Dave Mackay - UDO Super Gemini Improvisation

My first improv on this very special synthesiser, the UDO Super Gemini.

[@dylantlop]

Been coming back to this video for months. Such a killer improv. Just received my gemini yesterday. You were definitely one of the reasons I kept my pre-order.

[@itsdrawkcab5899]

Came back to listen to it again, sounds absolutely full and super composition!!

[@galaxiesmerge_original]

Mine arrives this weekend! I own a CS80. The UDO Super Gemini feels like what a re-release of the CS80 should be.😊

Great performance 👏👏🎶

[@badinkstudios]

Reminds me so much of Jarre! Fantastic

[@DavidLee07]

Brilliant dual improvisation on both notes and sounds. Lovely!

The Super Gemini is the new "it" synth. Fantastic performance.

[@maxmeier532]

no it isnt. these arent the 70s. and this isnt a prophet 5. there is tons of analog polyphonic synth available right now. and at its price point of around 4000€ the Gemini is extremely hard to sell. George is a nice guy it seems, so I just hope he didnt bet his family home on the Gemini. For 4 grand you can get a Prophet 10, almost a Deckard's Dream II. The Gemini has certainly not established itself as a future classic synth. The Super 6 was somewhat reasonable as it was a round 2500 € around the time it came out. The Gemini is basically a Super 6 with some add ons.

@@maxmeier532, They are just tools, man. Play want you want. Enjoy it. All of them are great.

[@Tvaroh]

@@maxmeier532 Gemini is TWO Super 6 with addons, which explains its price, considering it's an analog synth which requires real chips. And frankly it's much better than any Prophet or whatever.

@@maxmeier532What? It’s fabulous precisely BECAUSE it’s not a Prophet 10. And I have a Prophet 10….

[@martybyrnemusic]

Was not expecting that to go where it went. HOLY SHIT! That was fantastic! That felt like a song for the end of the world! EPIC!

[@namenaim1560]

Well turned,slid and pressed. Lovely composition. Thanks.

[@DrJ3RK8]

Also listening a second time. I've actually got one of these on the way now, so I've been watching everything again. This is one of (if not) my favorite Gemini tunes.

[@DaveMackayMusic]

thank you!

[@CreativeSpiral]

Nice performance!

[@logemann74]

These first seconds game me serious Nils Frahm Vibes

[@antonellorapuano6388]

yeah, remembering the Juno

[@galaxiesmerge_original]

Nice improv!

[@TheLazerTank]

Incredible. Probably my 4th time returning to this video for a relisten. Sure the synth sounds fantastic, but the real gem is that composition, it could have made a rhythm wolf sound good.

[@HappyB0T]

Woweee

[@NotSoSilentPete]

Very nice!

[@markusosthoff5219]

This Synth looks so sexy...

[@itsdrawkcab5899]

Sounds sick! Question about the knobs, are they orange or red?

[@CaidicusProductions]

Time to throw my original UDO Super 6 in the garbage and order one of these!

[@marcopernot5839]

Bravo, belle performance ;) Hold button or pedal for lower section?

[@dylantlop]

One follow-up question! I’m curious if you remember what your signal chain was when recording with the Gemini? I’m running directly into an Apollo Twin X and getting a relatively low signal output. Any special sauce you’d recommend on the way in to the interface? Thanks a bunch!

[@DaveMackayMusic]

I'm running mine through a Phoenix Audio Ascent Two

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

decent synth, but all the magic is in your hands really
