Artists Meet the UDO Super Gemini - 02: Gaz Williams 

Definitely the “new” and “improved” CS80!!! And I own a real CS80.

The synth to take with you on a magic carpet ride

In an ideal fantasy version of my life, I have this at the centre of my own studio, floor to ceiling windows looking out over birch forest somewhere warm in the summer, snowy in the winter. And I know how to play it 😌 Gorgeous instrument.

So so good, it’s a machine to get lost in and while away the cold West Country evenings ❤

Gaz and a Super Gemini, what could be better

Gaz actually gave me an idea which could be added to this instrument. (and to the Super 6) A menu setting to switch between jump to parameter, catch on parameter & scaled to parameter. (First one is the standard mode which is now already used, second parameter is catch on parameter and the third is a scaled movement based on internal setting and hardware setting) Maybe also saved as a unique parameter with each patch? This could also help the concept to do very fine adjustments to patches for cross modulation, high frequency tracking LFO frequency modulation and more. For when you select the scaled parameter setting on a patch you could do more subtle adjustments to for example the cross modulation parameter. Example: You choose this scaled parameter setting, save the patch, switch to a different patch. (in this example you want to subtly raise the cross modulation slider) On my saved patch it is set to 5. Then I switch to a different patch and put the slider at 0. I switch back to the patch I would like to adjust and raise the cross modulation slider. As scaled settings are selected. It will use a different curve to catch up with the slider its setting. (if you want to go wild you could add different curve settings somewhere in the menu) So in this case you start at 0 with your slider, but your actual internal setting is 5. So when you push the slider towards 10, you have double the range for the same distance. (0-10 on the hardware slider parameter equals the 5-10 parameter internally, (INT=EXT) => 5=0, 6=2, 7=4, 8=6, 9=8, 10=10) This gives us more subtle fine-tuning possibilities which we sometimes want. A suggestion regarding keycombination would be: SHIFT + Chorus 1 = Jump to setting (standard) SHIFT + Chorus 2 = Catch on setting (twist to "catch" on) SHIFT + Chorus 1&2 = Scaled changes based on current setting of patch parameters & current hardware parameters When you press shift you will see the Chorus knobs start blinking to show which type of parameter setting is selected. (Chorus 1 blinking is type 1, Chorus 2 blinking is type 2, Both blinking is type 3) With the Super Gemini you select one layer and press shift and you see the setting of that one layer, if you select the second layer and press shift you see the setting of the second layer. If you choose both layers it will only show the setting if both layers have the same setting. Though you can select a setting for both layers at the same time this way. Cheers!

I just got mine yesterday! I've unpacked, set up, and am ready to play, and I'm intimidated just by the pure look of the thing. It’s like having a brand new Jupiter eight, and I’m afraid of it. I already have the Super Six, so I’m a bit familiar with its architecture, but it’s such a thing of beauty and massive sound that I'm just a little nervous about even touching it, strangely😮

The most lust-worthy synth currently on the market, in my eyes. I would have one in a second, had I the monies.

simply wonderful bit of engineering and sound

Sounds and looks amazing, well done.

Already my dream synth but that was really cool. The super Gemini is going to have a lot of stalkers.

So special✨🌊💛🌊✨

Did u get to take one home Gaz ?? Hope so. Lovely sounding synth as the UDO Super 6 too.

Time to sell everything for this.

Love Gaz!

This synth even makes me sound good😂

This is all very compelling. I’m picking up my Super 6 tomorrow and then looking forward to a deep dive into sound design with it. Also, I just realised how much George looks like a young Arvo Part. Can someone send Arvo Part a Gemini and see what he makes with it? :)

❤❤❤

The best of British ....

At around 18 mins I feel like I'm a Replicant in 2019 Los Angeles...absolutely beautiful synth. Too bad I don't have the $$ OR the space for this beast...😞

At this point i dont have a synth i just watch synth videos and pretend

When a player makes an instrument not a faceless company

I'd have some fun with one of these. Especially that binaural spread, and polyphonic aftertouch, and the intuitive controls. I suspect they could've fit parallel sets of the longer sliders from the Super 6 keyboard, instead of the short sliders they actually used, same as on the much smaller S6 module, where they make more sense. And I agree that 6 dual binaural voices would've been better than 5. But despite all those fine whines, it seems like an incredibly fun and inspiring synth to play.

is there smooth transition when you select a different preset?....will selecting another preset cut off abruptly the previous sound?

Love Gaz but when George asked him what kind of sounds he would like to get out of that and Gaz says electric piano sounds. I’m like oh my God this is a full-blown killer synthesizer and you want to hear electric piano sounds……..WTF ! To each his own I guess .

Awesome! Just the No Audio Input is a little bit downer ( Downgrade: why? ) But there has to be room for a Super Extra Über Gemini MK2...; )

I am puzzled since it is exact same engine as smaller unit but just both layers exposed wirh direct controls? Is that the concept?

Now put it in a 1u 19” rack like the Yamaha FS1R plz

All of the excitement and I haven't heard one good sound come out of this synth. The Super 6 sounds good, but these Germini demos haven't shown what all of this apparent "power" yields in terms of sound.

Love how this sounds, but like the MOOG ONE, I can’t justify paying that much for my hobby. If I was a Professional musician , making a living off of music then hell yeah,

And to be transparent, I've never got a handle on sending and breaking up voices to send elsewhere. But send them where and to what? I suppose I need some education 🤷

3rd wave and polybrute kill this thing 😅

Hydrasynth Deluxe and Summit are very similar to this but with tons more effects. I wonder if they will add some effects down the line.

dirty beards men... no reverb on the machine it seems but sound is large and clean

Gaz is not an artist, he is just a youtube freak
