Bad Gear Bass Station 3 ???

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s mosthated audio tools. In spite of Skynetlike plugins, Instaworthy designs and workflows that give you the full Dark Souls experience the oldfashioned oneknobperfunction approach is still the pinnacle of synth UI for many musicians.

Today we are going to talk about Peak. This 2017 hybrid high end poly synth not only comes with a knobladen interface for grownups, a notsosecret sound design sauce and more menu diving than a Roland groovebox, it also delivers a roidedup version of that distinct Novation tone you either love or hate.


Thanks to Tom of Synth Anatomy for lending me another piece from his collection:
