Yep, the ones you make yourselfā¦ 
Cheers!

Some of the official patches offer good interactions through the mod matrix, very worth dissecting IMO.

Itās not possible to split the voices among several patches right? Letās say if I wanted to play a bass patch with the left hand and a pad with the right. I know this is possible on the Summit.
Peak is not multi-timbral but you could use the trick shown in this loopop video tutorial to achieve what you want:

Red Means Recording just posted good workflow on the Peak. Especially liked points on setting filter first to set scope of soundā¦I never do that! Or that wave shape knob cycles through position on wave tables.

Except? There are hundreds of patches there by many different sound designers and artistsā¦ and so many good ones thereā¦ at that point, unless you want to pay, the best avenue is to make your own! Kind of the entire point of a knob per function machine like thisā¦

I find that 99% of the patches I have heard are fairly uninteresting. And I have listened to a lot!
But the 1% that I liked were enough to sell me on the Peak. 
I finally have the peak here. This thing is such a beast. I love using the arpeggio with delay and turning the filter. Techno heaven instantly.

Iāve been looking all over the place for a downloadable manual for Peak without finding one. Anyone know if such a document exists at all?
Itās available on Novationās website:
Not that easy to find I reckonā¦ Support > Downloads then choose Novation as brand and Peak as productā¦

Question re: Animate buttons
They are meant to be momentary, yes? Unless the hold button is pressed.
Animate 1 werks as it should. Animate 2 stays on, and I can only turn it off pressing Animate 1. Problem or setting?
No info regarding this in manual or retrieved onlineā¦yet. Poking around without any luck.
Question sent to Novation.
I would think itās a problem. Havenāt seen any way to bind both Animate buttons, and I canāt see why someone would like such a feature.
God damn. I just sent Hydrasynth back and had them replace with Peakā¦and I get a dud!?
Could be a sign. No more music for this guy.
Ahaha! I got hard times lately, one shit a day.
Including loosing a bid over a TVS-PRO and a minor but really annoying iConnectMIDI4+ that canāt hold its configuration over night.
Itās the period, I guess. Soon overā¦ Hold on, dear!
There are probably tons more, but this recent one gave me a few new good approaches. (It doesnāt say so in the heading, but works great as a tutorial for the deep modulation possibilities of the Peak)

I can confirm that both Animate 1 and 2 works as you expect (i.e. momentary, unless using Hold) on my Peak too. Animate 2 shouldnāt turn off when pressing Animate 1 though - both should be able to be on at the same time.
Just a shot: You havenāt by any chance or mistake pressed the hold button before pressing Animate 2 ? As far as I remember (havenāt got my Peak here at work) you can āarmā it, and then it will hold the Animate button you press after. Also, it quit easy accidentally hitting hold when aiming for Animate 2.
Also: Donāt give up! The Peak is a lovely organic and warm synth with deep modulation posibilities, and think you will find plenty of the warmt you found missing from the Hydra here.
