UDO is giving us an opportunity to witness history, as young synth fanatics and enthusiasts, we can now tell a story of a legendary synth 20 years later, @Anthony Marinelli Music, freaking legend you are.
@@alexanderednie1205 yeah Dr mix does, love him, but he does product placements and weird sell your soul to the system. While this man, this man is absolutely and completely fuck you money let me show what I care about on a mission to archive synth history.
Nice sounding synths and I love George Hearn's passion and vision - but until he finally breaks down and puts a tiny simple 2 line OLED display which shows modulation matrices and patch names, I can't enjoy a synth like this. I sold my UDO S6 as did several people I know who had them. As a sound designer working with another person you *need* to be able to come back to the synth and recall what is modulating the filter envelope, or a million other destinations, and by how much (values). And I'm not into reaching for a paper notepad to see where the patch I created last week is stored because I can't remember if it's called F7 or B2. And I didn't touch on wave importing - you're literally flying blind with a pencil and pad. There is something about George wanting it to be hands on programming like the Juno and Jupiter 6/8, but George put on wave importation and deep modulation routing. You can't keep track of those paths without a display when you've got 6-8 of them in a particular patch.
Very very nice!! Gotta have this as a software synth if they decide to make one that way!! These keyboard sounds are gonna be in Film and TV as soon as it comes out!
Totally enjoy your videos!! The SUPER BOOTH 24 are great also. After listening to several of the videos, I can see your mind working overtime on sounds for your movie scores. Or even developing a movie after your scores!!
...just missed the live stream. My opinion about the UDOs is that there's a lot more under the aesthetic hood, f. e. the FPGAs also produce digital spectra, and as far as I know, the UDOs are the only binaural HW synths to date. Don't ask me what it"s exactly. It has to do with the stereo spreading but's more sophisticated. Since you understandingly seem to like the synth, I would definitely go for the Gemini. Since, as far as I know, it does without mod matrix, you don't get bored that quickly through layering sounds & spectra. Since (like heard in the vid) the LFO can act as 6th oscillator I assume there might be tracking for LFO Rate as well Otherwise it were "just" an audio rate LFO, what I don't believe.
UDO is incredible! As an owner of Super 6 i mostly use to take on vacations, its my go to preferred synth to carry and also do some rough sketches of any tracks i get inspiration of to make. 🙌🏻🔥❤️
So glad you took a look at the Super 8. Amazing synth. Was hoping to hear you on the Super Gemini! You’d kill on that thing. Next time then. Always great to see your videos, Anthony!
Not sure how one could have missed the Super Gemini. It's possibly the greatest synth in the last 10 years. Of course the 3rd Wave is amazing too. Waldorf Quantum and Moog One are fantastic, but not really immediate, like UDO.
I hadn't checked out the Super 8 yet. I got one of the first Super 6 keyboards to hit the US back in 2020. I traded it recently for a Super 6 module, but I carried over all my sounds from the keyboard and picked up where I left off.
Anthony, would love to see you get more hands on with a UDO synth. They’ve picked up the spirit of some classic synths and put them in modern packages. I’ve got a Super 6 and it has to be the most enjoyable instrument I’ve ever sat down with. It’s so tactile and lovely sounding.
It sounds as good as the Summit, both have digital FPGA into analog filters. However the Summit has tons more effects and other features. Both are nice.
Always wondered what your reaction to these synths would have been Mr. Marinelli, thanks. I think UDO makes one of the best sounding synths on the market today.
Price vs. Super Gemini is understandable, but not great IMHO. Internal observations and/or musician feedback that Gemini is BIG was 1 part of making this. The other was many (most if being brutally honest) just load a patch then twiddle cutoff and maybe an EG a bit. How many place a high value on seeing EXACTLY what both layers are doing live? Losing 2 (4 really) voices, the ribbon and 2nd layer interface for $500 is not a choice I would ever take. However, size/weight savings for losing something you do not value much could be just the ticket for some? Were I in that boat I would more likely go Super 6 desktop instead and pair it with a polyAT controller or synth.
Anthony, you told them very clearly that that you really liked the 8 voice unit- yet they were a bit thick (playing it off?) even with the pauses you provided after your praise for the machine wherein they had ample opportunity to offer you one. 🤷🏻♂️I would've kicked you down as you're a legend and would be a top drawer user to reference!
@@caleykelly yeah it's really fun to use as well. Very immediate and the oscillator also has a single cycle waveform. So you can get a lot more tonal variety compared to standard analog oscillators
Dear Anthony, I think and hope that George was happy and proud to have you. UDO is an amazing brand since its launch. About Hardware, it's ambicious, it sounds round and bright, I just desire it for me. One day, soon... Please tell me if you enjoy it.
This company is well worth following. The Super 6 and 8 are lovely, and the Gemini multiplies the possibilities, with a bump in price. They are not cheap, but they seem well conceived and beautifully realized as playable instruments.
Nice to see new synths, Anthony do you have a Korg polysix ? It was my first, sold it yeas ago. Would like to see you play something on one. Thanks Terence
Yeah, I’ve been a big fan, really, since before their first synth was making noise.. just by hearing the passion and how they were talking about synth design
Anthony really has a gift and that trained ear for sound design. You can watch the gears in his head turning trying to figure out what is making each patch behave the way it's behaving.
de-esser , wow, that guys voice made me have to deal with t just to watch it. had to realtime de-ess him. I like how those boards look like the roland 707
Pretty skeptical about dropping this kind of money on digital. I have 3k headphones so I’m going to listen very carefully. Inspiration is obviously Roland sliders. I fully believe in digital but I have fallen in love with the idea of software/ midi/computer. Digital is great but my iPad which was 1.5k runs some pretty amazing synth programs and they will also run from my iphone also 1.5k but these synths are usually 15 bucks with the exception of pianoteq that is 150 bucks. With that being said these seem to be the coolest digital synths around.
