Super Gemini - My Favourite Synth of Superbooth 2023 

"I'd like to play it for 5 or 6 minutes" - CEO of the company grabs the camera so that you can do just that. So cool.

Ghe guy presenting is so nice and honest. Love his attitude.

This was by far the best demonstration of the Gemini's sonic character at SB23. Will definitely be picking one of these up in the autumn after watching/hearing this one Cuckoo, so cheers to that.

Someone said somewhere else: This is a true CS80 sucessor. More modern of course and way more powerful. But a true character.

"Nerd time, I love it" 😀 George is amazing. So chill & precise in his presentation, both word & sound. Great designer & artist too. Role model I'd say.

Cuckoo & George together have sold me on this synth more than any of the major press lol. I like this combo!!

this is one of the few times that when I hear a demo EVERYTHING that I hear sounds really good/awesome...really well done guys...I am SOLD

Ok. Now I understand this synth. This is BY FAR the best synth I’ve seen and heard. Unfortunately my beginner level isn’t enough for this one, but if I was rich I would definitely buy one and keep it all my life to grow up with it. Absolutely fantastic instrument. By the way Cuckoo x UDO is such a nice combination, love it

Haven't been this excited for a hardware synth in a long time, it sounds stunning! 🛸

I love it. UDO brings back the spirit of old classic synths and takes it onward. When they turned on the binaurality I had shivers, amazing stuff. It must sound even better in person.

When I had questions about updating the firmware on my Super 6, I contacted UDO. George and his small team were not only quick to respond, but went above and beyond to help me understand the architecture of the synth so that I can maintain my patches while upgrading firmware and wavetables. They were very understanding of my numerous questions and always explained everything thoroughly. I truly hope more small companies like this can thrive in today's market, because as we've all seen, it can be brutal competing against big companies. The world needs more George and UDO Audio. Love you guys!

The fact you created some amazing sounds in that short space of time shows how amazing that synth is! Think you would do wonderful things with it should you get one some day!

Excellent video exploration of the Gemini. Thanks, This one definitely worth some re-watches. George and his team created something wonderful.

Love to see enough space on the board to fit your hands on the controls. Old school style, made for humans.

Superb! Love George’s approach and ideas - sound as therapy! Thanks for this vid 🙏🏻👍💙

Really cool synth, love the look and the sound!!

George is such a nice guy. Wonderful technical insight - his passion and approach are inspiring. Incredible synth. Lovely interaction Cuckoo, with George and the synth.

This is a lifetime of playing, learning and creating. I can totally see this in my studio. Every penny worth the while spent. This was definitely an eye opener! Great vid brother! 👊🧡👍

I love the light grey off-white color. Black is so standard. :)

This synth is absolutely incredible. The concept of layers just RIPS!!

Most informative video I've seen so far - definitely a future classic!

Love the synth, but I'd love that UDO tshirt as well 😍

This synth is therapy!!!!!!!

Wow, so many great sintys. Great video! Beatifull piece of art machine, its beast on its own.

I’m a major league fan of sawtooths, but I know what you mean, and these ones really do sound thick and rich in a special way. As much as I love sawtooths though, I’m an even bigger fan of these Superbooth videos you’ve been rolling out. You’re such a genuinely kind, thoughtful, and curious person, and it’s cool to see how comfortable and at ease the people showing their products become when they’re with you

This thing is lovely. I've had the summit on my list as my first big poly; but while slowly saving - and being somewhat hesitant about the menu diving; this lovely thing comes up and may skip ahead in the list.

At times it has a CS80 sound to it ❤

Is it a Jupiter8? Is it a CS80? No, it is a Gemini. Great job, UDO 👏👏👏

Love that vid. The vibe, the sound and the awesome nerdiness!

hes created a modern times cs 80 holy fuck

great video....indeed this could be an ode to the CS-80.....it's sounds so different...just like the CS-80...not joking, in all the videos I have not heard 1 bad or boring sound. That's over RU-vid through my HS8's, can only imagine how it sounds live.

I'm at a stage in my life (both age and musically) where I ONLY want specialty, hand-crafted synths. Nothing else will make it into my studio. This new UDO is the king of specialty hand-craft. Definitely grabbing one when it's released.

My favourite sounding synth since the MEGAfm, which btw got a new firmware update the other day which added looping envelopes like what this has. Your demo starting 28:48 is amazing.

Great interview and some great questions.

Wow...a classic wonderful organic instrument...cheers

What I hear is an overwhelming quality that can break through even when recorded with a microphone and listened to on youtube!

The demo of the super 6 absolutely blew me away how fast it was morphing from beautiful tones to mind blowing sounds. Can’t wait to see what this does

25:00 - I like this concept about "take the worst opamp" :) This guy is not only the engineer but the true artist! Some years ago while DIYing I've found myself that cheap components gives the most lovely sound! It's not about precise operations like signal transmissions so you don't need super accuracy like in space ships. Also I've noticed that many Korg's top synths suffer from their "best quality components" approach. But some low end devices like NTS-1 suffer from the worst solutions (to give the affordable prices while maintaining some profit). It's weird IMHO.

Looks and sounds like a bigger brother of the Micro- and Minifreak... Very nice!

29:20 wowww super Kid A vibes really love the sound of the click and the noise!

Agree with the sawtooth thing, UDO makes sawtooth sounds so good!

As a big fan of the Super 6, I’m really glad to see this “Prophet 10” to the Super 6’s “Prophet 5”! I’m not surprised at all to hear the inspiration came from plugging a Super 6 into a desktop Super 6 and playing them together! I find it pretty funny the 6 was described as more giggable, because my first thought was I could multitrack the two parts separately at home with the 6 but the bitimbrality could be indispensable on stage x) The controls look so well thought-out, as to be expected from UDO. I hate menu diving so I love their stuff, plus supporting small local outfits rather than conglomerates feels nice. The delay send, and the way of controlling the layers in the preset and sequencer sections looks great. Poly aftertouch is great too. Plus that ribbon functionality is probably the best-designed I’ve ever seen! Though I notice it’s 20 voices rather than 24, maybe a limitation of stuffing the VCAs and VCFs in there? I’m assuming each DDS unit can still do 12, and therefore the limitation is further down the signal path. Loved the nerding out too, especially discussing the differences in harmonics between the sample based oscillator and the algorithmic one. I’ve suspected that for a long time by listening to them, but the confirmation is great. (It may be mentioned in the manual, but since there’s mo menu diving I’ve only referenced specific parts when I need to :p)

What a synth.. Good thing there's still a bit of timeto save up for this :) It looks awesomeand sounds stunning as well! Finally a synth that sounds different, it's got it's own character:)

Creamy IS the word. This is so thick and lush! Thanks for the early demo video.

Stunned, wasn't looking for another polysynth but this is beautiful. :O

One of the more interesting new synths. Together with the 3rd Wave from Groove Synthesis and the C15. Thanks for a great vid!

George is an amazing person. Cuckoo is an amazing person. UDO make amazing instruments. Love the new synth. Prefer this to another big synth released in desktop format.

The blue UDO Super 6 definitely sounds superior to the other colors :)

I ordered mine already at Kraft Music - and I do own a CS80 - I can so many of the good similarities but total modern. UDO is showing Yamaha how Yamaha loses market share. Great job UDO!

Damn, UDO synths are so awesome and so expensive!!! 😁

This synth is as cute as this guy

I would love to see a newer version that you can add your own samples and manipulate it with the knobs a trick your own samples out ,,,that would be so cool just like making your own personal synthesizer

This is a masterpiece.

Thanks! Love this synth! 😍

There amazing synths these guys make , kind of like a ppg / roland cross a bit , I think is is fair to say this is a modern cs80 of sorts no so much in character of sound but in its ability to be played live into infinity and back .The 2 layers and all the hands on control mean it can do really nice dense ' one patch ' music recordings .

was super booth held at a summer camp?

Any word about that white Super-6 back there? When is it going to be available?

Thanks for this. Man what a beautiful instrument. This is just so unbelievably inspiring. 🧠❣⚡⚡⚡🎛🎚

Brutal sounds man. Love it!

wow thanks cuckoo

hope this gets added to your studio!

Thanks for the Demo, i hope they’ll make a desktop version out of that.

I need this, I want this, i’m dreaming about this

9:59 bass demo! Thanks, George

Sounds amazing. Wish it was blue though.

If I win the lotto I’m getting one … great synth 👏

George Hearn, synth designer and philosopher - fantastic guy. I‘m afraid I‘d buy the Gemini even if it sounded crappy just because it looks so cool!

Holy baby Jesus

Oh wow I love it.

Bloody amazing does sum it up!

Have an Osmose…Now want this! 😃

I can't wait!🤠

My God! I wanna watch the whole TED talk with this guy). Why does he make me feel like he is my old friend😂😂😂 Extremely interesting. I can clearly see, he knows what he is talking about). "OMG I sound nerdy..."😂😂😂 Man, thank you)

It's confirmed If you open the video and jump to @12:57 your brain will actually catch fire, and your face will melt off, and Godzilla will destroy your city 😲🦎

It's lovely!

Such an expensive synth and no screen to navigate sounds? Why? I cant remember what i added in user bank 56

massive synth... the star on superbooth

29:38 happy accident 🧑‍🎨

Superb

wow. how much is it going to cost?

Cuckoo - how does the polyAT keyboard feel? Is it heavier than a typical Fatar synth keyboard, but not heavy like a digital piano? What other keyboard do you think is the closest comparison? I mean just the feel of playing, not the aftertouch..

super cool!!

Just for my understanding, is the Super Gemini using the short-throw faders from the Super 6 Desktop edition? The faders look shorter than the those from the Super 6 Keyboard version ... anyone know?

Do you know if they're planning on doing a non-keybed version of this synth too?

This is the poly to get!! Future classic. 🤓

Nice.

Are you getting one Re?

So cute

The sound melted butter would make if it made a sound. Agree with Cuckoo, the sawtooth sounds great.

With no led screen how are patches saved/named.

The Super 6 didn't really rattle my chain. But this is on the list for 2024. Well done UDO.

I love how he keeps worrying about sounding nerdy. There isn't a single person watching a Superbooth interview with UDO synths who's like "OMG this is way too informative! I don't want to understand every single thing about this deep subject😤🙄"🤣😂

Sounds really analog.

#NerdTime LOVE IT :D

i wud like a screen....

Wow! This thing sounds really squishy and for lack of better term, "Rolandy". :D For some reason I didn't get exactly the same feeling from the sound of the S6. Maybe just different patches, different people demoing, etc. My friend has a S6, and it sounds quite beautiful, but for some reason the Gemini is catching my ear far more. I haven't compared specs etc. yet, but this took me by surprise. Nice!! Edit: On the sawtooth thing, I find that sometimes they fatigue my ears faster than other waveforms. Especially when unfiltered.

Makes gas bills disappear? Take my monies!!

Special…

🎵🤓❤

Will cost 2million €€
