11-10-2023
4 Months in the making, and finally available. MajorOSC delivers a new patch collection of outstanding presets for Summit owners to reach new heights of musicality and creativity.. Much like its predecessor "ShockWave," released in 2019 for the Peak, "SuperWave" serves as a stunning tour-de-force of musicality, expression, and creative sound design. SuperWave is built from the ground up to take full advantage of the Summit's capabilities, including the new user waveforms!
Owners of the Novation Peak and Summit know firsthand how easy it is to get amazing results with little to no effort. In other words, the sweet spot on Summit is a mile wide; In fact, its arguably one of the most sweet-spot-centric, easy to program synthesizers to have come out in the past 20 years. Good as that may be, it actually presented MajorOSC with a big challenge; How do you approach an easy-to-program, effortlessly beautiful sounding synthesizer, and create a patch collection that stands apart from everything else currently on the market? Turns out the answer was simple...
Double Down, and Double Up
MajorOSC doubled down on research, on experimentation, on the amount of time play-testing and perfecting each patch. Then MajorOSC doubled UP on the patch count; 1 complete bank of 128 single presets, and 1 complete bank of 128 Multi's. That's 256 Presets in total (unless you're counting the Multi's as 2 patches each, then its 384!). And not to worry, the one thing that did not double was the price
256 Patches; 1 bank of Singles, 1 Bank of Multi's
Lush analog plucks, pads, bass, and leads
Sleek, smooth, ear-pleasing digital wavetable-based presets of all styles
High energy distortion-driven bass leads with tempo-sync'd expression assignments
10 "Stock" MajorOSC-designated Wavetables to load into Summit to be used with SuperWave (although this is not required, as the majority of presets rely upon the 50+ stock wavetables)
Full Preset tracker list including notes for Single Bank

noodling around on a few of the presets, some of which are in fully realized form, while others need work. playing em for a good length of time, especially with a backbeat, is always a good indicator of where they're at, how they feel to play, how they sound in a mix etc. Figured I'd post a few of these periodically.
MajorOSC.com will be converting to a new brand identity in the coming weeks. Aperture Sound Lab, a join venture between MajorOSC and AlphaCodeSynth, will serve as the new platform for all preset banks to be release on. All MajorOSC preset banks will continue to be made available once the new site is up, and all banks will be labeled and credited as such. Aperture Sound Lab marks a new beginning for both MajorOSC and AlphaCodeSynth, allowing both to combine their sound design talents at various points, while retaining full control of the individual sound design brands and styles."

It is finally complete! Months in the making - MajorOSC.com has released the first full patch collection. You'll get 128 patches designed from scratch for the Novation Peak.
Shockwave is about expression, Interaction, and Inspiration. Every patch has a purpose. Each has a focused theme or idea. . A large portion of them have been specifically designed to provide the maximum amount of expression capabilities for the player, without the need to reach for knobs all the time. This means you'll come across tons of patches with multiple routings to velocity, aftertouch, the mod wheel, as well as the unique "animate" buttons on the Peak. Some patches you'll hear subtle tone variations or a simple tremelo / vibrato when using aftertouch, while other patches will change drastically with even the slightest modulation.

Each of Extinction's 86 patches has been designed completely from scratch. As a result, you can choose between 44 pads and textures, 12 leads, 12 basses, 11 arpeggiator sounds next to a selection of drum and SFX sounds. As always, we dug deep into the synth engine and made heavy use of Peak's outstanding oscillators and modulation matrix, including features like envelope repeat and FM.
Novation Peak Extinction Sound Pack also includes 8 new Wavetables
In 2020, Novation added a fantastic feature to Peak's already impressive sound engine. With the release of firmware version 1.3 you were now able to create and transfer your own wavetables. As sound designers we obviously had to include that feature into this preset collection. Thus adding to the 86 patches, this sound pack also features eight user wavetables that were created exclusively for this patch bank.
Patches for live performers and studio use
