This Synth is a modern mixture of Yamaha CS80 and Roland Jupiter8. Sounds great!!

arhitecturally i agree. super6, or one layer of gemini, is pretty much lifted from the Jup6/8. with addition of modern extras like matrix mod, fx and digital waves on the first oscillator. concept doubling this into two layers, each with its row of controls, plus ribbon and poly after touch, comes from CS80. however, built-wise and sound-wise UDO synths have nothing to do with CS80, or Jupiter 8. if i had to compare them to something, i'd rather say UDO character floats btwn the mid80s dco synths like Juno 106 and hybrids like Prophet VS or Kawai K3 from the same era. but all that with somewhat cleaner, modern/hifi presentation instead of actual vintage tone.

@@clusterchord1two further comments: the envelopes are Rolandy, the filter is a little bit too. and you actually can get some very vintage sounding saw or pwm pads out of this thing. the super mode on dds2 applied subtly does this and it sounds massive.

Thank you for posting this and showing how the synth really is I feel like everyone has only shown one amazing pad or just ambient stuff. This really gives you an idea of if it’s for you or not or what it’s capable of which I truly appreciate. Thank you so much. What are your initial thoughts?

Glad you like the video! My initial thoughts after a couple of days with the super gemini: beautiful filter, perfect keybed, polyphonic aftertouch and touchbar are very expressive, very clean and precise oscillators, very intuitive user interface, great loopable envelopes, similar to jupiter 8 like crossmod, great stereo/binaural sounds. It reminds me to the prophet VS combined with an analog version of a jd-800, in a way :) But: i have the feeling it is way easier to get fat, saturated sounds out of a prophet 5 or oberheim obx8/a. The Super Gemini is stronger in complex modulated high resolution hybrid sounds, imo.

I updated the firmware twice, actually. It’s a simple process, just keep the patch button pressed while turning on the super Gemini. Then you’re able to mount it as USB drive on your computer and copy the new firmware. Eject the drive and power cycle the super Gemini.

Yeah super easy to do, it’s a class compliant synth so no drivers are required. I’ve also got the hydrasynth desktop, so really looking forward to using the ribbon and poly aftertouch with it. Do you know if the Super 6 patch banks are compatible with the Gemini?

I thought that, I sold the desktop S6 to get this and I felt that that was rock solid in terms of build, the toggle switches and sliders don't feel as high quality on the SG. Might be completely wrong on this though. Main thing however, it sounds amazing and very pleased with it.

There are not too many bass patches in the presets, however i find the bass frequencies coming out of the super gemini are somehow detailed and clean, maybe you have to give them a little boost, but i think the bass sounds amazing, especially below 100hz

!! STOP please remove the 1st 9 seconds of audio. You have recorded the A/C turn-on power surges, as well, other start up power cycle of the UDO device. This is potentially destructive to our audio playback devices, and you should never power-up ANY devices in this manner. Why would you include this on your demo.
@zerb

@@philmagnotta5553, thanks for your comment! But don‘t worry, the digitally recorded power surge is absolutely harmless to your devices. Its the raw analog voltage power of of a power cycle coming directly out of the exact device which can have potentially a way higher current or power than analog line level. This happens, when a device is faulty, like a very old or broken synth. The reason why i recorded it? Well, this was part of the „concept“ of the video, it was the very first time i switched it on.

@@zerb You misunderstood. Digital anomaly versus analog is not at question because sometimes a digital occurrence, when connected to audio production chain, as well, an analog (includes power cycling) connected to audio system+ amplifier+speakers are always potentially destructive . Your system as well a potentially large number of viewers who may have the system gained up, can have amp or speaker damage. This is a matter of audio engineering fact, and is always mentioned in operations manuals for audio devices. It would be best to remove the aforementioned 9 seconds. Also, it makes for a better viewer experience. BTW, although I haven't read the UDO manual, UDO, like most manufacturers have warned against the type of turn-on procedure as exhibited on this video. Nothing further needs to be said.
