UDO Super 6 Binaural Hybrid Polysynth Sounds

Published on Mar 2, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"In this video, we take a look at the UDO Super 6, a "12-voice polyphonic binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer with Super-wave technology". And while that might seem like a mouthful, this synth remains accessible and inspiring. Read more about the Super 6 here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...

Because of its distinctly Roland-inspired design, the Super 6 feels immediately approachable—as if you're interacting with an instrument you've known for ages. Hiding beneath its welcoming exterior, though, is an advanced, state-of-the-art synthesis engine. The Super 6 uses FPGA-based oscillators followed by analog filters/drive, and analog VCA, and high-quality digital effects, providing the best of both analog and digital synthesis methods.

Super waves allow for supersaw-like clusters spread across stereo space, but with any waveform accessible (including a selection of colorful wavetables). But perhaps most interest is the Super 6's binaural capability: in which pairs of voices are assigned to the left and right channels to act as "super voices." These super voices offer the potential for phase-displaced modulation, creating filter sweeps and tremolo that fill up the stereo field with an uncanny organic sound.
All this combined with several options for rich stereo chorus, high-quality stereo delay, and overall remarkable build quality and playing response, the Super-6 at once familiar and strikingly new."
