Which one is for you? UDO Super6 or Super8 .. or Gemini?


video upload by Starsky Carr

"While I've got these 2 UDO synths 2 in the studio I thought I'd put them together. Thy are very similar. The Super 6 costs less, has 4 octaves but longer sliders. The Super 8 has an amazing keyboard, more voices and a couple of extras.

i thought sonically they would be the same, but the filter is different. It's more resonant on the Super 8 and the modulation amount is much greater ... much more like my Jupiter6. Something I noticed when I put the Super6 and the Jupiter 6 together was less mod. This has been improved... loads better!

My overall takehome is -- if you're a keyboard player (not tweaker) it's the Super8 all day long. The Super 6 fits neater on my rack, and still has the poly aftertouch with the upgraded keyboard. I'm so fickle the Super 8 caught my eye as it looks more like my Jupiter 6 - the dimensions have a real classic feel. Being practical I should keep the Super 6, but who's lead by their head not their heart? ;)"

video upload by Retrokits

"Another MIDI Effect on the RK008 is a little utility called Note2CC. It allows you to convert/add MIDI note messages to Control Change messages. There Are three modes, available under Digit 4 in the MIDI FX selection menu:

Velocity to CC :
Takes the MIDI Note velocity value for use on CC values
Note to CC :
Takes the MIDI Note number value for use on CC values
Random to CC:
Trigger a random CC value Generation on a MIDI Note on message.

You can use these in different ways, for example adding random panning or trigger filters and even use a track for MIDI sidechain usage."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #144: Behringer WASP Deluxe - Song 1


video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first, quite relaxing recording with the Behringer WASP Deluxe. It is a gnarly, little monophonic synthesizer with two digital oscillators, an analog filter switchable between LPF, HPF, notch and bandpass filters, an LFO with 6 waveforms, including random and noise, and two envelope generators with repeat function.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals: Gamechanger Audio AUTO Chorus, Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone."

SONICWARE CyDrums & Strymon NIGHTSKY | Imprints 2025-02-16 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using CyDrums and NIGHTSKY. It is composed of a slowly evolving melody and intricate beats.

On CyDrums, the synthesizer and synth bass sounds have their note lengths set to 1/2, allowing them to transition more gradually than the other beats. The beat elements are further shaped with parameter locks to adjust panning and release.

NIGHTSKY applies reverb and filtering, with the filter manipulated via the HIGH CUT function. Additionally, a slight modulation is applied to the pitch."

Euterpe - Itinera (Destruction Behemoth)


video upload by NOISEBUG

https://www.noisebug.net/products/eut...



"Born out of the first stage in Euterpe’s 4U rack-mount filterbank (Vertice), the itinera is a VCF, distortion and audio destruction behemoth. Featuring a heafty 100% analog preamp, four filter types (notch, hipass band and low pass), discrete (transistor) overdrive and diode clipping stages, and carefully selected cv inputs, the sonic palette is massive and there’s really nothing quite this machine. The giant knobs, jumbo switches and well spaced panel invite you in and provoke you to destroy whatever signal you have ready for patching. The tonal outputs are unique and bold. Resonances sound intensely full, with characteristics unique to this circuit. Aggressive yet pleasant. As if a wasp filter was built out of tubes. But there are no tubes here. Whatever magic is happening behind the panel sounds incredible and the results are addictive and an absolute a joy to play with.

The Euterpe - Itinera is available right now from Nosiebug. These filters are carefully hand crafted in Italy. Nosiebug currently has serial numbers 33 through 38 out 50 units total.
