UDO Audio Super 6 ST49 12-Voice Polyphonic Analog/Hybrid Synthesizer - White

A maxed-out version of the classic Super 6 synthesizer, the UDO Audio Super 6 ST49 comes with the semi-weighted ST49 polyphonic aftertouch keyboard pre-installed. Polyphonic aftertouch gifts the player with the ability to apply different aftertouch pressures on individual notes as opposed to a single value for all held notes, adding a new expressive dimension to the playing experience. The Super 6 is a 12-voice polyphonic, binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer. A harmonious marriage of state of the art FPGA digital hardware oscillators and voltage controlled analog tech. It is flexible, powerful and refined with a gorgeous analog tone. Rich and evolving textures are easily teased from the unique super-wavetable core and can be shaped and manipulated with the binaural analog signal path and flexible modulation.

BINAURAL ANALOG SIGNAL PATH

In Binaural mode, the Super 6 features a true stereo signal path in which the instrument’s twelve voices are twinned to form six stereo ‘super’ voices. Consequently, the left and right channels — and each of the player’s ears — are assigned their own complete synthesizer voice. Parameters for both channels of each super voice may be independently controlled, facilitating the player to create rich and unique stereo images. The effect ranges from subtle to extreme stereo movement, creating an enhanced sense of spatial positioning relative to “conventional” monaural signal-chains panned at their output.

MASSIVE MODULATION WITHOUT MENUS

Enormous flexibility at the player's fingertips through simple controls and a carefully designed front-panel. Going deeper, there is an intuitive and immediate modulation system based around the performance area switches. For those who want to go further, every panel control can be targeted for modulation, all simultaneously and all with unique amounts.

THE BIRTH OF SUPER, PAYING HOMAGE TO THE CLASSICS

The Super 6 is an instrument that is borne of a long-held passion for synthesizers. In designing the Super 6, UDO wanted to create an instrument that feels familiar at first glance, but offers new and inspiring opportunities when delving deeper. The layout and aesthetic is an homage to some of the classic synthesizers that have inspired us for many years — the instrument's features and capabilities bring these ideas firmly into the 21st century.

FPGA DIGITAL OSCILLATORS

The Super Series instruments leverage the power of ultra-precision FPGA digital oscillators for a direct and alias-free sound source. This cutting-edge technology combined with an archetypal analog signal path to the outputs provides a rich and flexible sound canvas that can be sculpted for warm basses, expansive pads, and sparkling leads.
