@@Ben_______x sure… well the others in my studio right now… OBX8, Prophet 5, Super 6… and then others that have come through over the last 7 years or so… P6, Ob6, Prophet X, Moog One… The Super 6 was my favourite, both in terms of sound, features and interface. The Gemini takes it to another level entirely, and the added expressive control / keybed etc sends it over the top. It’s special.
That first jam was beautiful mate. Just lovely. Really showed off how much expression this thing has too. This is subjective but I think it looks stunning as well. Ffs, I’m beginning to run out of space in my imaginary synth studio and there’s nothing I’m willing to pretend sell.
Even though our poor world is in a mess we can say one thing. We are living in the most incredible time for synthesis. We are so so lucky! People that complain are... complainers, not musicians!
I've got a Hydrasynth as well, although only got it 9 days ago. It's not surprising, this beauty is real hardware components, the Hydras are code on chips... The Hydra series are one of the best "vst in a box" type synths. This is the real deal mostly. I.E: mostly discrete analogue components, bar the, what does he call them? "direct drive" oscillators? But even the oscs are fpga based, not simple dsp code on phone chips...
4500 vs a 1000 synth ? Unless you are full pro and rich, no justification for the price tag. 100 gear through effects can sound amazing too in the right hands.
I have a CS80. This synth by UDO is a far better, newer and improved CS80! And its filters actually have that CS80-esque sound timbre in so many ways yet so many better ways.
Can you guys recommend a piano/keyboard /synth fpr. Beginners that can also be used for. Gigs for Coverbands And also weighted keys so i can atleast get used to the more expensive actions.. Im thinking about yamaha ck88. Any recommendations?
I wish they had partnered with Strymon or someone for some effects, it would be great to save them with the presets and make life much easier. I guess you need an external multi-effect on the output.
@@BubbleFilms A very similar synth is the Novation Summit with Reverb, Chorus, Delay, Phaser, Distortion. Hydrasynth has all of these as well. So it makes sense that UDO would offer the same. But really UDO should go one step further by offering more.
Totally different voicing and they lean in different directions tech wise. Hydra leans into Waves and so has a much brighter and more digital feel to it. This is a digital synth with advanced OSC technologies to help it sound more “analog”. It’s a Pizza Vs 1:40 Hamburgers kinda question.
@@productamadeus8745 Additonally, the analog filters and overall build quality of the UDO (sliders and knobs and switches all feel very premium) separate it from the Hydrasynth.
Nice. Little word from me; perhaps you can refine the thumbnail design for videos on your channel, I think they're a bit too crowded now. Thanks for the video.
Sounds great…like every other synth on RU-vid. However, 5 thousand dollars? Come on Man! For that money, the machine should at least make you play Tarkus instantly. I’m glad the keys feel good, however 😲😜
I do not get complaining about price. Its ok for things to be expensive and for synth designers to try and make a living, in synth world you can go from free vst to Behringer to high end boutique. A flagship guitar and amp are 5000, you dont hear guitarists complain.
@@michaeltwiz8477 i agree, everyone should make more. not sure if UDO is like a big corporation. it’s probably just a few people trying to make a living making their dream instrument.
