The Summit is a 16-voice synth that fuses analog warmth with digital flexibility, powered by Novation’s powerful Oxford Oscillators.""With a career spanning more than 1,000 album credits and collaborations with icons from Seal and The Rolling Stones to Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band and Tim McGraw, Muhoberac is widely regarded as one of the most versatile keyboardists of his generation. On recent tours, he turned to the Novation Summit to help shape the sonic energy of two very different live productions: the theatrical, guitar-driven wall of sound of My Chemical Romance, and the expansive, textural atmospheres of John Mayer’s band.""For My Chemical Romance, Muhoberac uses his Novation Summits throughout the show, creating massive, distorted unison tones that double guitars, drive choruses, and fill the sonic space with industrial textures during transitions," a statement reads. “With MCR, I’m often finding ways to glue the guitars together or make the loudest moments even louder,” says Muhoberac. “The Summit’s unison sounds with distortion have incredible weight, exactly what’s needed to push the dynamics over the top in a band that’s already very loud.”“John’s music called for rich, evolving pads, sounds that move and breathe in the background without calling attention to themselves,” he explains. “The Summit gave me that space to create textures that were reminiscent of Richard Wright’s work with Pink Floyd, adding depth while letting the songs remain centered on John’s voice and guitar.”“It’s an instrument with endless creative headroom,” he notes. “If I think of a sound, I can get there quickly, and usually discover something new along the way. That’s why I plan to always keep at least a couple of Summits in my setup.”“The Summit is the rare instrument that feels limitless,” stated Muhoberac. “No matter how many shows I play or sounds I design, it always gives me new possibilities. It’s the kind of synthesizer I trust to inspire me every night on stage.”The post Jamie Muhoberac relies on Novation Summit for touring work with My Chemical Romance and John Mayer first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.
