Which one is for you? UDO Super6 or Super8 .. or Gemini?


video upload by Starsky Carr

"While I've got these 2 UDO synths 2 in the studio I thought I'd put them together. Thy are very similar. The Super 6 costs less, has 4 octaves but longer sliders. The Super 8 has an amazing keyboard, more voices and a couple of extras.

i thought sonically they would be the same, but the filter is different. It's more resonant on the Super 8 and the modulation amount is much greater ... much more like my Jupiter6. Something I noticed when I put the Super6 and the Jupiter 6 together was less mod. This has been improved... loads better!

My overall takehome is -- if you're a keyboard player (not tweaker) it's the Super8 all day long. The Super 6 fits neater on my rack, and still has the poly aftertouch with the upgraded keyboard. I'm so fickle the Super 8 caught my eye as it looks more like my Jupiter 6 - the dimensions have a real classic feel. Being practical I should keep the Super 6, but who's lead by their head not their heart? ;)"
