Patch Select
Displayed as: Bank/Patch
Default value: Rec+Tran
Range of adjustment: Disabled, Receive, Transmit, Rec+Tran
This setting controls how Peak handles MIDI Program Change and Bank Change
messages. The default value of Rec+Trans allows Peak to send a Program/Bank Change
message whenever a new Patch is loaded, and also lets you load a Patch from an external
MIDI controller, such as Novation Impulse. As with MIDI control data (above), you can
choose to set Receive or Disabled, so that Peak does not transmit Program/Bank Change
messages when you change Patches, or to set Transmit or Disabled, so that Peak does not
respond to Program/Bank Change messages from external equipment.
Pedal pages:
PEDAL SW SENSE 6/8
Ped1Sense Auto h
Ped2Sense Auto
PEDAL SW MODE 7/8
Ped1Mode Sustain h
Ped2Mode Sostnuto
These two menu pages are concerned only with pedals of the switch (on/off) type. [If you
are using one or more Expression pedals, these may be connected to either or both the two
PEDAL sockets on the rear of the unit. There are no Settings Menu options for Expression
pedals: they are assigned in the Mod Matrix on a per-Patch basis.]
Pedal Types
Displayed as: Ped1Sense Ped2Sense
Initial values: Auto and Auto
Range of adjustment: Auto, N/Open, N/Closed Auto, N/Open, N/Closed
Peak supports two foot switch pedals of various types. A sustain pedal or footswitch can
be connected to Peak via the PEDAL 1 or PEDAL 2 sockets
5
. Ascertain whether your
sustain pedal is of the normally-open or normally-closed type, and set the Ped1Sense
or Ped2Sense parameter to suit. If you are unsure which it is, connect the footswitch
with Peak unpowered, and then power it on (without your foot on the pedal!) Provided the
default value of Auto is still set, the polarity will be correctly sensed.
Pedal Modes
Displayed as: Ped1Mode Ped2Mode
Initial values: Animate1 and Animate2
Range of adjustment: Animate1, Sustain, Sostnuto Animate2, Sustain, Sostnuto
The Pedal Mode settings determine what you want the switch pedals to do. The default
setup is for the two Pedals to act as foot switches for Peak’s Animate functions: in this
case, pressing a pedal triggers the Animate effect that has been defined within the Patch.
You can alternatively assign either peda; to be a Sustain or a Sostenuto pedal (like the
middle pedal on a three-pedal piano).
Backup Page:
Novation recommends the use of Novation Components online Librarian to fully manage
your Patches – see page 36. However, you may also import and export Patch data via
MIDI SysEx messages, using applications such as SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX
(Windows).

Select Patches
Displayed as: Select
Default value: Current
Range of adjustment: Current, Bank A, Bank B, Bank C, Bank D,
A+B+C+D, Settings, ABCD+Set
Select lets you choose which Patches to back up as SysEx data. You can choose either
the currently active Patch (Current), or any or all of the four Banks in full (128 Patches
per Bank). You can also choose just to back up the current synth settings, with or without
every Patch (Settings and ABCD+Set respectively).
Dump Port Select
Displayed as: Send To
Default value: USBport
Range of adjustment: USBport, MIDIout
You can choose to send the SysEx data via either the MIDI OUT socket or the USB port,
with the SendTo setting. When you are ready to do the data dump, select the lower left-
hand screen button, Go, to perform the action.
