Starsky Carr's Studio: Vintage & Modern Synth Setup Explained

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Welcome to a full synth studio tour — a look inside my hardware setup featuring vintage analog synths, modern wavetable instruments, modular gear and classic drum machines.

See how a mix of vintage synths, modern instruments, modular gear and drum machines all come together in one integrated setup. In this video I walk through the studio, explain how everything is connected, and show some of the instruments that regularly appear on the channel.

The studio is constantly evolving as new synths arrive, others get repaired, and different setups are tested for videos. In this walkthrough you'll see how classic gear like the Juno-60, Prophet series, Minimoog, TR-808, TR-909 and Jupiter synths sit alongside modern instruments such as the UDO Super 8, Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, Waldorf M, Arturia PolyBrute and Roland System-8.

I also explain how everything is routed through the studio — from CV-controlled vintage synths integrated with MIDI, to the AudioFuse interface and Neve summing mixer that handle the audio side of things.

If you've ever wondered how to organise a hardware synth studio, integrate vintage CV instruments with modern DAWs, or just want to see a room full of iconic synths and drum machines, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the setup behind the channel.

You’ll also hear a few stories along the way — including the slightly ridiculous “six degrees of separation” link from my studio gear to Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon through the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels soundtrack.

Whether you're into analog synthesis, wavetable synths, modular gear, or classic drum machines, this studio tour is packed with gear, ideas and inspiration.

A Modern Jupiter? Can the UDO SUPER 8 Fulfill the Same Role as a Vintage Jupiter 8?

video upload by Starsky Carr

0:00 Jungle Massiiive
3:09 Super 8 Superpowers
9:07 Analog Drift
13:41 Playing round with some tones
19:21 Filter modulation
21:13 Envelopes
21:50 Making a nice pad
24:18 Cross Mod
26:11 Sync

"Is the UDO Super 8 the modern equivalent of the legendary Roland Jupiter-8? Or does the original analog icon still reign supreme? Or was this just an elaborate excuse for me to get the Jupiter 8 on camera :)

In this video I put the UDO Super 8 and Roland Jupiter-8 head-to-head to see how close modern synth design can get to one of the most iconic polysynths ever made. Forget nostalgia for a moment — what happens when you simply listen to them as two instruments?

We explore the sound, architecture, features, modulation, oscillators, filters, and overall character of both synths to answer the question many synth players are asking:
Can a modern hybrid synth compete with one of the greatest analog synths ever built?

The Super 8 clearly takes inspiration from the Jupiter-8, but it also introduces modern features and flexibility that vintage synths simply didn’t have. So which one would you choose in your studio?

By the end of the video we compare:

Raw sound and tone
Oscillator character
Filters and modulation
Modern workflow vs vintage simplicity
Features and flexibility
And finally… the price difference that might surprise you

Whether you're into vintage synths, modern analog hybrids, classic Roland gear, or cutting-edge instruments like the UDO Super 8, this comparison will give you a clear idea of what each synth does best."

UDO SUPER GEMINI BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS

video upload by elz production

"As the second synth in the 'Super' series, the Gemini represents a quantum leap in UDO's technology – building on the acclaimed rich sound pioneered by George Hearn and the Super 6. Adopting a true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors, Gemini will take you on an adventure of spectral dynamics, of glittering frequency and shattering subharmonics, of comfort and discord, expectations and surprises."

UDO DMNO - It's bad

video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie - After Hours

"Subjective opinions within, those who do not understand subjective opinion may be excused lol

Boring NAMM 2026 Noir here again lol
DUH, it's bad ass, OBVIOUSLY, the UDO team are kings of giving us classssssy old school sounds, amazing futuristic soundscapes all while putting it inside a gorgeuos box, imagine being able to get down on something that feels as good as it looks. See people as a musician, sound isn't everything, it's playability, it's easy of use, it's also is something inspirational. The DMNO is every single one of those things. Synths have gone stale, it honestly sucks, I'm not a synth crazy person, I'm a musician who loves cool instruments, getting excited has been real hard the last few years, hence why I've been playing shows and making albums way more. Can't be stuck inside playing the same ole thing companies think is 'groundbreaking, you should be excited' UDO is the truth, and they did it again. This is truly the new Cream Dream."

UDO Super 6 // DAY 6 #jamuary2026

video upload by Dexba

"Washing my brain today without any beat, with a single instrument, on the floor: throwback to the OG Dexba 😄 The Super 6 by UDO is so effortlessly cool.
I am not strictly talking about the sound it produces, but the whole experience: tactile, visual, and auditory. JAMuary is still at the beginning, so I didn't get too crazy with the patch, and I also wanted some relax and pure sound/chord enjoyment.
This recording made me make peace with my OB-6 sale; we should never sell anything, some sales hurt more than others, and until this session, the OB6 was one of those hurting the most. Not anymore!
Yes, playing in this position is not ideal, and you'll inevitably hear the spot where something slipped, but it helps me so much reconnect with the pure joy of playing, outside of the room I've appointed studio.
I hope you'll like it! 🧡"

Dub Techno / Dub Ambient liveset - Home Concert 78

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"For the first Home Concert of 2026 I recorded a liveset with Dub Ambient and Dub Techno music. The set starts with three Dub Ambient tracks in the 80bpm range. Followed by two faster Dub Techno tracks featuring sounds from the Super-6 and Oberheim OB6. The sets closes with a slower Dub Techno track with washy chords from the Roland Juno 60. The music of this set is exclusively available here on Youtube until I finish the productions and can upload the music to Bandcamp and the streaming services.

All music was created by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were involved in the production of the music and artwork.
