UDO Audio Super 8 White, 6-voice Polyphonic, Bitimbral Analog-hybrid Keyboard Synthesizer

Super 8 is a 16-voice polyphonic, bitimbral analog-hybrid keyboard synthesizer inspired by the classics but built for tomorrow. The evolution and distillation of the power and playability of the Super Series instruments, Super 8 employs the same sound architecture as Super Gemini, with the same massive bitimbral power and sound of it’s bigger cousin — in a more streamlined, traditional single-layer control layout. Super 8 can also be upgraded to 20 voices using the separately available SP8+ Voice Upgrade Kit.

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 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 polysynth heavyweights of lore. Equipped with a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, left hand performance controls, 128 performance and 256 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.

Key Features

Super. Evolved.

As the next evolution in the Super family, the 16-voice Super 8 sits confidently between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini. This synth is the distillation of the UDO philosophy of the power of play — with the dual cores and playability features of it’s bigger cousin, all in a more compact and simplified presentation — it’s the best of both worlds.

Binaural Analog Signal Path

In Binaural mode, the Super 8 features a true stereo signal path in which the instrument’s 16 voices are twinned to form 8 stereo ‘super’ voices. Consequently, the left and right channels — and each of the player’s ears — are assigned their own complete synthesizer voice. Parameters for both channels of each super voice may be independently controlled, facilitating the player to create rich and unique stereo images. The effect ranges from subtle to extreme stereo movement, creating an enhanced sense of spatial positioning relative to “conventional” monaural signal-chains panned at their output.

The Power of Play

The Super 8 allows you to effortlessly transition between two independent synth layers (timbres), inspiring textural, deep and rich soundscapes at a touch. With UDO’s championed powerful, flexible and immediate hybrid sound, this synthesizer is designed to take you on countless sonic journeys.

Respected Tradition
Meets Cutting-Edge Innovation

Using the tried and tested UDO framework of state-of the-art FPGA digital architecture with archetypal voltage-controlled synthesizer technology, the Super 8 is a harmonious meeting of old and new in ideas and techniques. All contained within a no-expense-spared build with the highest quality components, Super 8 is an instrument for life.
