Bad Gear - Bass Station 3 ???

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In spite of Skynet-like plugins, Insta-worthy designs and workflows that give you the full Dark Souls experience the old-fashioned one-knob-per-function 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 knob-laden interface for grown-ups, a not-so-secret sound design sauce and more menu diving than a Roland groovebox, it also delivers a roided-up version of that distinct Novation tone you either love or hate.
