Redshift 6 - Arp Line Tweak
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Redshift 6’s Demon Core Oscillator can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice with analogue waveforms.
However, in this synth tweak, we use mostly just two oscillators to create sounds that are inspired by the legendary dual VCO synthesizers.
The MIDI notes are sent from DAW to Redshift, and the delay is DAW’s native delay."

Redshift 6 - Bassline Tweak
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Redshift 6 is a Variable Character Synthesizer with 5 different characters: Liquid, Crisp, Fat, Mean and Sour.
These characters affect how the filter sounds, and using the different characters, the Redshift 6’s filter can act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and beyond. Besides the filter, these characters also affect the various parameters, from envelope shapes to slop between oscillators.
In this demo, you can hear the different characters with various filter cutoff and resonance settings.
0:00 FAT UNISON BASS
0:44 SQR HOUSE BASS
1:25 SQR SUB OSC BASS
2:05 REESE BASS
2:55 DRIVE UNISON BASS
3:39 ACID SQUARE BASS
4:36 FUNKY UNISON BASS
5:09 LFO SQUARE BASS
The audio is a dry signal from the Redshift 6 without any external effects."

BAF 2025: Supercritical Redshift 6
video upload by sonicstate
"At the Buchla and Friends booth, we caught up with Jussi at Supercritical who demonstrated the *Redshift 6*. This synthesizer, recently made available for purchase, had already been shipping since December. As Jussi explained to us, the Redshift 6 is a six-voice polyphonic synthesizer, each voice featuring a digitally controlled DCO oscillator and a custom-designed filter. The instrument is largely analog, with the exception of its digital effects, allowing for some intriguing sound possibilities.
A standout feature of the Redshift 6 is its extensive modulation capabilities and the ability to generate up to 16 oscillators per voice, resulting in a total of 96 oscillators. The device's filter topology can mimic various classic styles, such as ladder, Roland, and 303 filters, with the potential to introduce new characters over time.
Jussi also shared that the Redshift 6 retails for $1,349."

Redshift 6 - Supersaw Tweak
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"Redshift 6’s Demon Core Oscillator can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice. In this synth tweak we use the Demon Core Oscillators Stack feature to create a dense oscillator stack for a supersaw trance sound.
The stereo effect is created by modulating amplifiers panning with voice, so that each new note gets played on the opposite side of the stereo field. The filter cutoff is modulated with slow LFO to create movement to the arpeggiator lines.
Effects in this demo are external effects. All variations from the theme start dry, and the amount of effect is shown in the video."

Redshift 6 - Acid Tweak
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"This demo tweak uses Redshift’s Sour character for its acid sounds.
All the patches in this demo song are made using one oscillator that is fed to the Sour characters 18 dB/Oct filter.
Pitch slides are programmed to the midi notes as pitch bend midi cc messages, and the note velocity modulates the filter cutoff through the filter envelope modulation.
Effects in this demo are all external effects."

Redshift 6 // All Factory Presets // Sounds Only
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Running through all of the Factory Presets in the Supercritical Redshift 6 synth. This is a no talking demo, I've a full breakdown of the concept here: • Supercritical RedShift 6 // Analog We... [posted here]
I've added reverb to the more reverb friendly tones in the first half. I think this gives a better understanding of how the sounds would fit in a mix. If you prefer them in the raw I still got you covered. Jump to the second half. It's the same recordings, same sounds etc, naked."

Redshift 6 - From Reset To Preset: Cascading RezLFO
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"On our From Reset To Preset series, we noodle sounds from scratch, and showcase our new Redshift 6 synthesizer in use.
In this patch we create movement from two cascading LFOs that modulate osc2's pitch and amplitude."
Supercritical RedShift 6 // Analog Weight with Multiple Personalities
video upload by Starsky Carr
"The Redshift 6 is based on the Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator and Neutron Flux Filter eurorack modules.. both of which offer a huge amount of flexibility for analog oscillators and filters. Supercritical have been able to do this through designing a system where they can control the character of the filters and oscillators under digital control.
Which is why this is called a variable character synthesizer. It has 5 distinct characters, from smooth and gooey to nasty and dirty howling resonance.
Although the final firmware has not yet been 100% implemented - I thought it would be interesting to demo the overall principles and how it all works."

Redshift 6 - Super Pluck Pad
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"The patch on this tweak is Redshift 6’s preset patch - SUPER PLUCK PAD.
Redshift 6 is sequenced from DAW and all the parts: lower pad, melody and chords use the same patch. Besides the DAW’s native delay (20% wet), there is no other audio effects such as compressor or limiter."

Redshift 6 - From Reset To Preset: Poly-aftertouch Super Saw Keys
video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers
"On our From Reset To Preset series, we noodle sounds from scratch, and showcase our new Redshift 6 synthesizer in use.
On this lush keys sound, we take advantage of the Redshift 6’s DCO stack to create a thick super saw on each 6 voices. The filter cutoff is modulated with key follow, note velocity and auxiliary envelope, while the amplifier is modulated with LFO and auxiliary envelope to give movement to the sound.
Voices are spread in stereo to add dimension to the sound. On a final touch, the polyphonic aftertouch is assigned to the filter cutoff to offer more expression when playing."

Supercritical Redshift 6 Now Available to Order
Press release follows:


TAMPERE, FINLAND: having opened eyes and ears with show-stopping showcases at SUPERBOOTH24, May 16-18, FEZ-Berlin, Germany and Machina Bristronica, October 12-13, Bristol, UK, Supercritical is proud to announce availability of its inaugural desktop instrument in Redshift 6 — self styled as a 6 voice Variable Character Synthesizer that combines technology from the budget travels in time and space-offering Finnish synthesizer manufacturer’s previous Demon Core Oscillator and Neutron Flux Filter products, each of its six voices featuring a DCO (Digitally-Controlled Oscillator) that can create up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice with analogue waveforms generated under digital control — as of December 16…
Supercritical’s self-styled 6 voice Variable Character Synthesizer wording — which is subtly featured on the front panel of the desktop instrument itself by way of optical reinforcement — effectively encapsulates the Redshift 6 concept. Consequently, the analogue path of each of its DEMON CORE OSCILLATOR-based six voices is under strict digital control in terms of tuning, gain staging, filtering, and more. Moreover, Redshift 6 has a lush- and warm-sounding sweet spot that is inspired by classic analogue polysynths, but it also runs the full gamut from almost digitally sterile and clean to distorted behaviour and beyond.
Digging deeper, the filter core is an analogue 4-pole VARIABLE CHARACTER FILTER that is also digitally controlled to act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more besides. But in addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 has all the features expected of a modern synth — think modulators aplenty, flexible voice routing, (six-part) multitimbrality, MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), and (bypassable) stereo DSP (Digital Signal Processing) effects.
Elsewhere, Redshift 6’s six voices can be configured in a variety of ways — choose between true six-voice polyphony, classic vintage poly dual layer mode with 3+3 voices, six individual voices (each with their own patch and physical output), or any combination thereof. Those six voices can each also operate as a paraphonic voice with up to 16-note paraphony. And as if that is not enough to whet any serious synthesist’s appetite, multiple filters can be chained by routing audio from one voice to another.
Supercritical spent time — time that was well spent, clearly — realising Redshift 6’s physical form factor as a modern, compact — 378 mm (W) x 254 mm (D) x 63 mm (H) — desktop device with a 2.7-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) IPS (In-Plane Switching) colour screen surrounded by eight endless clickable potentiometers. Thanks to quick navigation via the shortcut button grid, menu diving is kept to a minimum, while a selection of familiar synth controls — DCO, VCF (Voltage-Controlled Filter), and AMP (amplifier), to name but the basics — are featured throughout the front panel. Put it this way: assigning modulations is equally easy and speedy with the modulation grid providing access to modulation source parameters, and all the assigned modulations can be edited via the MOD MATRIX. Meanwhile, a MACRO mode with six user-assignable buttons is included.
It is fair to say that Redshift 6’s slimline back panel packs in a lot of features for interacting with the outside world, including MAIN OUT (L and R) fed by the DSP effects, AUX OUT 1 (L and R), and AUX OUT 2 (L and R) — all on 6.3 mm jacks, alongside a modern MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) implementation with DIN IN/OUT and USB-B connection — not forgetting, of course, the headphone output.
One of the major design considerations of Redshift 6 is to facilitate a versatile and capable analogue platform with a flexible UI (User Interface) for accommodating new engines, easily updatable via software. Since its oscillators can currently go from traditional twin oscillator to supersaw behaviours while living in perfect harmony with the multimode filter, as well as incorporating various different character profiles — and all this in user-friendly ways that are easily controllable and modulatable, the relatively diminutive desktop Redshift 6 is already punching above its weight. Weighing in at 3.5 kg in actual fact, an exciting future surely lies ahead for Supercritical’s inaugural desktop instrument.
Priced at £1,099 GBP (including VAT)/€1,259.00 EUR (including VAT)/$1,349.00 USD, Redshift 6 is available through Supercritical’s growing global network of distributors, as listed here: https://supercriticalsynthesizers.com/where-to-buy/"
