glad I did not miss this!

@sequoiaarayas3092 3 года назад

I had a peak and was dead bored of the sounds including all the free packs that can be DL, these presets though are totally awesome, great job with sound design

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Thanks. Personally speaking, it’s my kind of synth - a great raw sound but with hidden depths. Wish I had a Summit… alas it’s too much for me atm.

@Teschnertron 3 года назад

Oh my god. A couple of months ago I bought a Cobalt8x. You showed me a great synth for all my needs. But now (is it the GAS-syndrom?) I'm interested in another one, a counterpart. My first intentions has gone to the Argon8, because of the great sounds you created. But now, I'm hooked on the Peak. Everybody in my synth-community tells me, the Peak is a very impressive synth. Then your creations comes around and now I know: I need a peak.

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

It’s the GAS! Long time sufferer here too. Argon/Peak both are very different machines. Peak has wavetables but if I was after that trademark WT sound I’d choose Argon. Very transparent and clean. Peak being hybrid has more dirt, girth etc due to the analog areas (hence the cost). Argon is more rewarding initially, Peak requires (for me at least) serious time investment to get more out, but there’s more there… it’s a rewarding instrument that I’ve barely scratched the surface. More to come, I started with the beautiful side, now it’s the dark side of Peak;)!

@edinmesic8015 3 года назад

Good patches....works on Summit too

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Oh brilliant! Thanks for confirming and your support:)

@awpMusic1 2 года назад

Just bought these. On the whole some nice sounds but the levels vary enormously - at least on a summit - some 'normal' and some blow your speakers up levels!

@Soundsauca 2 года назад

Hi there, thanks very much for your purchase, I really appreciate it. I'm glad you like many of the sounds in the bank. It is a varied bunch as I like to explore the synth in various ways as opposed to genre specific patches. I know that probably puts some people off! With regard to how loud they are, I will investigate this further. Naturally I level matched the sounds so maybe something is awry. I'm wondering if there is a difference with the patch gain structure on the Summit to Peak. Some sounds indeed push the filter and drive settings to extremes which should be compensated elsewhere in the patch. If you like, feel free to drop me a mail here: www.soundsauca.com/contact and we can investigate which patches are causing an issue so I can test them here. Thank you for your feedback!

@javvvs_6965 3 года назад

will definitely buy, when i get my Peak : )

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Ahh thanks very much. Peak is a wonderful synth!

@@Soundsauca i've bought a Summit instead hah and just purchased Himalaya :) can't wait to try them. Ty sr

@Soundsauca 2 года назад

Ah that’s great news 😀 hope you enjoy the summit, I’m sure you’ll love it. Also thanks very much for your support 👍

@julko28 3 года назад

Dude you are awesome really. Diamond Peak - i mean come on. Is this one sound and melody? Make an effing track out of it :)

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Hi mate. Thanks so much, not sure anyone's watching it as it's sooo long! It's one sound - chord and then melody played over top. Mod wheel IIRC spits out the lfo zapping if that's what you mean. A track! I dunno man! I get stuck in a loop too much, I'd love to, maybe... Still - Football's coming HOME!! (fingers crossed)

Lovely

Thank you 😊

@Zenda13 3 года назад

I don't know what I like more. But the visuals are also very inspiring. How are you making them ? vvvv

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Lol. Days and days of love, sweat and tears in after effects.

@mindseyerobot 3 года назад

while i had plans to just do my own sound design, i coulnt not buy these. looking forward to having a 'turn it on and bliss the fuck out' bank in my summit filled with these. they are just so good.

@Soundsauca 3 года назад

Thank you. I really hope they bring you joy!

@soundsfortoday3623 Год назад

Question: how long have you been doing sound design?

@Soundsauca Год назад

Well if you count playing around on a friend's Yamaha PSS, 30 years probably. For real - since 2019 :)

@cfcreative1 10 месяцев назад

novation has been going downhill their last ok synth was mini nova/ ultranova this is just a mcvst in a box with knobs lost all previous Novation signature sound. They did make good midi controllers which i have not sure how the new ones are now maybe they are crap too.

@Soundsauca 10 месяцев назад

Hi there. I've used a fair few of Novation synths. Supernova still sounds amazing and does have a "sound" to it. Peak is awesome IMHO, and rightly sounds different to others. However it still has that Novation signature. Novation lost their long time DSP/Analog genius Chris Huggett (R.I.P.) a few years back. Whilst undoubtedly their synths were more than the work of one man, I'd put him up alongside Dave Smith etc in terms of his contribution to the industry. Mininova doesn't have all the fidelity of modern plugins, but like all synths it has its signature and it hangs together in a compact unit that is quite unique.

@cfcreative1 10 месяцев назад

ya i was initially unimpressed with the mini nova but it can sound ok if you use it mixed with other instruments in general i don't think new analogue synths sound as fat as older ones so even Dave Smith new stuff etc to me doesn't sound great even with the high price tag I do think there is a new trend with synths to be more toys for instant gratification then really something mind blowing I read the science behind the peak about the super high sampling rate or something well the proof is in the pudding so they say if it doesn't sound better to the ear why would you add that feature seems like the world is crazy where people do stuff that just doesn't make real sense...... @@Soundsauca
