and the bass on the final part has a bit of treble shelved off with the Cubase stock EQ).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The soundbank for the Novation Peak (should also be compatible with the Novation Summit) as well as the individual sounds and the 1 User Wavetable are <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1KszThEiTyxjtX9YWLoeJBzXzl2eKl67N\">available<\/a> as a free download.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">00:00 &#8211;
