It has come to our attention that the first batch of Novation Summit synthesisers have been affected by a batch of faulty encoders, that can cause the patch/parameter adjustment rotary control (to the right of the screen) to behave inconsistently and skip values.



We want to make sure that owners of our flagship synth have the best possible music-making experience – so we’re working as hard as we can to ensure that affected units are replaced as soon as possible.

As the issue does not prevent the unit from being used, we don’t want to do anything to interrupt owners' use of the Summit. However, we will be contacting any registered owners once we have stock available to arrange a replacement. The current ETA for the replacement units is mid December.

The best way to ensure that you are contacted if your unit needs recalling, is to register it to your Novation account.

If you would prefer not to register please contact us directly to let us know you have one of the affected units and we will arrange a replacement as appropriate.

A list of affected serial numbers can be found below. Affected units were only sold into the USA and EMEA (European) territories, customers outside of these regions are unlikely to be affected. We suggest using the Find function in your browser (CTRL F or CMD F) to search this list.
