Common Novation Peak Questions
How do I sync the Peak's sequencer or LFOs to an external MIDI clock source?
Go to the Global settings menu (Shift + Oscillator 1) and set 'Clock Source' to 'External MIDI'. Ensure your DAW or external device is sending MIDI clock signals.
Where are my patches saved, and how do I back them up?
Patches are saved internally in banks. Use the Novation Components software to backup and manage your Peak's patch library to your computer.
How do I assign a MIDI CC to a specific parameter on the Peak for external control?
The Peak features a modulation matrix. Use this matrix by holding the Shift button and selecting 'Mod Matrix'. From there, select a source and destination, and then adjust the 'Depth' knob to assign the CC value.
My Peak is making no sound, even though the Oscillators are on. What could be wrong?
Check the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) level. Ensure it's not set to zero, or that it's being modulated by an envelope or LFO that is set to a very low value.
What is the 'Animate' button for, and how can I use it creatively?
The 'Animate' button allows you to record real-time knob movements into a 16-step sequence. This is a simple way to inject complex movement and expressiveness into your sounds.
