I recently needed some samples of a GR-500, but even my local 'we have everything' electro-band didn't have that model. So I set about creating an emulation - the Novation Peak did the job, at least to the point where it fooled most people in the 'one synth challenge' that it was a guitar synth!

If you ever get a Peak/Summit I'm happy to share my patches.

I'm sure the sounds get close but

No-one is going to recreate that. Not even Behringer.

Can attest to this. My only consolation in being so fooled is the Elf put on the outward appearance of mistaking my SY1000 for an Arp :-D
