Summit may, of course, be used simply as a standalone synthesiser. However, there are many more possibilities, and how you choose to integrate it into your existing synth/recording setup
will be determined by the other equipment you have and your own imagination!
Below are three examples illustrating how Summit could form part of a synth setup. We’ve used Novation or Focusrite products throughout (we would, wouldn’t we?), but of course you can
use whatever equipment you have in your system provided it’s functionally equivalent, of course.

SLMkIII
This setup does use not a DAW, and thus would be appropriate for live performance rather than recording. Here you could a MIDI controller - the Novation SL MkIII - is used to trigger
sounds in both Summit and another synth such as a Novation Bass Station II via MIDI, and in a Eurorack via CV+GATE. An external modular LFO in the Eurorack could modulate one or
more parameters in Summit via its CV IN connection. Both audio outputs of Summit, plus those of Bass Station II and the Eurorack are all sent to the external mixer. You could also use
Summit’s FX section in a send-and-return loop from the mixer to add delay or reverb, etc.

LaunchPad Pro
In the second example, a Launchpad Pro in stand-alone mode is connected via MIDI to Summit. This would permit Summit to be triggered by the Launchpad Pro, taking advantage of its
polyphonic aftertouch capability. The MIDI data could also be routed through to the Eurorack, which again is providing an LFO output to Summit’s CV input. Note that audio signals have
been omitted from the diagram to aid clarity. The computer is connected to Summit via USB.
