Superbooth 20HE: UDO Audio Remote Workshop Tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- UDO Super 6 is coming near to its release date; we were happy to hook up with designer George Hearn remotely as part of our Superbooth Home Edition coverage. As UDO are obviously still stuck back in the UK as well they were kind enough to give us a remote walkthrough or their offices and workshop.
The Super 6 is almost shipping now, so we’re excited to see them start going out into the wild. If you’re interested in getting hold of one then you can still pre order them!

This man may well be the next Bob Moog, Tom Oberheim or Dave Smith. What craftmanship and passion. I wish him all the very best, even more so in these trying times for any small business.
Was dear fellow, was :D
I'm thinking to buy one of his synths simply to support him! ;-)
Fantastic performance at the end of this piece George! Lush to hear two together as well. Very sweet!
Gert lush!
i don't even smoke, but i want to after that
Sounds like a well tempered orchestra evolving whilst modulating and planetary morphing. 2 years later and my curiosity is getting the better of me now that Gazz bought one. I guess one must pay to play cause it’s not cheap for sure. Even the desktop.
50 years of playing keyboards and this is the first time I had the opportunity to go behind the scene and see a passionate engineer in their workplace. Thank you Nick and George for this video (and all that helped behind the scene on the video :)
You haven't looked very hard then
@@Barefoot_Joe Spill the beans. What do you recommend?
And for all you guys wondering , the actual synths enclosure are engineered/ made by a german company called rueffel , who also did the virus , steinberg audio interfaces , waldorf quantum , sonic core xite one , radikal technologies accelerator etcc...
Top quality assembly
Very important info, thank you!
Nick is doing such a fantastic job all these years. He is truly a LEGEND.
"So yeah, when I was 18 I just whacked together a polysynth based on Curtis chips, but it's all discrete." Absolute madman! Wow!
Just bought one today and taking delivery of it tomorrow. As in all synths I own, I do my research and understand the history of the company and how a synth was born. This solidified my purchase. Reminds me of Dave Smith and his passion for synths. I’m in full support of UDO and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Hopefully, in a few decades, this first iteration of this synth will be a legend, and I’ll own one.
Wow! A bit over halfway through this and I'm blown away by this video. I wanted a super six prior to this but now I'm for sure going to get one. This guy's passion for his craft just comes through so genuinely, and it shows in the look and sound of his creations. Fantastic!
my god what a demo. This man can play! He made me rethink the way synths can be played.
I think this is my favourite pad sound (grey synth) I’ve ever made but I didn’t save it.. so foolish!
Very cool to see and even hear George's past efforts! The Super 6 sounds stunning, as in every demo. This demo is particularly nice, and brings to mind the opening of Oxygene. Like George said, I can't wait to see what others do with this instrument (even though George is an excellent demo player) - this just sounds like something genuinely fresh, new, and capable. The idea of oversampling at 25 MHz, pushing all digital artifacts and aliasing away and leaving a more-than-pristine signal, is just lovely, and seems to ooze through every sound the Super 6 makes, especially when pushed (and the difference is expected to be audible). I also really like the philosophy behind the binaural signal path - since hearing about it, I've been programming my own synthesizer patches in a different way (for example, panning one osc hard L and the other hard R and modulating them similarly but differently). This seems like a company full of fresh ideas and the talent and diligence required to execute them.
The FPGA approach is quite common now, it's again something you won't be seeing in VSTs, hardware wins again :)
I was feeling Jean Michel Jarre too!
@@6581punk I may have to agree with you there. I've owned a few hardware synths, but have switched to a fully ITB setup in recent years. The best emulations of classic analog synths are so good now, that I'm personally happy to just use the software. However, these new hybrid FPGA/analog synths (Super 6, Novation Summit, etc.) seem to bring something genuinely new. I don't think any VST will be able to oversample audio to tens of MHz in realtime anytime soon (although to be honest I don't know how to do a good back-of-the-envelope calculation here, so I really don't know). At any rate, the combination of the powerful FPGA, analog filter/amp, binaural design, and playability/build quality makes the Super 6 highly desirable. I've been planning to start learning to play the keyboard this year. It may just have to be this one!
Every time I hear this synth, I want it more. My love for this project is a fever pitch at this point. George is the MAN.
Never wanted to spend this sort of money on synth before but every time I hear the S6 I hear something I haven't before., It's going to be hard to resist.
It's a rare that an expensive synth comes along and sounds as good as the price tag. The Super 6 does it effortlessly.
I took the plunge
it's so worth it
Got my Super 6 yesterday. Such a lovely machine. I can't wait to really get to know that beast.
anyone else's eyes drawn by the big SOMA case behind Nick? George's synths sound cool.
Good stuff! Thanks all😁🙌
This is a great video.it really shows that george has been in the synth design game for a while and that udo may just be here for the long haul.the super 6 is worth the price and this video shows that this is a true labor of love for george.
this video tour is absolutely extraordinary!
Nick is a such a passionate guy, and super 6 is a fantastic piece of engineering.
I am in awe of those 3 synths that he only made ONE of.
Congratulations Jorge. How good the end sounds and how much passion in everything you do!This is how the synth sounds,which I will soon receive. I congratulate you and wish you all the best, Jorge.
Those one-offs are really beautiful and the component quality in the Super 6 looks great. Looking forward to having one some day.
I was lucky enough to meet George at a BBQ as I also live in Bristol. I have had a Super 6 for testing since October and for those who have been waiting desperately for one, I can confirm it is worth the wait! It really is wonderful to play and create sounds on, plus it sounds great. The binaural feature is really nice and unique.
Fascinating guy and superb design on the Super 6.
future classic in the making.. these are amazing looking (and sounding) synths
Great video! Thanks Nick and George.
Very enjoyable tour and demo. Thanks for the video SS!
My hats off to anyone who can buy one and use it well.
I have some of your old oscillator modules, all PCB’ed up and calibrated, I didn’t get around to finishing the project. Super 6 sounds like it should be a new Orchestral instrument standard, like a modern-day Ondes Martinot. Really really classy. Every success George. I’ll come and say Hello one day.
Great sounds at the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS is the sound and especially playablility that I was looking for for so long!!! Absolutely brilliant. Ordered mine... Thomann Germany says end of may, can't wait!
Stay strong George! Sorry your brand new market emergence is experiencing problems at this uncertain time. Keep the faith and you guys will kill it. It sounds stellar, and I hope to have one soon.. Cheers!
Nice guy, nice philosophy and nice instrument! 👍🏼
Fantastic video gents - what an amazing company and product. Been in love with this synth since I first played with it at Synthfest, can't wait to get my hands on one of my own. Wish UDO all the luck in the world and can't wait to see what you guys come up with next !
Well done George for designing a great sounding synth.
Prompt delivery of a reliable machine must be an even greater challenge.
Good luck to all involved.
4:06 proper head scratch
i already know I'm going to love this synth when it arrives. It certainly makes sounds I've never heard on a fully self contained unit. It would be great if they did a sort of Yamaha DX1 trick. Two super six synths with extra controls, perhaps a function assign matrix with LED's signalling enabled function, an 88note Hammer Action, Poly Aftertouch Keybed, extra split and layering function. I'd take a £10000 finance out for one of those also :)
Incredible stuff here... definitely something special going on with UDO
Beautiful soundscape and feel towards the end!
I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I think the idea of demonstrating instruments in a convention/trade show setting should be eliminated altogether. In such a crazy environment, there is no way that we could appreciate the hard-work and the history of the amazing people behind these products anywhere near the degree that this video has just provided. You can barely hear anything in those environments, and people always make each other sick at them. And then, there's the cost that anyone involved has to go to...
When hard-working people spend thousands on a product, they want to feel that they are buying into more than a bunch of circuits and transistors. I love the feeling of knowing that my money goes to support the families behind these products. It was a real treat to see the environment in which these synths are created and to know that it's not a giant factory run by robots. You can clearly see that George is passionate about his work and believes in his product.
Also, think about the money that could be saved and reinvested back into the product and the families that create them if they didn't have to dedicate huge budgets every year to demonstrating at all of these trade shows, year after year. I think people will begin to realize that trade shows are an outdated, expensive and environmentally damaging way to bring new products to the market.
Although trade shows are a great opportunity for extra martial sex
Well said
Actually we may well find trade shows will never return to their former glory after this pandemic, along with several other crowd-based events.
You can say the same about any show. But how else are you going to be able to actually play around with the hardware before making what may be a very expensive purchase? I know this doesn't apply to every show as many are trade only. But others are more open.
It’s more than just a show to display and push products to consumers. A lot of business deals and networking occurs at these trade shows as well.
So this is the birthplace of the Super Gemini.
It should have a blue plaque installed.
✌✌
Awesome work, George! I wish you the best in 2021!
Oh gooooooood! The wait is killing me! It would be great he he signed the first batches inside or something as a little easter egg. He should be proud of what he has done!
Exquisite
Great tour! George is a fantastic individual.
Awesome. Already got my preorder in. Can’t wait til I’m finally able to create on it!
Great passionate guy. Really exciting new synthesizer, congratulations to UDO..! P.s THIS is the real deal, true passionate real people and no stupid trolling marketing BS. (Just my opinion. But cant help notice the big difference)
wasnt surprised to see a modal in there, got my 001 and maybe one day this baby if i can get the cash togther. something about Bristol and synths, magical. thank you for what you bring to synths George.
Great interview
Bringing new meaning to the phrase 'attention to detail'.
If I had the bread I'd get one just based on the fact that this guy designed & built it - it's obvious a LOT of thought/effort/expertise has gone into it.
Maybe one day...
Did he say 12 filters at once, analog filters?
Can someone confirm that?
Silky and lush sound without FX, woah.
When a synthesizer has its own unique sound and can’t seem to be easily replicated, You know it’s a classic synth.
Well this one has it, yes it is pricey to the standard but it’s being made in Germany.
I’m saving for one even if it takes me a year to pay it off. Is cheaper than therapy and gives me a bigger smile 😃
Really enjoyed that, what a smart guy. Btw, home made DIY synths should always be called 'Folly Synths' :-)
breathtaking instrument and performance at the end
Thank you so much, definitely a highlight of my week. Those prototypes sound lovely. 🤤🤤🤤
The F1 of modern analog synthesizers, and the guy to do it right. Amazing!
george hearn u are so endearing ily
I realised at the end of this video, of course, that I need two of these
George is AWESOME looking FWD to SUPER 6 UDO THANKS!
Great as always Nick, and George’s demo at the end sublime. The sound from the grey one wow! I do hope that’s gonna be a preset? I definitely need one, I promised myself that I wasn’t gonna buy anything for a while but Come on, awesome.
oh. my f;;;king!!!!!!!. god!!!! absolutely amazingly gor=gously briliantly god like brilliance!!!!! thank you thank you thank youu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your Christmas card too!!
You’re welcome! And thank you again for the lovely demo at the end and the prehistory you’re of your creations. Very inspiring!
I was excited about the SUPER 6, but now I'm more excited to know more about the earlier analog synths!
Wow ! Now I want one :). Fantastic performance in the end. It has a certain something.
Off into the galaxy he goes, again...
Well that was a bit special at the end. Very nice. Really emphasises that this board is designed to inspire creativity on the fly for live synth playing. I really need to make some space to pair this with my 002. Lush.
Excellent... Thank you and well done
Jesus, that filter jam at the end....wow!
This synth just sounds amazing
As you can see to the left bottom side at 2:00 mark. The secret and force behind UDO
OMG UDO is incredible!
If I would ever get enough money to get an expansive synth this one would be first !
Make the artisan please! Why is this not in production??
I think somone realy knows his onions with regards to syth tech and its aplication to music, what a great story of pasion and creativity which totaly comes out in the sound of this beautiful synth, Only problem now is ive got find another coupl of bags of sand to get one without my wife finding out how much it cost hummmm ,
Best superbooth vid for me so far :-)
So george men respect ,i like the synth's you early build ;-)
I will live in ragged clothes, take a shower bi weekly and sleep in an enclosed trailer to own this Super 6.
Now you need 2 of these?? Let me rub my 2 coins and see what happen.
Lovely, just lovely sounding synth.
I just love listening to George Hearn perform. Absolutely brilliant and soulful. There is no doubt he connects deeply with this design. Really sells it to me. Wish I could afford one.
Seriously is sonic state based in Bath ?
I went there as a teenager on language camp , two times ..great and beautifull place
Bristol.
This guy is the next synth pioneer.
it sounds like Synclavier ..really nice tune
The Domino sounds lovely!
And the other synths too! :)
I still want one, but I REALLY REALLY want to hear it do bass. I think George is partial to a lot of pad sounds and I truly want to hear if it can do the bass and lead stuff as well.
What’s better than a Super 6? Two Super 6s!
ya, lush
He's been building since synths since 28. Amasing! What school courses or major did he take to learn to build one?
this just in-
burglars break into Bristol tech shop and steal nothing.
A prototype keyboard had apparently been played for most of the night and some tea was made.
a thank you note was found next to the instrument and an empty cup.
Only one question that I need to ask. When? When when when? Ready to purchase six months ago. Cannot wait this is the synth I’ve been waiting for my whole life
A million times this question indeed. Preordered back in November. Jonesing bad for this one.
Also, I hope he gets into the case for the synth that will apparently be available at some point.
You can wait a few more months. I am going to have to wait years until I can afford something like this.
Hope you pre-ordered because the list is going to be long.
Reverb has them shipping out on the 29th of this month, so, 72 hours.
4:06
Fabulous guy with a fabulous synth, it sounds every bit as lovely there as it did at Synthfest last year! Wonderful performance at the end, makes me want one all the more..... pipe dreams!
I like the sound of the Super 6, didn't get on with the 008 I'm afraid.
Sweeeeeet
🤩😱 wow cool synth
27:30 the magic starts
Hi George :) :)
13:30 beautiful sound and chords mingling.. Thank you.. Is the Super 6 capable of producing such a sound?.. And expressiveness?
13:35
13:15
13:38
15:49
23:42
This will be interesting.
Who’s going to handle distribution in America? I’ve seen pre-Order from Perfect Curcuit audio, what about Sweetwater?
Which to get UDO 6 or the Jupiter X?
Super 6 for sure
Wow the best synth of all time so damn lushhhhhhh I’m ready for one a blue one please it’s a female with class one I would marry to. So organic and evolving with a shade of randomness brilliant
All time??
If an unknown corona virus dances through the air , is it then an UDO ?
