To all complaining about the price, good components cost money. Good products take time. If you want affordable and amazing, you’re not likely to get it. I saved for years before ever buying my first polysynth. It’s an investment. Your dollars go to support the people working to make these synths become a reality. So few of them are profiting at a healthy margin over these instruments. We have to stop expecting amazing stuff to come cheap. The world doesn’t work that way. We only have an illusion that it does.
Very well said. The investment in time the designers have put into this magnificent instrument is huge! They have homes and families to support like the rest of us.
For sure and they definitely put alot of time and thought into this synth.my opinion is it is priced accordingly.i hope they are able to build more synths.
I love your attitude and excitement about synths, guys. So much negativity out there these days about how you choose to demo a synth...or how the synth is made...or how many octaves a synth has...or how much a synth costs. But then there you are just having a blast playing one and all is well in the world. Keep it up.
One of the warmest digital oscillator synths I've ever heard. Looks pure fun to play too. Built like a tank no doubt. Well played UDO. Great demo lads, looking forward to the breakdown vid.
@@idreaminsurfgreen5327 same, been trying out the ob 6 for a month and returning it, getting thie super 6 instead. it's just personal tatse really. i'm a big fan of faders instead of knobs, makes it more fun, and the sound is just so thick warm. OB 6 has that metallic thing to it, which is nice, but i'm not that into it.
The Super 6 features a 24 dB filter, while the OB-6 has a 12 dB filter. That already makes quite a difference. I have an OB-6 keyboard and wouldn't sell it for anything in the world. But I like the Super 6 and I could imagine it sitting in my studio at some point; rather than a Prophet-6, which again is a different animal, but closer to the Super 6, also due to its filter.
I have an ob6 and juno 106 and was blown away by the super 6, much more so than the prophet 5 or moog one. It's all down to taste etc. For raw tone the ob6 and juno etc. Still have something but the binaural thing is really awesome, not just a gimmick. Makes me wish my other synths had it.
What I love about this thing is that you don't need a reverb... just use the release, together with the binaural panning it has a depth like the best of reverbs
This demo reminds me a good bit of the Waldorf Kyra. It’s amazing for pad sounds and more sprawling, subtle textures and seems to have a wide, spacious sound. I’d love to hear it in some more aggressive applications.
I'm sure Hearn said on the Sonic Lab demo that it does splits and layers. He mentioned in a written interview transcription that it has full mult-timbral functionality. I'm sure the access to this will be developed in time.
Hi mate, thanks for watching and for the comment too. Every patch and every second spent playing this keyboard felt completely unique compared to every other keyboard I've played. Genuinely, it just has a sound. I'm only just getting my head round some the technologies behind it after watching some of George's videos form UDO so hopefully next time I'll feel confident enough to stry away from the presets but if you're like me and you love the sound there's only one place to get it at the moment. Hope that helps, many thanks again, Jack x
@@coltkirkpatrick386 True, here's hoping because it sounds lovely and I wanna hear it in more tracks haha, I will be finding the space for mine... somewhere in my studio I don't know yet
It's a nice bit of kit, but listening to this demo (and Jack's demos are always bang on!) ... it's a very samey sounding synth, not much variation in it's tonal qualities ... I think I'd risk getting bored with it's sound over time. Other than that it does look like a cool synth with a great interface.
From my experienced ears this one is really warm and dynamic/expressive while the Iridium is more sharp/abrasive yet big and moving. Wouldn’t mind having them both
Ouch. You're right though, think the demos with George from UDO are incredible, the way he moves through seemingly infinite sound creations and so effortlessly is awe inspiring. We always try give the angle of a "Punter" walking up to it in the shop and having a go - which is what is happening here. I can vouch for how amazing it sounded in the room and how incredibly sensitive/tactile the keybed was (you can see and hear me wrestling with it on some patches) anyways. Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback Sir. Hopefully we haven't turned you off it Xx
This is a lot more unique, I'd give you that - plus a tad more boutique. I think you'll hear less recurring sounds out of this thing than the jupiter x for example.
It's been going on for years now, synths look like toys now. I remember when a Synth was a Juno 6 and a toy synth was a Wasp, nowadays they are all Wasp's. I refuse to buy too.
FFS! Why do manufacturers make short keyboards for £2,000+ synths? Make it 76 or 88, and leave room at the side for a laptop tray like the Arturia key labs. When will they start building these things for people who can manipulate a wide tonal and sonic range live? Not everybody wants a ‘rack with a few token keys’ to plug into a DAW. Some people want a synth you can perform in epic ways and the extra plastic and circuitry it would take to add the keys would cost tuppence by comparison. It’s just a rip off otherwise.
A Jekyll & Hyde synth, that causes emotions from wow to meh for me. For now, 95% of that mix is meh to me. I really want to think, £2300, wow! But I don't. Sure it's unique, sure it can sound totally nice. But dry, it can sound as pants as a white plastic Bontempi I recall seeing people in my family mess with from my 70's childhood. Yeah of course that's a bit too extreme. Most of the time, I wonder how on earth most of what it outputs can even sit in a track. I've seen music channels play it at shows, and they looked like they were tempted to just turn it off half way through, when a patch went completely out of control lol. I also have one-foot in the way too dear camp. Plus, I can't help but feel 4 octaves will be an insult to most - and from comments I see this already. Refreshing tech for sure. Like most stuff, I expect these will quickly devalue in a huge way too.
I kinda disagree, I think this is a special combo of components and features that won't be recreated anytime soon - we need to take what we hear thus far with a grain of salt since the demos are predominantly using presets. I share your concern over the mix but this video in particular is lacking the depth of a proper recording set-up. the noise floor is higher in this video than in the perfect circuit video for example, and the depth of the recording feels muted - it seems to be a crappy set-up. I think the stereo depth thing won't be as gimmicky as you may find it is in this video, yes it can do huge pads that fill up the entire spacial mix, but let's say you want a lead to pierce through a mix, what difference does this binaural tech make to a stereo chorus? It's just a different method to a similar, but overall more powerful and unique response. Also I'd like to say the oscillators may be digital but they're outputting such a clean signal, when you add the spacial effects things get this nice bit of warmth and milkiness to the sound that I think sounds great in unison.
You're right my Ol' friend Spazz! Since filming we became aware we had some Beta firmware issues and some of the controls weren't behaving as you'd expect. We only had limited time with the synth so stuck to Jamming with what presets we could muster up and settled for that. Hope to get my hands on it in the future and do a bit better job, hopefully!! I'm sure you'll let me know if I miss the mark again 😘 all the best to ya Spazz and thanks for tuning in X
Live soo sound good? No because i don't urderstand why people go mad for this synth... I ear some demo, He do nothing special, he do nothing news, the timbre and character isn't special also... Bho... He resemble me a modern jx8p...
Sounds like you guys never invested any time figuring it out. Like cats introduced to water for the first time. I could not listen to it through to the end; your playing and choice of sounds was that bad ;and I am usually a fan of yours. You are taking your audience for granted ; perhaps you are bored and think we don't notice when you are slacking.
Hey Trans, thanks for commenting. We’ve got some new videos on the Super 6 coming up where I had some time with the keyboard before filming. For this video we had about as much time with the Synth as the Length of the video so your observations were very astute. I doubt my playing will be any better sadly 😔
@@jackduxbury1632 Thanks for following up. I look forward to hearing your later experience with the Super 6. I did noticed your full effort on the Full SIze Korg MS20 . Please remain your playful self and bring back the Falcon. Cheers.
Play some snappy basslines , adjust the freq ,resonance , tweak the filter ...play with the envelopes etc... Snap..Snap ... What wrong with you guys ? All we've been hearing so far from the super 6 are these soft pads and lame ass chord progressions .it's get pretty borring after a while

Sorry, don't like it for 2 and a half grand it sounds awful. Its butt ugly and dated looking. They should have used real VCOs and added poly aftertouch. Not a winner. I live in Bristol as well, shame both of our synth manufacturers are just not getting it right. You can't have your cake and eat it by making it cheaper using FPGA "NCOs" or whatever George calls them (he tried giving them a different name) then ask a price reflective of what it should have been were it a Discrete VCO based Moog or Sequential... Its like after all this time George has simply squeezed a cut down Summit (with stereo spread, but only 6 voices instead of 16) into an old Roland case from somewhere around 1981-3. Make it Poly AT, replace the FPGA generated fake Oscs with real discrete VCOs, add some nice wood panels and a screen and come back. This is like an early prototype that shoud never have been released to the public...
Each to their own. I think it certainly has character. To me it sounds lush, looks playable and eminently programmable. The chorus effect and panning are a bit much, but I quite like the wobbly wonkyness and can see people having a level of affection for this similar to the regard held for the Juno 106. Looks like fun.
You genuinely have no clue what you're talking about - it may not be to your preference but some things are simply biased out of some odd disdain you have to it's aesthetics, which I find wonderful.
When it is about taste, it is just a personal point of view. FPGA allows high quality , and some functionalities that you can get with a real VCO , like custom waveforms. It is made for direct control, more easy interface without any screen and being lost in sub menus . There are 12 voices in total, but only 6 in the binaural mode. And the most important it has its sound, this lush sound that makes him stand out among synths with digital oscillators.
To all complaining about the price, good components cost money. Good products take time. If you want affordable and amazing, you’re not likely to get it. I saved for years before ever buying my first polysynth. It’s an investment. Your dollars go to support the people working to make these synths become a reality. So few of them are profiting at a healthy margin over these instruments. We have to stop expecting amazing stuff to come cheap. The world doesn’t work that way. We only have an illusion that it does.
Tony Anderson Amen!
As when i bought my JP- 8 40 years ago
Very well said. The investment in time the designers have put into this magnificent instrument is huge! They have homes and families to support like the rest of us.
For sure and they definitely put alot of time and thought into this synth.my opinion is it is priced accordingly.i hope they are able to build more synths.

This is the best demo of the Super6 I've seen, nice work!
Best sounding modern analog poly after the OB6.
Here I am contemplating selling my ob-6 for this. The dancing of sound in the stereo field is just incredible.
@@idreaminsurfgreen5327 same, been trying out the ob 6 for a month and returning it, getting thie super 6 instead. it's just personal tatse really. i'm a big fan of faders instead of knobs, makes it more fun, and the sound is just so thick warm.

great I'm in love with another synth i cant afford. having a home is overrated i guess.
That’s sound. This is one gorgeous looking and sounding synth, love it !
This Synth, has a very unique sound, can't wait to purchase!!
This is the exact synth I’ve been looking for .. sound is so thick and creaming but with all the modern twist... hope they make a rack version
Well you're in luck. Got announced this week

What a truly unique and beautiful machine.

It is good and will join the collective
Man the FPGAs sound amazing! What awesome innovation this machine is :D
So many textures reminiscent of Bon Iver ... :) Excellent.
That 12:02 patch?! 🤯🤪😍 Man this thing is absolutely incredible. Lovely playing by you both 🙌🏻
And 17:58?!?! I NEED THIS SYNTH IN MY LIFE.
Thanks Jon, new videos on the Super 6 are on there way my G X
@@jackduxbury1632 please tell me you did what we all know is the right thing and bought one of these? 😂 Awesome videos dude 👊🏻 X

I recommend finding George's demos (the guy from UDO). He has a knack for making it sound insane :)
I have never heard a synth like this, has some amazing ambient sounds to it! Some of them gave me stranger things vibes.
I think you could do a whole Aphex Twin album on this thing !
The sounds you guys are playing wouldn't be out of place in a synth crematorium. Note to self, when my Super 6 arrives, get job in crematorium!
Just got back from a funeral, and that is so apt. Very funny 'cause thats just what this demo sounds like 5mins in.
@@favoriteblueshirt It's all so soulful and inspiring. Can't wait.
HUGE!!!!!!!!!!
Wash your hands after playing! Not because of the virus, because it's so juicy!
Im just thinking why i bought all my bag of synths before this)
Just wish it had splits and layers but it does sound fantastic. I love the no menu interface.
I'm sure Hearn said on the Sonic Lab demo that it does splits and layers. He mentioned in a written interview transcription that it has full mult-timbral functionality. I'm sure the access to this will be developed in time.
Good Lord so warm sounding but as usual I can't afford it.
are all these sounds factory presets?
Q: is this the final version, hardware wise? I vaguely remember a video where George mentions something about choice of knobs etc..
Jack would love to hear your thoughts on this synth? Bit of a quick review? You seem to be enjoying it!

Thanks for taking the time to reply Jack! Yes I get the same vibes from it and can’t wait to get my hands on one, one day. Keep up the great videos 👍🙂
Sounds lush
If i had the money i bought it,but for now i'm happy with my Arturia V-collection7:-)
It's lovely, but I wish it had another octave, or just produce it as a console.
I mean you can just use a midi cable and put any controller you have on it
@@HiLoMusic yea just referring to table space, a console version would bring that $3000 price tag down to regular person levels lol
@@coltkirkpatrick386 True, here's hoping because it sounds lovely and I wanna hear it in more tracks haha, I will be finding the space for mine... somewhere in my studio I don't know yet
It's a nice looking keyboard but I don't have a baseball cap.
This or Ob6?
If it just had splits and layers...ugh...same with the HydraSynth :(
EverettDudgeon138 it will have split when the firmware is completed soon.
"Let's try to be hip and lay out a bunch of vinyl, but then let's be clueless and make them all 'best of' albums" ;)
5:15 ensoniq vibez
Nice filter. The noise floor is inacceptably high though. WTF? Is your soundcard broken or the synth?
Heard other demos where that wasn't as prevalent, idk what kinda setup they have lol
Does this have split functionality?
It's a nice bit of kit, but listening to this demo (and Jack's demos are always bang on!) ... it's a very samey sounding synth, not much variation in it's tonal qualities ... I think I'd risk getting bored with it's sound over time. Other than that it does look like a cool synth with a great interface.
This synth demo made my head hurt.
MALTESE FALCON!!!!
someone knows how the sound/sonic difference can be described compared to the new Waldorf Iridium?
From my experienced ears this one is really warm and dynamic/expressive while the Iridium is more sharp/abrasive yet big and moving. Wouldn’t mind having them both
Do a (sound like) on this channel but with tech gear. Busting the bank and without.
I was like
YO, this synth is frickin dope, i might pick it up, but then I looked at the price
Worth it
Is it just me or do all the presets for the first 5 minutes basically sound the same.
Would you sell your juno 106 for this?
It Connects , yes no hesitation Juno gets older, needing more maintenance, and will eventually die.
Jack my man... your impros are always album-worthy. And I'll definitely sell everything I must in order to get this porny synth.
well, i bought George's last synth (Modal 008) at 2x the price and was anything but disappointed.
Underwhelming demo right before its release. Not sure if it is the synth to blame.
Ouch. You're right though, think the demos with George from UDO are incredible, the way he moves through seemingly infinite sound creations and so effortlessly is awe inspiring.

Yeah totally agree, this demo is boring... this synth can do much better than that.
underwhelming comment
It's this or jupiter x for me... hmmm...
This is a lot more unique, I'd give you that - plus a tad more boutique. I think you'll hear less recurring sounds out of this thing than the jupiter x for example.
Am I missing something? I really don't understand why the synth world is going crazy for this synth.
True sounds bleak and uninteresting
What demo did you watch 🤣
ADSR Because it sounds great.
This synth made me die from coming too hard but at least I beat corona.
nope, death caused by the rona i saw the certificate
To be honest : it doesn't sound that special. That sounds with modulated lfo speed are not that special too.. Many synths can do this.
Another 4 octave keyboard. I refuse to buy. I'm looking for the days of 76 keys to come back. At least 61, please.
It's been going on for years now, synths look like toys now. I remember when a Synth was a Juno 6 and a toy synth was a Wasp, nowadays they are all Wasp's. I refuse to buy too.
