UDO SUPER GEMINI

[@obsoletecd-rom]

Please don’t change anything about the aesthetics. It’s beautiful.

[@klstay]

To me this is they item of the whole show. The interface for both layers is fantastic. 20 vs. 12 voices, an extra octave, Poly AT, a few extra tricks - easily worth $1k more.

[@MrQmason]

Shhhhhh....we don't want the creators of the synth to raise the price :)

[@jeremyg2245]

Sheesh, George and Cuckoo sold me on this more than any of the superbooth press. This was amazing!

[@dankeplace]

It's an amazing sounding synth, fact you can change both layers without having to switch is great too, it allows real time sculpting of your sonic palette. George is an amazing individual too. Can't wait for more info. Thx for the upload.

[@TheMachinesWon]

This is the most exciting synth since the hydra imo. Really excited for more demos of the Gemini

[@Screaming-Trees]

It looks cool for sure. If that's a 5 octave Fatar semi weighted keybed as well then this also adds a lot of value I think. I like the Roland inspired interface too. I don't know if I care that much about binaural as a concept but it sounds good. I do like the fact that it has a HPF and a LPF. That should give it a lot of range. Kind of like what the Elka Synthex can do with its multimode filter should be in range here. Combine that with their oscillator section which can produce more complex waveforms I assume (I'm not that familiar with the Super 6)? All that said I might still give it a miss. Not for reasons that have anything to do with the synth itself. I have a lot of synths already and a few in the queue as well. I also have a couple of hybrids in my collection too so this isn't a priority area for me. I'm mostly focusing on analogue this year. But congrats to UDO. This looks really nice.

[@HugoDaSilva7]

yea, thinking the same thing

[@paulmapp8306]

interesting take. I think the 3rd wave is more exciting than either lol, though I like this too - not taken on the HS after owning one for a while though, I replaced that with an iridium keyboard.

[@paulmapp8306]

@@Screaming-Trees kind of my thinking. Im considering the places of both my iridium keyboard and my polybrute (I dont like the keybed on that). I have a prophet6 and OB6 for pure analogue. The Iridium is still here in stead of a 3rd wave due to the Poly Aftertouch keybed. In not usr how I feel about the Polybrute really. ITs noice, but?? SERIOUSLY considering grabbing this to replace the Iridiums Poly AT bed, and then selling the PB too for the 3rd wave to replace the wavetable stuff (Ive found Im not using the sampling/granular or FM liek I though I would - so its he keybed and wavetables on the iridium that's keeping it with me). thatw ould give me the OB6/P6 and a Pro3 for analogue, the Super Gemini and 3rd wave for hybrids (I have Peak too - but that will go longer term once the live project I use it with ends), then a Fantom and a Virus for VA (different flavours, the virus covering being 90/2000s and the fantom covering the Roland 80s sounds more)

[@StarskyCarr]

For another of Cuckoo's performances check out his channel where he returned the new morning to have another play: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWpYZmFiaappas

[@aqueous5099]

It has soul. I can see the decades long legacy of these beauties.

[@buzzfunk]

I think Vangelis would have loved this synth. Also from the looks!

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Pete Namlook as well.

[@vincentmccormack3629]

The Super Gemini is one sweet looking beast, as is the blue Super 6 desktop.

[@payt01]

I'd be surprised if this didn't turn out to be one of those instant classic synths that everyone wantsand ends up getting. It looks the part and sounds awesome as well :)

[@Dudderlyful]

Every little tweak just sounds magical, what a beautiful demonstration of how wonderful that can sound. Lovely playing and collaboration!

[@somedood6621]

Looks stunning, can’t wait to hear more demos

[@jmawa8616]

so nice that they had a little house away from all the noise

[@hoagy_ytfc]

Amazing synth, and what a lovely jam, thank you.

[@OswaldoVonSchnoobenstein]

Very impressive. Giving my Hyrda a run for the money there. I can picture this on my albums. Welp, another synth on the wishlist along with the 3rd wave and Novation Summit. I have a Montage, Hyrdasynth and Deepmind 12, and they compliment each other greatly. I would like to add even more sonic capabilities to my music and this one is on the shortlist.

[@ryanhursh6322]

Fucking hell… absolutely beautiful both visually and sonically. The way Cuckoo plays when he just jams is him at his best imo. The music he writes is not for me, but when he just plays it’s always very magical and he did an excellent job of demoing this synth whereas like the dood says, he’d make more obvious sounds… which would have likely tuned me off of the synth.

[@touchcircle22]

wicked...so glad you got to do this synth.... I Love this new synth....

[@ApexCypher_]

This is definitely on the “want” list 😀

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

Sounds so good. Definitely on my buy list!

[@Connor_Sherlock]

my obsession with the CS-80 predates me getting into hardware synthesizers, and this looks like it will finally scratch the impossible itch to have one, even if it will be a LONG time before i can afford this thing. the hydrasynth always sounded anemic to me despite the poly aftertouch.

[@RayyMusik]

Time to say good-bye to my faithful Prophet Rev 2.

[@tomphillpotts]

Yeah I would trade in my rev2 and prologue and Deepmind 12 for this

[@xray2785]

Great, I’ll have it!

[@nagchumpalot]

I hope your a player because you'll miss the screen.. Super Six is kinda messy to program and save sounds from my experience but sure the Gemini looks cool.

[@0e0]

well this thing looks absolutely crazy

[@Charlottesville798]

Great collaboration !!!

[@HobbertSharp]

I could listen to hours of Cuckoo's improv on that xD

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

I'm not a super 6 lover,so this synth......But always happy when there is a new synth.

[@azlanrazif]

I hope the desktop will follow.

[@actonspur5231]

The format looks too big to translate to a desktop version (unlike the S6 which has a smaller control surface)..

[@benzmobil]

This is a spaceship control experience synth. Looks like it can take you off to a very far galaxies.

[@entropybentwhistle]

I don’t know how many patch slots it has, but if people fiddling about with the knobs find happy accidents during their exploration, George should hit the save button and half his preset programming will be done well before ship date.

[@final_mile_music9713]

Just got mine. It’s stunning.

[@bigmanlizard7326]

one of the best synths ive ever heard seriosuly

[@TheOrganist007]

from 02:00 on it sounds like early Floyd farfisas

[@simonwatson5299]

Honestly, somebody lend me 4k!!

[@xpb1363]

The first part sounded like a pastoral version of Betrayed in the Octagon oneohtrix point never kind of vibe. Brilliant stuff.

[@LocaliLLocano]

So can I poly chain this to my super 6 desktop ?

[@hazelmillsmusic]

2 legends 💛 Sounds magical x

[@spazkong]

Absolutely wonderful and what better people to demonstrate. I'm wondering if there's a optional high quality UDO branded flight case as a purchasing option? If not, no worries, I'll get one built. I just feel this instrument needs some extra care whislt moving. Inevitably getting one of these as, it would be crazy not to

[@TheOrganist007]

cuckoo is a very talented person, born as a millenium, but he has the spirit of the 70ies very nice !!!!

[@krystiankrewniak]

Gotta start saving money for this one...sounds brilliant

[@pcuimac]

Creamy interface for a créme de la créme synth.

[@PCoyte]

What a synth! Only thing that worried me about it was that the HPF looked like it wasn't resonant

[@godot5082]

Modern jupiter?

[@TheOrganist007]

same engine as the udo 6 ? but with polyphonic aftertouch and more controllers and more voices for layers

[@RajJaiRaj]

Looks like Hartmann Neuron

[@im2geek4you]

With special guest Liam Killen in the background 😀

[@StarskyCarr]

How did you get that? 😀

[@davidbanner9001]

It's glorious!

[@jjrusy7438]

This synth is great.

[@MPHORROCKS]

The sound reminds me of RSF Polykobol at times, but with wavefolding! Lol! ;)

[@HugoDaSilva7]

This is so beautifull .. dam

[@Berus7777]

It's SO powerful and great, it couldn't even benefit from a nice 4.5" OLED screen. Nope. It definitely doesn't need that. No indeed. No benefit to be had. A nice 4.5" OLED display would completely take you out of the creation process and force you to menu-dive. Because, as we all know, if you take a synth that is NOT menu-divey, and add a nice 4.5" OLED display screen to it, and have the screen do little else other than show you routings, levels, or give other convenient, relevant information to help with things like firmware updates and routings, while NOT being required to perform sound design or adjustment functions, the mere existence of that nice 4.5" OLED display will automatically make the synth menu-divey and destroy your beautiful knob per function E X P E R I E N C E... now... today... in 2023... when a nice 4.5" OLED display on a massively powerful and complex synth is guaranteed to be a bad thing. 🙈🙉🙊

[@MadelnMachines]

Seems inspired by the CS80 layout

[@jean-louispech4921]

very strange, i don't know why, but along the last musical part, the sound remember me something from a demo of the rare Poly Kobold working, something soft, elegant , sweet, while it is not the same sound.

[@user82938]

The homie Liam in the background.

[@StarskyCarr]

Well spotted

[@temporoboto]

cool💙

[@jamesstevens2362]

Created in the image of a synth god - Yamaha CS80!

[@saysthetedd]

Everything is perfect. Except for the orange knobs/sliders. From a UI perspective, to me, this indicates priority and signifies more importance than the top row. Really think a more neutral color would have been more sensible, not to mention more aesthetic. Of course these are just my opinions and I have never been responsible for creating a beautiful instrument. A nice muted gold would have been *chef's kiss*. Oh well, it sounds incredible

[@FakeGlasses]

It's nearly perfect. Just add a sequential style screen with dot and voila, best synth since the 1980's.

[@StarskyCarr]

You'll never see a screen on an UDO. Its part of their approach to interfacing with the machine rather than a screen,

[@Tvaroh]

Would love they also worked on the current firmware which desires some attention.

[@hinhonline]

UDO have announced new firmware for Super6 will be coming very soon.

[@Tvaroh]

@@hinhonline fingers crossed, good to know! :)

[@Tvaroh]

@ghost mall frankly it shouldn't be an obstacle, this is the best synth on Earth still. :)

[@TheOrganist007]

heavy G.A.S. attack😮

[@midnightsocean2689]

god almighty, that is one s3xy sounding synth. It almost hurts to watch this. It's so good! UDO is basically the new 1980s roland plus more IMO.

[@final_mile_music9713]

I sold my Prophet 10 for one of these. Yes. Really.

[@lucid484]

I was in awe when I saw this, but then reading how the Super 6 has loads of hidden shift functions. Will this be a nightmare to program with no display and two layers of shit functions...

[@fortheloveofnoise]

​@ghost mall visual feedback is distracting, ide never buy a car with a screen so I prefer a synth the same

[@krazywabbit]

Never thought I'd see soft porn in the synth world. Well done Mr. Cuckoo.

[@TheOrganist007]

sounds a little bit like rick wright R.I.P.

[@ingolf7411]

Great synth, great presentation ... but low budget.

[@StarskyCarr]

haha… my bank balance doesn’t think so… It cost a fair bit to get to Berlin! the iPhone was about £1k, Tasman recorder £200, mic £250. And then there was lunch plus drinks!!! 😂 🍻 prob £3k for 7 minutes. Oh … and the editing software and laptop plus sundries Aargh… I’m scaring myself now 💰💰💰good job I got 2 photogenic and charismatic characters on camera rather than me!

[@skyhawk77]

No motorised knobs and faders, no visual feedback, no display with patches, and it costs 4K. Yes, it's a nice design and creates nice sounds, but when it comes to usability, you are pretty much left in the dark which is a real kicker I think.

[@tbgtbg6311]

You need to sculpt music with your ears, not your eyes.

[@skyhawk77]

@@tbgtbg6311 That's completely beside the point, you can't tune a guitar, if the knobs are broken, it impacts the usability of it which is the same as having no display in principal.

[@tbgtbg6311]

@@skyhawk77 Dude it has knobs and sliders that are adjustable with both ears and eyes. Nobody needs to see parameters of 0-100. Luckily you don't have to buy it.

[@tomheylen]

Fuck me this is interesting.

[@sK3LeTvM1]

This synth almost sounds as good as the Novation Summit, but it is 2x the price. Well done. Not with me.

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

Ugly and sounds as a vst. Their JP6 like was way better

[@mezz3036]

It's too expensive....It's not 2 Super 6's but it costs as much
