Description

The UDO Audio Super 6 ST49 polyphonic analog synthesizer combines cutting-edge digital oscillators and classic analog circuits in a 49-key package designed for expressive control. Featuring polyphonic aftertouch, the ST49 keybed lets you shape each note individually for nuanced performances. The 12-voice engine operates in true stereo binaural mode, creating six "super voices" for a spacious, dynamic soundstage. Fast front-panel access, sturdy build quality and USB/MIDI connectivity make this synth an efficient choice for musicians focused on detail and hands-on workflow. Its intuitive layout and powerful sound engines support creative sessions, from studio production to live sets.

Binaural Analog Signal Path Delivers Expansive Stereo Imaging

The synth splits its twelve voices into pairs, forming six stereo "super voices" for advanced spatial effects. Each channel—left and right—can be detuned, phased and filtered independently, allowing detailed control over stereo width and movement. This architecture creates a sense of depth and space, helping sounds feel more alive and present in a mix.

Polyphonic Aftertouch Keybed Enables Individual Note Expression

The ST49 features a semi-weighted Fatar keybed with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. Each note responds separately to pressure, so users can bring out vibrato, filter sweeps or pitch bends one key at a time. This design supports expressive playing styles, letting complex passages and subtle textures stand out during performance.

Front-Panel Modulation Matrix Enhances Workflow and Setup

All modulation is handled on the front panel, with every control available for assignment—no hidden menus. LEDs show which parameters are active, making real-time edits clear and simple. The modulation matrix supports fast sound design, and USB/MIDI connections allow for patch management and integration with other gear. Sync features keep arpeggiators and sequencers in time with external devices.

Durable Build Maintains Consistent Performance

The chassis uses strong metal and high-quality hardware for reliability in demanding environments. Keys, sliders and knobs withstand frequent use, and USB updates are straightforward for maintaining patches and firmware. This construction helps the synth deliver stable operation during regular touring, gigging, or studio work.

UDO Audio Super 6 ST49 Synthesizer Supports Creative Output

Musicians and producers who prioritize expressive play and detailed stereo sound will find this synth enhances both live and studio work. The combination of aftertouch, modulation access and binaural architecture helps users develop evolving textures and dynamic arrangements. With straightforward controls and robust engineering, the ST49 supports focused creative sessions and reliable performance every time.
