New UDO Super 8 Press Release & Pics

You've seen the SUPERBOOTH videos.

The official press release follows:

The UDO Super 8

The Super 8 is a 16-voice polyphonic, bi-timbral analog-hybrid performance synthesizer. Employing superior hands-on controls, an expressive 61-note weighted keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch and all the powerful, flexible and addictive sound of the UDO Audio family.

Overview

Introducing the next evolution in the Super series. At the core of the Super 8 is two independent binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer signal chains using UDO’s proprietary and proven synthesizer technology. With up to 16 voices of polyphony and two unique timbres each with their own independent effect chain, this instrument is analog reimagined. Like its larger sibling the Super Gemini, voices and timbral layers can be split, dualled, sequenced all at the touch of a single control.

Powered by complex FPGA digital oscillators, the Super 8 is decorated with expansive tonal features such as wave morphing, cross & ring modulation, bi-directional sync and an all-analog signal path to the output, inspired by the analog poysynth heavyweights of lore. Equipped with a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, left hand performance controls and 256 performance and patch slots, 32 interchangeable waveforms and 16 sequences, the Super 8 balances power, playability and performance.

Sitting in between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini in size and power, the Super 8 puts the player first using high quality tactile control elements with our user-centric intuitive design philosophy that inspires exploration and sonic play. Adopting a similar true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors like the Gemini, and yet retaining the portability and road-friendly personality of the Super 6. The Super 8 will be a long time friend and partner in your adventures in sound.

Super. Evolved.

As the next evolution in the Super family, the 16-voice Super 8 sits confidently between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini. This synth is the distillation of the UDO philosophy of the power of play — with the dual cores and playability features of it’s bigger cousin, all in a more compact and simplified presentation — it’s the best of both worlds.


Duality in Sound

The Super 8 allows you to effortlessly transition between two independent synth layers, inspiring textural, deep and rich soundscapes at a touch. With UDO’s championed powerful, flexible and immediate sound, this synthesizer is designed to take you on a sonic journey.


Respected Tradition
Meets Cutting-Edge Innovation

Using the tried and tested UDO framework of state-of-the-art FPGA digital architecture with archetypal voltage-controlled synthesizer technology, the Super 8 is a harmonious meeting of old and new in ideas and techniques. All contained within a no-expense-spared build with the highest quality components, The Super 8 is an instrument for life.

video upload by UDO Audio

"Hazel Meets The Super 8

We sent Hazel one of our prototype builds of our new instrument, the Super 8. We wanted her to capture her first impressions of the synth, and take a little dive into the sonic possibilities, and I think we can all agree the sounds she built from scratch are nothing short of outstanding.

The UDO Super 6 paired with a reverb pedal is 🌈🦄🐧

video upload by Speldosa

"For this piece, named "Cooldown", I brought out my UDO Super 6 and paired it up with my Boss Reverb RV-6 for some reverb. Everything then goes through the Elektron Syntakt, which in turn sens everything to the Elektron Analog Heat +FX. What you hear is recorded directly from the Analog Heat +FX without any post-processing applied."

UDO Super Gemini - Split Mode Exploration

video upload by Nick Komarnicki

"Exploring split mode improvising with some patches I made. Really enjoying working my way through learning all the things the synth can do. Keep getting lost in designing sounds as it’s very satisfying to mess around with all the settings and build out different sounds."

UDO Super Gemini - A Winter’s Night(single layer improvisation)

video upload by Nick Komarnicki

"First couple weeks with the Super Gemini. Having some fun improvising with a chill single layer patch I made. DDS2 set to make some wind effects with noise while DDS1 is using LFO1 as a second oscillator for the melody. Reminded me of a windy, snowy winter walk through the trees. Not a revolutionary patch by any means but has been relaxing and so inspiring playing around with the Gemini."

U.D.O. SUPER GEMINI & SUPER 6 live performance

video upload by synthlegends

"Live Performance of the U.D.O. Super Gemini in Split mode (first tune) and Dual mode (second tune) plus the Super 6. So I played live three sounds.

The first tune is a 90 ies style rave track with super saw arpeggio and fat octabass sound on Super Gemini plus reso sweep sound on the super 6.

The second tune is a layered piano acompaning with the super 6 arpeggio."

UDO SUPER GEMINI custom performances - no talking

video upload by synthlegends

"In this video I demonstrate my own programmed presets and also one or two factory presets. I played them mainly in DUAL MODE, so I used two presets and layered them. I recorded them via both output pairs for upper and lower sound directly in the audio interface without additional processing or FX. The SUPER GEMINI is a very flexible and great sounding hybrid synthesiser with a lot of insane performance and live tweaking possibilities. You can use up to 8 pedals, the touch strip and a poly aftertouch keyboard for multiple routings. Thanks for watching this video, hope till the ende, because it is quite long."
