The Super 8 is a 16-voice polyphonic, bitimbral analog-hybrid performance synthesizer.
Introducing the next evolution in the Super series. At the core of the Super 8 is two independent binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer signal chains using UDO’s proprietary and proven synthesizer technology. With up to 16 voices of polyphony and two unique timbres each with their own independent effect chain, this instrument is analog reimagined. Like its larger sibling the Super Gemini, voices and timbral layers can be split, dualled, sequenced all at the touch of a single control.
Powered by complex FPGA digital oscillators, the Super 8 is decorated with expansive tonal features such as wave morphing, cross & ring modulation, bi-directional sync and an all-analog signal path to the output, inspired by the analog poysynth heavyweights of lore. Equipped with a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, left hand performance controls and 256 performance and patch slots, 32 interchangeable waveforms and 16 sequences, the Super 8 balances power, playability and performance.
Sitting in between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini in size and power, the Super 8 puts the player first using high quality tactile control elements with our user-centric intuitive design philosophy that inspires exploration and sonic play. Adopting a similar true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors like the Gemini, and yet retaining the portability and road-friendly personality of the Super 6. The Super 8 will be a long time friend and partner in your adventures in sound.
DDS 1 (OSCILLATOR 1):
- FPGA-based super waveform oscillator core featuring a centroid oscillator and six ‘sister’ oscillators using sampled waveforms that can be dynamically de-phased in the stereo field to produce wide and thick single-oscillator sounds in one of two ‘super modes’
- Waveshapes: sine, sawtooth, square, triangle, noise and up to 32 Alternative Complex Waveforms that can be user updated
- WAVE MORPHING BETWEEN ADJACENT WAVES
DDS 2 (OSCILLATOR 2):
- FPGA-based oscillator core running at a very high sample rate with an algorithmic core
- Waveshapes: sine, sawtooth, square, triangle, variable noise (pink, white, blue), pulse with variable pulse width
- Can be hard-synced to DDS 1
- LFO mode
- Ring modulation mode
- Square wave and Sine wave sub-oscillator modes
MIXER:
- Controls the balance between the audio signals from DDS 1 and DDS 2 or DDS 1 and the sub oscillator
- In shift mode, this parameter becomes a pan control, allowing you to position a layer within the stereo field
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED FILTER:
