At Superbooth 2021, UDO Audio has introduced the Super 6 Desktop, a new synth that puts their Super 6 binaural analog hybrid synth engine into a desktop module.
Here’s the official intro video:
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Our brand new, compact and no-compromise take on the Super 6 — offering the irresistible combination of a powerful and accessible musical instrument with flexible and immediate control, gorgeous analog sound and unrivalled build quality. All in a desirable portable format designed to open the Super 6 to a new audience.”
Details on pricing and availability are to be announced.
Keyboard version with this colorscheme plz! +the additional labels.
Almost exactly what I was hoping for. Only thing missing now is a massively increased patch storage.
Oh God.. it’s glorious isn’t it!
Why does it look so amazing?
I found this on another site and barely anyone else has covered it. This is the first synth I will purchase in years!

nice find!
its only a concept so far, but its a cool concept
unfortunately it wont benefit from lower cost manufacturing, which means you will probably pay a premium for it
id be interested to see when it actually releases as a real product
My apologies for the wrong link, yet here it is in the wild…..at Superbooth.

It is going into production at @ €3.000 or about $3,540.
wow, sounds about right
looks awesome tho
Was just thinking of the keyboard version, thinking it didnt look quite right to me…
“Analog” synthesiser
Isn’t it mostly digital?
pretty sure the filter is the only analogue part
They have a signal path diagram for the keyboard version on their website. The signal path is 2x digital oscillator -> analog mixer -> analog hpf -> analog lpf -> analog vca -> bypassable digital fx -> analog mixer -> out. Since the oscillators are digital I’d still call that a hybrid synth, but “mostly digital” isn’t quite right either
It’s essentially digitally controlled analog signal path.
Digital oscillators send an analog signal into digitally controlled analog mixer, digitally controlled vcf and digitally controlled vca.
Similar to the Peak/Summit, the idea is to get the best of both worlds.
Could we please have this color scheme in a 61-key version?
Only if it’s bi timbral.
unfortunately the only way to achieve binaural brain-synching is to wear headphones, but its still cool to have options
“Binaural” = Stereo Chorus and Panning effects
In the case of the Super 6, ‘binaural’ refers to independent audio paths for the left and right channels.
That’s why it’s the ‘Super 6’, though it has 12-voice polyphony. It’s 12-voice in standard mode – where ‘stereo’ means chorus and panning effects, and 6-voice in binaural mode.
I don’t think the ‘binaural’ term has anything to do with so-called ‘binaural beats’, but I wonder if this synth’s architecture could let you incorporate them into patches.
Excellent. This is squarely in my wheelhouse. Another contemporary synth that will possibly be relevant 15 years from now. Lots of those recently. This is really a great time to be in to synths.
HaHa the video looks like a Mattress Ad.
the V.O.
Now Sleep Here
exactly what i was hoping for, wonder what it will cost!
Great design from this company, the desktop unit looks pretty perfect (would love to see a “dark” version tho).
Honestly, I’m disappointed. It’s not really a “New Instrument” as was initially reported. It seems this year’s Superbooth is focused on simply offering different sizes of models of previously released gear. Desktop Super 6, Deluxe HydraSynth etc rather than coming out with anything new and fresh.
Somehow i did not expect them to make a desktop version. He always talks about the interface and the high end controls and i thought for him losing the keyboard was giving away to match direct control. Lucky for me there will be a desktop, i love that!
Like other desktops would love more of a price difference with the keyboard but that is not going to happen every that part is just not that expensive.
