Summit : Studio Workhorse

I have owned the Summit for 2 weeks, so I will keep this review short. After so much research to find a studio centerpiece synthesizer, I am very happy that I chose this. I liked the look of it from the very beginning; however I was a little worried about the length of the Novation Summit, fitting in my home studio. Thankfully now; I have easily accommodated it in my workspace. The following makes this synthesizer perfect for my studio. -Great sound without any tweaking -Many presets to work with or swap out on the Novation website -Endless amount of modification control to create new user presets -Build quality -Connectivity (and then some) -Excellent workflow (with definite learning curve) -Also very hands on, making it easy to get started -Excellent digital sounds -Excellent analog sounds -This synth is easily at home sounding buttery and smooth as well as kind of nasty sounding (in a great way) -Very good Effects section and very usable -Value! Compared to other synthesizers in this price range, I believe its value is outstanding Of course, nothing's perfect, so here are the weak points that I have found. Unlike many other synths, there were no cool stickers included. YEA, I'm over it. A truly inspiration instrument!!!
