UDO Super Gemini - A modern classic synthesizer...

video upload by RJ Thompson

"The UDO Super Gemini came into my life in 2024, and it has firmly found its place as my favourite instrument in my studio.

So much so that James (keys player) and I thought we'd put together a short demo... the first we've ever done for any instrument.

I've created a bunch of custom patches, nostalgic and cinematic, for the Gemini (also compatible with the Super 8). I'll be releasing them as a preset pack soon. All patches are only utilising a SINGLE layer of the Gemini... imagine what can be achieved by combining patches on both layers.

I'm not affiliated with UDO and I don't get any financial benefit from demoing this synth, but if you're interested in buying one, here are some links below..."

Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the Prophet-6 and RJ Thompson

"RJ Thompson has built a name for himself in recent months as one of the UK’s strongest up-and-coming singer-songwriters. His poignant lyrics and deeply-felt songs are set against a colourful (and at times nostalgic) soundscape that goes far beyond modern-day singer-songwriter stereotypes.

RJ’s hard-won success has come through consistence and persistence, having played innumerable grass-roots music venues, pubs, and clubs in his native Northeast England. His breakthrough came when a sound engineer for Live Aid organiser and Ultravox frontman Midge Ure was working at one of RJ’s open mic performances. The engineer liked what he heard and recommended RJ as a support act, leading to more than 30 shows touring the UK and Europe. Support shows with Gabrielle Aplin, Deacon Blue and Jools Holland (including a performance at the Royal Albert Hall) soon followed, as well as several EPs and a live album.

We chatted with RJ about how he’s using the Prophet-6."
