The Super 6 Sounds Amazing #NAMM2020

Published on Jan 24, 2020 True Cuckoo

"SUPER 6 is a new synth from a relatively unknown company called UDO Audio. There's nothing about the form factor that can describe how unique the sound is. This is perhaps not the most innovative playing - but I simply can't get enough of this strangely gentle and immersive sound. Rarely do I find bass synth sounds such a welcoming place to stay. This is special.
Love it."
