Artists Meet The UDO Super Gemini - 01: Georgie Ward

[@johnpaulpatton9786]

It must have given George immense pleasure to see years of his hard work manifested in an impromptu composition by a trained musician. Kind of like knowing that you raised awesome kids before setting them free into the world.

[@Dubsteppah]

What an incredible, beautiful instrument. I would be lucky to even see one with my eyes in my lifetime.

[@kellymoses8566]

It's only $4500. Not completely out of reach.

[@DunEddyG]

The gorgeous smile at 6 minutes in says it all, like a kid in the candy store. Didn't know this lady, but she's a gem. Nice video: makes me smile 🙂

[@X22GJP]

At 6 minutes in you see the top of her head.

[@tobiasneumann5587]

I love my Super 6 but this one is really tempting. Congratulations for this masterpiece of a instrument!

[@greybearmusic1174]

Georgie has brought such a touch to the synth world. Killer performance! Totoro would have jammed this ~ That's what the instrument deserves! Killer job UDO

[@PanicGirlVids]

What a gorgeous synthesizer, both sonically and visually 🔥

[@leejones-h9c]

You gave a very generous life to the instrument, thank you.

[@renstroost]

Fantiastic @udo_audio, I hope this is a series because what a brilliant way to show off the new synth. Kudos to Georgie for being awesome.

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

I love the old Nintendo controller colour scheme.

[@ingolf7411]

Georgie Ward is dancing over the keys. So nice and beautiful. And one more great presentation of this synth masterpiece 👍.

[@tapeexperiments]

I dig this trend of keyboard beds offering more opportunity/options for expression. And *all* keyboards should come with a ribbon controller! 🙂 Well done!

[@niceheartwhitesuit]

Beautiful instrument and even more beautiful performance!

[@DestroyER82]

CS-80 philosophy... allowing the synthesizer (polyaftertouch, velocity, ribbon, splits etc..) to be as good as its user / player / performer is.

[@LFOVCF]

That performance at 7 minutes, was sublime

[@Art-zs6sl]

Very nice! Sounds great!

[@galaxiesmerge_original]

CS80 Renaissance Synthesizer reborn as the Super Gemini! A future classic. Timely. For performance and performers. Designed and built by a true musician and not a boardroom engineer!

[@Tvaroh]

It's unbelievable, can't wait for mine!

[@g3cd]

Love that you do the artists series now - that was a huge thing for the Osmose release. Also George is like one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable synth designers, like a Dave Smith of the 2020s, I hope to see a lot more from you! (maybe even a revival of the rack-synths? The Super Gemini is just way too big for my desk)

[@ericfraser728]

What a synth, what a demo!

[@toslinked]

this is how to present an instrument. with skill and passion.

[@grief1]

Looking dapper, Mr Hearn 🔥

[@hansbrems]

What an amazing synth and what a great idea to have such a talented artist show it off. 🙂

[@tomfenn7149]

It's not a re-release of the Yamaha CS80 that everyone wanted, but THAT ribbon controller.

[@grindhouseglitch]

I will own one of these someday!

[@larswillsen]

OMG send me one!! :D

[@kenb7540]

Wonderful demo 👏👏🎶

[@ToyKeeper]

Crazy awesome synth. I could buy the instrument, but I can't buy the skill to use it like she does!

[@kellymoses8566]

That touch strip is so neat.

[@Jin-Hu]

Guys, excellent idea, both synth and Georgie are a beautiful pairing, lovely stuff, you knocked Moog one off from my “if I could have any single synth” wish list, gorgeous!

[@peglapegla]

This is beautiful

[@markus9541]

Loved this! Well done :)

[@donwrangler]

Good thing I'm bald already! This thing will blow your hair clean off!😂

[@sgmaelstrom]

😂

[@The_Sonic_Oasis]

As demonstrated in the video 😂😂😂😂

[@donwrangler]

@@sgmaelstrom Hope you're wearing a helmet bud!

[@Jhesterdrums]

Oh. Hell. Yeah.

[@21jajego1]

Yeah... Oh... So coool... Oh.. Yeahh

[@easibroeasibrode6381]

Me trajo recuerdos de los juegos de zelda

[@PanopticMotion]

I'd like to know how well this ribbon will withstand wear and tear over time.

[@kellymoses8566]

Have you ever worn out a cell phone touchscreen?

[@paulsavio6846]

"once you hit a note that's it" Maybe that's true on an analog piano, but hit a note, grab a knob, use aftertouch...on almost any synth...there are a million things you can do after hitting that note!

[@TheadventuresofMrTibbs]

When is it gonna be available? I’ve preordered but the wait is agonising 😂

[@issiewizzie]

i'm not good Keyboard Player... However, I want one. My very own synth since 1991.

[@DasDoktorchen]

Nice 👍

[@victoratanasov6390]

@udo_audio Is a desktop version coming any time soon?

[@PNovak87]

can you do binaural on one layer and mono on another?

[@udo_audio]

Absolutley!

[@PNovak87]

@@udo_audio oh, woah. hell yeah

[@renevanderkraats3811]

The looks of the synth aren't my thing (although it looks really solidly built), but the sounds emanating from that thing....amazing.

[@bigmoneysteppa]

How much for your grey sound creator?

[@tommyfeinstoff]

😮

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

I hope, the manual is very comprehensive.

[@nathanbell6962]

The super 6 manual is very detailed

[@ddr4ig]

This machine is cold to the touch but I know it has a warm heart in there...

[@MRFThorne]

I still felt like I was waiting to see videos with a bit more "musicality" in them for this synthesiser - rather than merely demonstrating the admittedly mind-blowing levels of expressivity you can get through tweaking the different parameters, but rarely accompanied by playing any "real" music. At least, there is something along these lines 5 and a half minutes into this video - sounding absolutely superb! I look forward to the other videos in this series :)

[@xiaoxia5]

that's why i'm waiting for Matt Johnson to do a video using the SG.

[@MRFThorne]

@@xiaoxia5 Yes, I love Matt's videos - his one on the Super 6 was exceptional. Ultimately, I ended up getting a Hydrasynth (which I love), but I am keen to break out of the "margarine" of digital synths, and get into the "butter" of analogue ones! I love what UDO have done so far. I am interested in seeing who the other artists in this mini-series are going to be!

[@fattyboombatty7736]

Sounds more CS80 than a CS80. Who needs a DAW

[@tyromelive2851]

Certainly! The CS80 produces a distinct sound when you apply effects to it, just like many other synths from the 70s and 80s. This one is an amazing synth.

[@dictabeat]

I love videos like this, but I'd love to see this used in a more practical setting. Slap a drum machine onto it. Make a jam with it. Show us how practical it is in real life aside from the space experimental sounds.

[@donwrangler]

We're going to jam with the Super Gemini this weekend! I can't wait!

[@marvinjones4415]

Awesome playing, but enough of the pads. I'm ready to hear some cutting 1990-era Front Line Assembly bass lines out of this thing!💀🤖😂

[@final_mile_music9713]

Gemini. Twin. 2 super sixes in one box?

[@a-maize-zing]

4500 usd

[@MeAlexSenna]

What’s different? Definitely still lacking a basic screen 🥸

[@thebroadcastuk]

For me the lack of screen is a good thing. I have one of these already and I can say that I never have felt like a wanted a screen

[@ERYKJACKNIFE]

Man, can George just leave the room so someone else can enjoy the bloody synthesizer for for heaven sake. 😂

[@georgehearn4651]

Fair

[@brutallyremastered4255]

My dolphins are dying.

[@stacy_osorio]

Man, so sad that you've abandoned the Super 6 and its user base. Thanks for making us feel very isolated and not very important.

[@ruudvincent6078]

Is that right? I am planning to buy a Super 6 soon but a user base seems for me more than important

[@jontip]

Where have UDO said they have abandoned the Super 6? They’ve just released a new colour for Christ’s sake 😂 The architecture of both synths is fairly similar so I expect updates for years to come.

[@stacy_osorio]

I take it you don't own one? If you did, then you would be in the forums wondering what is happening as well. Cheers

[@jontip]

@@stacy_osorio thank you, I didn’t know that actually. In UDO’s defence, this is a tiny company atm so I expect resources were focused in the Gemini. I guess, once they have built up the staffing expertise, time will tell how committed they are to updates for their lineup.

[@stacy_osorio]

I love my S6. Its the best synth I own hands down. Its cuts through a mix like butter, but can be dreamy whimsical. I mentioned before they are a small company and I respect that. I'm just venting on the internet I suppose so I can be heard lol. It just needs a few things to make it tighter with our DAW's n such. I know one (firmware) is coming, we just don't know when thats all.@@jontip
