[@johnpaulpatton9786]

Great review! These two synths are instant classics that will still be used 30-40 years from now. We're living in a second wave of synth innovation, comparable to the late 70s & early 80s. These are, basically, the Juno / Jupiter / OB / Prophet of our day.

[@tonystephen6312]

what ;)

[@kadiummusic]

If only Roland, Yamaha and Korg hadn't sold out analogue for digital. Imagine how many great synths we've missed out on. 🤔

[@richc848]

This was the most helpful demo of the Polybrute I've seen. You showed that it can make some lovely warm and useful musical sounds, not just the kind of vague, glassy, reverb-drenched ambience shown in most demo videos. From other people's videos I had no idea it could sound this good. The Super 6 sounds great here too.

[@darrenweight5972]

Great video! I just got my Polybrute a couple weeks ago. You have a great way of really digging into things. I’d love to have you do a deep dive into the Polybrute.

[@modeswitching]

One of the joys of the PB for me is setting the lfos to poly mode, the envelopes to looping mode, and modulating them all against each other to create evolving rhythmic effects. It’s such a fun playground to explore. On the other hand, I can’t deny there is something very special about the sound of the Super6. I have tried very hard to reproduce the binaural sounds heard in this one video on the PB, but it’s just not quite as magical: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmbPcoKCep2Ap80

[@Winterdagen]

Great comparison, thank you!

[@DavidLilja]

Came here because I wanted to have a quick overview of them both and you’ve nailed that. I’m not thinking about getting one or the other - which is lucky - because they absolutely complete each other. Get them both! 😄👏🏻 But I’ll get the PolyBrute first.

[@russellbutterfield1419]

Nice one Starsky. Great video. I think a Prophet 5 v Polybrute would be a good one, but the Polybrute has a very unique sound on which I have not heard before. Though the UDO sounds nice. I really prefer the creamy analog warmth of the Polybrute, I am still getting the hang of mine. It's brilliant.

[@eddievanheinous666]

Great review Starsky. I held off on the Super 6 - mainly because of the price tag - but also because I talked myself into treating my Rev2 as a decent replacement since you can also do binaural patching. If you can get both it would be awesome if you could do a comparison. Cheers

[@JimDaneker]

Absolutely fantastic video my friend… such a great comparison. Can’t wait to see the Polybrute up against a Prophet 5/10! I’ve got a PolyBrute on the way and I am greatly looking forward to doing that myself against my Prophet 5!

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks.. tbh I thought I'd already put the PolyB up against the P5...Haha - just checked and no! I probably got distracted after setting it all up.. duh!

[@JimDaneker]

@@StarskyCarr I think you did one against the P6, which is probably somewhat closer since it has more modern features and built-in effects… but yeah, in terms of raw tone, it will be an interesting comparison! From all the videos I’ve watched, it seems like the PolyBrute’s oscillators lack a little of the raw power & edge of a Moog, Sequential or Oberheim, but make up for it in the overall smooth/creamy tone. I’m anxious to compare the two myself. Your video here is the best comparison I’ve seen in terms of hitting all the marks!

Very looking forward to the Super6 desktop with MPE update. The Polybrute is beautiful but it's just packed with features I personally never use much and I doubt they'll implement MPE.

[@stuartmccallum91]

Any specific reason why you don’t think they will add MPE to the PB?? Seems like the mod matrix would work fantastically with mpe

[@HiLoMusic]

I loooove to the UDO super 6, It sounds like the future in a sea of traditionally-focused synthesizers

[@psysword]

Exactly my thoughts

[@robinwilliams5348]

Great video. Thanks!!! As always super interesting. Did you ever get around to comparing the Polybrute to your Prophet 5? 😀 I really ummed and ahhed about buying the polybrute after, originally, planning on buying a Rev2

[@ramonkey2939]

I bought the polybrute first then found an awesome deal on the REV 2 so now I have both.

[@PacificIslandDrive]

Nice comparison! IMHO, both are different enough, to justify owning both. After owning the PB for nine months now, I’ve found that it’s a truly unique VCO polysynth, that is capable of sounds that no other VCO synth can mimic (think Sequential/Moog/Oberheim DNA, mixed together with Yamaha’s classic Frequency Modulation DNA). Though it can mimic many classic VCO polysynth’s of the past, it can FAR surpass them sonically. The voice-spread can quickly go from dead center, to full wide stereo separation, and in-between. Otherwise, I look forward to UDO possible future release of a ‘Super 6’ software editor/librarian, for those of us that prefer seeing patch-name/#, and detailed editing perimeters (I truly feel it’s the one thing that will really help sell this synth to the mass-market). Otherwise, it has a very impressive binaural feature, that few other synths can match.

[@StarskyCarr]

The TRUTH. only both will do 😂 it’s the only true path

[@jamesknight8908]

Totally torn between the two, both bring big grins. unfortunately i cant afford either at present. Great vid, thanks.

They both seem so stellar. Both at the top of my wish but unlikely ever have list. I also wish I could try any of these well regarded contemporary analog/semi-analog synths out in person. Outside of the world of youtube's crunched up audio.

[@pirateradio808]

fwiw places I've seen the PolyBrute in person: Guitar Center Nashville, Chicago Music Exchange you just have to take a vacation to a great music city and you'll be able to get hands on with some really nice stuff; they aren't going to show up in my little town (or probably yours)

[@swanofnutella4734]

@@pirateradio808 Sounds about right. When I lived in LA I could visit Guitar Center on Sunset, and not only did they have some very interesting gear, but the area could sustain 5 or more little specialist boutiques within walking distance. Been a while, and though I'm sure it's different, it's likely better than what's on offer near me.

Both synths are great. I prefer more the PoluBrute, though. It has awesome modulation capabilities, I like the filter options and the experimental potential of this synth. It's a matter of taste. Either of the two could be a good choice.

[@peterkadarmusic9728]

If you put the Steiner filter type around 9-10 o’clock you get a notch filter. Great for some Oberheim-like sounds.

Really great videos! I'd like to hear the UDO playing your big ARP midi sequence (I believe it starts at around 4 minutes, I heard it a thousand times :)) you had the Behringer 2600 play in your Demo video. Is the UDO capable of sounding like the 2600?

[@julienrp7511]

I like them both, although I think I prefer the PolyBrute, butI have to admit the Super 6 is very cool too! Still, if I had to choose, I would pick up your cat, which is by far the coolest! Great video by the way

Interesting comparison. You said you had them both on loan. Did you ever reacquire on or both of them?

[@jno8039]

I wish a test and compare of the Novation Summit

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Both synths are fantastic, almost iconic but my allegiance goes to my Polybrute. It sounds glorious, the fx are magical and the morph function is massively useful and yields some really beautiful shifting patches. The Polybrute is the most ‘acoustic’ sounding synth I’ve ever heard, sometimes orchestral. Saying that the UDO looks and sounds sexy and the stereo filter is a really nice touch.

[@geephlips]

100 percent agree. Often I will be messing around with it and out pops a zither or a hurdy gurdy or a hybrid of a harpsichord and acoustic guitar. I’ve never had so many “what the hell just happened?” moments with an analog synth. It’s got a ton of swamp mojo or something, and I never imagined I would use that term to describe a synthesizer. It’s a synth with the soul of acoustic and electromechanical instruments. So in a way, it’s even more vintage sounding than synths made 40 years ago.

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

@@geephlips check this out, I’ve got violins in to oboe’s in to pianos in one glorious patch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6KyiJd-hL-rfJY

[@darkcognitive]

The PolyBrute is an utter monster of a synth, or should i say ‘brute’? Because it oozes raw power. The morphing 2 patches together creates some insanely cinematic sound moments, and just the sheer amount of things you can do just keeps me occupied forever and impossible to describe even over several huge video reviews, let alone one youtube comment. Add the Mod Matrix to have any function control any other function / control / knob just adds even more fun to the mix. For me, it’s like having access to the past and the future at the same time….the moment I recreated that THX sound from the start of movies, i almost shat my pants with joy. Love the Super 6, but for me personally, I’d pick the Polybrute every time…..although I’d rather just own them both so the super 6 is still on the shopping list for sure.

[@crybo]

They both sound amazing, loving the pad sounds from them. The desktop Super 6 has me interested but what to sell is the question?

[@chrisdigiuseppe7717]

Sell nothing. Life is too short for regret.

[@davebellamy4867]

44:26 Sounds like a Prophet. For a few seconds! 44:55 Ditto.

[@TheNimasan]

both synths are magic... plane and simple!

[@Gainn]

I have a grey UDO 6. It's beautiful. I spend more time pissing around on it than actually making paydirt though. It's immersive enough that a whole day can pass and you don't realise. Patch morphing was cool on the old Yamaha VA's, but I never really used it in live settings. The Arturia looks like something from Star Trek, but it just didn't grab my attention like the UDO. Looking forward to the UDO 6² so I can take it with me - that keyboard is too precious to take it out of it's slot.

[@JBrm]

Usability wise, the PolyBrute wipes the floor with almost every other analog poly, including the Super 6. Except if you have to carry it ;) I dig the sound of the Super 6, though!

[@StarskyCarr]

💪

[@pirateradio808]

you make both these synths sound amazing.... the PolyBrute is more attractive to me right now because I want something deep... but the Super 6 generally sounds prettier to me, for whatever that's worth.

[@countrymetalman2915]

I like the cat on the left and UDO 6 ;-)

[@edtumog]

Love the cat.

[@klstay]

I finally got around to this... Polybrute is a masterpiece while Super 6 is a VERY nice synth with a few things holding it back IMHO. (Too easy to get lost working with or checking some mod matrix status, that goofy bend/mod wheel, at least for me the cool binaural stuff < true bi-timbral) If I could choose any poly no budget or strings attached it would be a Schmidt, if limited to $10k a Code with all the extras (Moog One not even a close 2nd), under $5k Polybrute every single time though Super 6 and Summit would make me think about it. Especially after such a great comparison.

[@station2station544]

My OCD problem can't get over the 1981 Atari wood grain puck thingy in the LHC area of the PolyBrute. I know it is quite functional but it really bothers me. But that's MY personal problem. Starsky, both are cool synths but you keeping the Prophet 5 (or 10 if you get the newly offered voice card upgrade) is the right thing to do. It's the heritage of that thing that ticks a lot of boxes. And when you start doing the FM stuff on the Prophet, like the Japan Tin Drum and Ghosts Richard Barbieri tones....whew its awesome. Thumbs up given for the review (and mostly the bengal cat)

[@CuriousDroid]

Perfect timing as my Polybrute has developed a faulty voice so it wont auto calibrate and means VCO2 has a wonky note every 6th press, so it looks like that will be going back to be repaired. Looking at the Super Six how does it compare the Roland System 8 soundwise with the similar filters, though the system 8 is fully digital and the Super six has analogue ones. EDIT - 29-9-21 - I found the problem, there is a faulty SQR wave output on voice 2 of VCO2, its missing completely, that's what is stopping it from calibrating. Mine must have died after about a week or so. I see a lot of people saying that the auto calibrate has to be run again and again before it works but its is worth checking all the outputs of the VCOs if you having similar issues, if one is low or missing then it will cause the calibrate to fail too. Mines now gone back for repair, Juno where I bought it were very good so i'm hoping that it wont be too long before its back.

[@FakeGlasses]

I compared the system 8 and the super 6 for an hour at perfect circuit when I was looking and the super 6 clearly stood above it in terms of sound, build quality etc (it should as its near double the price). YMMV.

[@josephs2791]

That sucks about your polybrute! I also have a polybrute and on occasion I get a funk noise around the 6th note but typically restarting it or calibration fixes it. I love the machine it's incredible

[@nickkarach76]

I’m also having this issue with a voice out of tune on my polybrute, just got it yesterday though and calibration seems to fix it. Still went out a few times in just one day of use so far.

[@SPAZZOID100]

[@nectariosm]

PolyBrute sounds more alive, runs circles around the UDO in terms of sound design and the 2 VCFs on the Polybrute are very different and completely transform the synth.

[@nectariosm]

@ghost mall I guess "hi-fi" is a bit vague, as even though I think the binaural effect of the Super 6 is very cool, I find it a bit lifeless sounding. I am not going to say it sounds like a plug in, cause plug ins these days sound awesome and the UDO filters do help a bit. And yeah, I prefer a lively and raw tone that I can smooth out to my liking during the production stage. I am not even a big fan of Steiner Parker filters, but the Polybrute seems to pull it off very nicely. But I am not a keyboard player, I like wild synths that do crazy sounds and push the envelope. Tastes and all that.

[@kierenmoore3236]

VCOs vs Digital Oscillators

[@Sashabooboo]

10:37 Starsky............Mr. Carr............Sir...............Question for you. Are the lights blinking on the synth or is this a cool looking unintended effect due to frame rate stuff I only pretend to understand? It looks neat.

Haha…. It’s a frame rate/shutter angle strobe thing. I’ve since got a camera that can compensate 😃

[@HOLODECK-MUSIC-PROJECT]

[@torbenanschau6641]

These synths with 8 voices would be faithful successors to legends like a Jupiter 8 or Prophet, if there was just a music market for songs that would let these things shine. Nowadays I wonder if any mix really would have the space to fit in the binaural mode of the Super6 or the crazy capabilities of the PB.

[@KrazyRobot]

Truth

[@swanofnutella4734]

Don't worry about what's happening at the top of the charts. Actually interesting music rarely wanders through there and it's been that way for decades. Meanwhile interesting content is always being produced on the sidelines/underground. And if you find there is nobody out there doing what you want to hear, that's a good thing for your creative output potential.

[@tyromelive2851]

Own both of them, but the UDO will stand time… Also, try it in a mix, the UDO blends in flawlessly, the Arturia is another story. Same happened with the MatrixBrute… never felt right.

[@MusicZeroOne]

I've had zero issues getting the PB sitting in a mix. Like any other instrument.

[@aqueous5099]

I’m sorry, I got both as well, how do you have trouble blending the poly in? Quite literally the opposite for me, though, it isn’t hard to tame the Super 6 relative to other tracks.

[@chrisdigiuseppe7717]

Try some external EQ

[@merlinoner]

I like the Super 6 from the beginning but the other day I tried one in a store, and I didn't have much fun with it, it wasn't as spontaneous as I would have liked to, but that must be my own fault... The thing I really was a bit disappointed about is that the faders didn't always have the same amount mechanical resistance, and at this price point I really would have thought the quality of construction had to be perfect...

[@StarskyCarr]

thats odd, this one feels bullet proof.

At the grand old age of 53 it also looks a lot more like the synths I used to dream of as a kid, standing in the music shop in Manchester, looking at a whole wall of utter wonderfulness. (Yes, that's a word now.) Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. (Still prefer the Polybrute, though!)

[@final_mile_music9713]

Both. That’s the answer.

[@MrDschiesus]

I think The UDO might be the best sounding Synth ive ever heard however i decided against it and for the polybrute. I love the morphing capabilities, the expression via the ribbon and the morphe and last but not least... the layout. I know most prefer the old school look of the UDO, i however love the concept of the matrix (also might make the sequencer usable for me for the first time) and the possibility to see all the modulation going on on a glance. Maybe if im more fluid with everything i might get the UDO as well cause that binural sound is outstanding.For now, because of the reasons above and the sheer flexability, i go with the Polybrute since it will be the center of my synth sounddesign compartment, only accompanied by the sub37.

[@CaidicusProductions]

I also own a Polybrute and am very happy with it.

[@modulationmusiclibrary]

Same here. The UDO sounds amazing! The PolyB sounds great - I went with the PolyB, and I will never sell it! I needed those vintage (70's) sounds and the PolyB nails it, I can get into Memorymoog and Arp Odyssey territory! The UDO leans more 80s vintage, maybe one day I will need one!

[@gkokkugeeza]

Would you say my friend that the difference between those 2 justifies my decison to get them both?

[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

The Polybrute is a Monster.

[@geephlips]

I’ve had the Polybrute for several months and for some reason hadn’t realized LFO 3 could function as a time-variable 4th envelope. And that’s a great example of how much functionality and versatility is packed onto the front panel. It was already incredibly deep and now LFO 3 is this new playground to explore. It’s a little hard to explain how damn great this synth is. And if I may be so bold, I can’t think of any reason why it isn’t already better than any “classic” poly. Maybe you want to chase that sound of the late 70’s/early 80s, but that sound, sorry, IMO, wasn’t that great to begin with. It was the sound of music I generally hated back then - mushy brass fed by cocaine, mullets and parachute pants. The Polybrute, on the other hand, sounds more true vintage to me. The Ondes Martinot, the Hammond organ, the Clavinet, the Mellotron, and the Fender Rhodes seem more part of the Polybrute’s DNA than Jump or Africa. And it even evokes folk and ethnic instruments, which I would not have thought possible from an analog poly synth before I got the Polybrute.

[@StarskyCarr]

There's tonnes in the Polybrute. Its hugely flexible ... and considering its an all analog signal path that's quite something.

@@kierenmoore3236 Yeah, I actually ended up keeping a Trident, Polymoog 203a, etc. Moog One plus Polymoog 203a might be the best combo ever.

[@jarkmodels]

Tons of bells and whistles with the Arturia...Feauture packed...they put everything they could and it tells in that convoluted panel...I know looks are subjective but to me it's such an ugly looking beast...

The PB has a lot of knobs, buttons, sliders, but it isn‘t convoluted at all. You can always see what you are/were doing. The mod matrix alone is so much better than the UDO‘s one.

i have watched a lot of videos of the super 6 and i haven't heard anything super about it. its nice but nothing special.

Watch the synth demo at schneidersladen, that really blew me away but each to their own.

Wholeheartedly disagree

[@kierenmoore3236]

PB >> S6 S6 costs more than the Polybrute … that is RIDICULOUS !! UDO synths are so overhyped and overpriced !!
