Description

The UDO Audio Super 6 desktop polyphonic analog synthesizer delivers 12-voice binaural sound and advanced FPGA oscillator technology in a compact desktop format. Designed for hands-on programming and direct interaction, this analog-hybrid unit combines digital hardware with a true analog signal path to produce immersive stereo textures and punchy, evolving tones. The durable chassis, VESA mount compatibility and adjustable flip-up feet allow easy integration into any studio or live rig. Responsive controls and a menu-free interface let users store and recall up to 128 patches, making sound design and performance editing both fast and intuitive. This desktop synth suits musicians seeking organic stereo movement and deep analog character for modern setups and creative sound-building.

Binaural Analog Signal Path Creates 3D Stereo Effects

The synthesizer’s binaural mode pairs its 12 voices into six stereo "super" voices, each with independent left and right channels. Detuning and de-phasing between channels allow for wide, three-dimensional sounds. Amplitude, filter and oscillator parameters are separately adjustable for each ear, providing dynamic stereo imaging that evolves in real time. This design enables precise control over spatial audio, making patches sound immersive and lively.

FPGA Digital Oscillators Support Rich, Alias-Free Sound

Using ultra-precise FPGA oscillators sampled at 50MHz, this synth produces clean, artifact-free tones. Oscillator one features a seven-core super-wave structure, while oscillator two supports FM, sync, sub and crossfade modes. Players can select classic wave shapes or load custom wavetables. LFO and envelope modulation across both oscillators enable deep shaping, from tight bass lines to shimmering pads and complex FM textures.

Direct Controls and Flexible Modulation Matrix Enhance Workflow

All major functions are accessible from a clear, menu-free front panel. The modulation matrix allows every control to be mapped and adjusted with visible LEDs showing modulation depth. Multi-function LFOs and envelopes provide detailed control over pitch, filter and amplitude. Sequencer and arpeggiator features are MIDI-syncable, and stereo audio input lets users process external sources with onboard envelopes and LFOs. This straightforward layout streamlines programming and live adjustments.

Durable Construction Suits Everyday Studio and Stage Use

The durable enclosure and reinforced controls withstand constant adjustment and transport. VESA mount compliance and optional rack ears fit the synth into studio racks or desktop setups. Flip-up feet allow quick angle changes for comfortable access. Every knob and button is engineered for repeat use, supporting years of performance and sound design without wear.

Super 6 Desktop Synthesizer Supports Creative Sound Design

Sound designers and electronic musicians benefit from the unit’s binaural stereo engine and direct control layout. The combination of analog warmth, digital precision and hands-on modulation encourages experimentation and fast patch development. With rugged build quality and immediate parameter access, the Super 6 desktop synthesizer helps users produce complex, spatially rich sounds that stand out in any mix or performance.
