I wonder if Novation has fixed noise to audio ratio with Summit. I had Peak and loved the sound but hiss was too audible for my taste + there is really a lot of menu diving in Peak.

I always wanted to try Summit though but then Super 6 showed up and steal my all attention. No menus and sound really good on the clips… good there is long waiting list to tame the :fuelpump:

Posting some observations after a few days of use:

I uploaded a .pdf of all the preset 1 names, if anyone wants it. Link below. Some of the presets are amazing, and it’s fun trying to work out how they did what they did. If anyone can put names to initials, that would be great, obviously GH are George’s, but not sure about the others. I am really digging the “MJ” ones around Banks E and F.

Having a blast with this synth the last few days. It sounds incredible, build quality and user interface are off the charts. Smells great when it gets reassuringly warm. ! :slightly_smiling_face: I do hope the DDS1 retrigger bug thingy will be sorted soon though!

Plugged the expression pedal in and that works a treat too, some of the presets show off its use very well. It’s labelled CV, so I guess you could plug something from your modular into that for extra LFO and ENVs etc.

Tried an electric guitar into the Input, but the results weren’t great because the signal level from the passive pickups was a bit too low, I think. I will try it again with a boost pedal before the S6. Also the guitar signal only came out of the Right output, so I guess it’s setup for a stereo line level input really. I ought to plug my portable player in there just for a laugh. Also need to try the old Minimoog trick of plugging one of the outputs into the input for a feedback path…

One thing that impresses me is how “non-digital” the PWM, FM, and Oscillator Sync sound. Must be that crazy FPGA!

It’s not really time as much as the fact that I have deliberately put it in the bedroom, away from the mastering studio, while I am getting to know it. Just me, it and a pair of headphones. :slight_smile: Helps me get out of the feature creep of having the whole studio at hand, so I can really concentrate fully on it. Bad excuse I know…

As soon as the first firmware patch is released (slated before Wednesday), then I’ll be forced to drag it into the studio anyway to update, so may try and put some demos down then!

My first free sound bank for the Super 6. Text file explains all. Let me know if it works, and enjoy!

[EDIT]

New firmware 0.23 up on the website, been beta testing it the last couple of days. Fixes bugs, adds sequencer!

[EDIT 2]

Super 6 acid line, internal sequencer and delay, no external processing, direct to ADC

Anyone know why my .mp3 link doesn’t seem to work? Might need to cut and paste it:
