UDO Super 6 Synthesizer - 1st Look Sonic LAB
Ғылым және технология
U.D.O. Audio are just down the road from us in Bristol, we've been hoping to get them in to show the new Super 6 Synthesizer - a 12 voice (FPGA oscillators) Binaural synthesizer, with analog VCF and VCA with a stereo audio patch and some interesting new concepts in stereo imaging. Each voice has 2 oscillators, including wavetables, plus high speed and keyboard tracking LFO. Binaural mode halves the voice count to 6, but the stereo width and movement is really lovely to behold.
Designer George Hearn came over to show us as the first batch of cases are in production and they put the last few pieces of the firmware together for release early next year

I like this guy. He knows very well that the synth he created is excellent, because he made the right choices on all levels. Look at his smile, look at his pleasure! He himself is surprised by the sonic territories he manages to reach with his machine. And watch Nick's face: he's ecstatic! This synth will be in my studio soon. It’s written and inevitable ❤️
I love everything about this guy. So much passion oozing. We need to support and protect companies like this.
There is something *really special* about the sonic quality of the sounds coming out of this beauty! I mean *really special* !! 💙

I love how much passion and belief this guy has in his product... and rightfully so. The proof is in the pudding. When most of the big companies are just phoning it in with their new products, we get Indy devs truly inspiring us.

George has been around for a long time. He has been selling very nice clones of things like SSM 2040 filters for at least 10 years now. Also OSC's and EG's. His stuff has been used in the modular world by various companies a long time now. He knows his analogue design. I have used his clones previously in my own stuff. George is a good dude.

UDO. Trust me. Please send one of these to Richard Barbieri and have him create a bank of sounds that we can download later!
This is probably the most interesting synth to come out in some time and it sounds outstanding.

@@onkelberra3166 The problem is, it's always a new synth every time. Analog junkies spend their lives buying new synths instead of making music. And I hate to break it to you, but they don't sound very different from eachother in a mix and when you add in effects and saturation
That's what I call a Time machine! For those not rich enough to get one now, and the others not even born yet and would like to get this old classic amazing synth from the 2020 years, George Hearn said he will release a boutique version called sup8 in about... 40 years
Since 1981 I was hoping that one day, an affordable synth will show up with a real warmth and soul ,mixing silky Japanese analog pads with German wavetables ... This is the day, and it s happening now !

If you can't afford it today, either second hand ones may appear slowly or, UDO will put the technology into a robust plastic molded version with surface mount faders.

@@smoothoscillator1 The hydrasynth has a complex mod matrix, and a lot of options for modulation, that can take it to places where this wont go. But this has the binural mode, and with that offers a sound that is big, with movement, without going deep in a mod matrix, paging through parameters. Neither would be impossible to mimic closely in software. But this has a control panel that makes it easy to program, where the hydrasynth has a lot of menu digging, with long parameter list, that would actually gain a better overview as drop-down on a computer screen. (I think I would rather program the Hydrasynth from a VST, and it would be cool, if they could add parameter assign, so that in a live situation, one button press on the quick keys would take the user to a set of assigned parameters)

James B. The wave state sounds like general midi from 94 with a 4 part sequencer which makes it less boring, I’m sure you can get an app in your phone that does and sounds like wavestate, oh snap! Korg has already release it on an app
The breadth of sounds from this are amazing! Quality, ultra clean, yet organic. The layout looks great. The sounds though, is another level. It feels-sounds like every component along the signal path is deeply considered. It's a sonic occupier... a dominator or both frequency and attention. I may have 20 + synths but damn it, this feels like one that does something unique and special.

One of the best sounding synths I've heard bar none. Finally something that isn't just a simple emulation of synths from another generation, this feels next generation whilst iterating on various incredible parts of other synths.
Wow, that synthesizer sounds gorgeous. Instant Twin Peaks.

Holy crap. I am almost never impressed by a digital synth. But this thing is remarkable. Nothing cold or sterile about these sounds. Warm, organic, but still with lots of air and transparency! Most interesting!
Fantastic synth, excellent and entertaining presentation. This was a fantastic show! Thank you very much, guy's.
awesome. sounds massive and the stereo imaging is very interesting. love the early digital sounds coming from it mixed with the analog waves.
Bloody hell, that sounds just so smooth.......Genuinely want one of these
Perfect demo of an awesome synth! Bravo George and the UDO team, you don't often see Nick this amazed ( and maybe trying to hide it ;) long live Nick Batt, long live all the cool people from sonic talk and sonic state, long live adventurous gear designers and long live us gear lovers who hunt for the sound and spend our money on gear and music stuff instead on new clothes and food 😁
now THAT is one gorgeous sounding instrument!!
13:13 WOW, holy moly
The enthusiasm of the designer of the UDO Super 6 really puts a smile on my face. You see him constantly exploring his own design. I really wish them all the succes with this synth they can get :).
Super cool synth, great job U.D.O.!
WOW. bringing in the depth on the binaural function just melted my brain.
And the 2019 geekout award goes to............bless him.
Kudos to them for taking on this concept full on. The price means I'll probably not own one any time soon, but instruments like this set new benchmarks for synths in general. And it sounds bloody gorgeous, even through my crappy bluetooth speaker.
This is the 1st synth i've heard in awhile that I actually really must have! Just incredibly lush
it will land in a lot of studios, love the fact that it delivers great sound with a relatively simple architecture + that classy Jupiter 6 look.
I'm completely blown away! This is the killer synth!
Sounds amazing !

Dude can't keep his hands off that thing, it's such a joy! I'd be hard pressed to see someone as giddy demoing a piece of hardware as George is. If that alone isn't an instant investment selling point, I don't know what is. Great work!
Wow, that is lovely!
Such a pleasure to see a man so obviously dedicated to his machine (and giving us a perfect comprehensive demo). And btw, about the very neat design: it really looks like a modern Jupiter 8 redesigned by Arturia.
Surprising sounding synth ! A Good job U DO !
Sounds amazing. I have a Deep Mind 12 and one thing it has that I didn't see on this is a Hold button which is so useful for sound design by allowing both hands to be free to tweak.
This synth will be in my collection, soon. Absolutely love it.
What an absolutely wonderful musical instrument.

Stars of sound geeking. MAJESTIC!
That was the Wettest Dry sound I've ever heard. I think all synths should have Binaural Oscillators. Amazing.
This synth is stunning!
I've watched all available videos of this on KZread and I'm starting to think there's some unmentioned AI going on inside its software. This synth appears to fill in all the gaps that were left at the end of the vintage analog era and stretch them out in resolution in a way that tells your brain, this is the best sound you ever Hearned. This will sit very nicely along side my very old but lovely Kurzweil K2500. I wouldn't hesitate to put any of my vintage analog or modern modellers along side it as, this machine will make textures they couldn't possibly compete with. From the demo videos, it seems like one of the most important musical instruments in many years. Like a Fender Stratocaster (Super duper mega custom) of keyboards. About time! Rock and roll.
What a fantastic sounding instrument
Sounds gorgeous, looks industrial, hands on functionality at it's best, could be my next synth, trumps any ROMpler/Analog (real or emulator) I've heard for the last 5 years, a real life demo is probably heart stopping !
This synth is sounds amazing I want one!
Damn im in love with this synth!
First time i see nick amazed. Wow after wow. I think its the best synth ive ever heard.

Smooth as silk what a nice sound and wide sweet spot
amazing sound!
This thing is literally the badass movie OST generator 😄
A joy to hear :) Like everyone else - I want one ;)
I really love this binaural "stereo oscillators" approach to get a very lush stereo sound. With that, along with its digital wavetables, analog amps and filters, it's like a reincarnation of the Ensoniq SQ-80.
Sounds very nice
I'm drooling! I pray that I have my blue Super 6 next month!
Amazing synth!
It sounds just absolutely fantastic xD
This needs to be hooked up to the osmose keyboard ASAP!!!
