UDO Audio has announced that the Super 6 Desktop, a new synth that puts their Super 6 binaural analog hybrid synth engine into a desktop module, is now shipping.
Here’s the official intro video:

- Large format, high quality potentiometers and switches for unparalleled tactile feel and exemplary lifespan.
- Additional features such as drift control, independent control of analog high-pass filter, pan spread control, advanced envelopes and polyphonic aftertouch.
- Polychain option (with Super 6) and MPE operability in future update.
Pricing and Availability
The UDO Super 6 Desktop is available now for $2399 USD.
Ouch.
I hope they will make it in blue
That’s not much of a discount
Removing the keyboard and reducing the case size probably saves them about $250 per unit in manufacturing costs (excluding the tooling and design costs). They’re selling the desktop for $600 less than the keyboard version.
for info
it is 200 euro less at T
so for me too….ouch, seems you have to pay for vesa and feet ,even if you will never use or need them
will stay patient and wait for the osmose ( not comparing of course)
seems like the price of the keyboard is not updated on some shops.
i don’t see how a vesa (it just holes) or the feet added much to the cost, but they are very practical.
a desktop version is not necessarily to save in cost, it is for whoever wants a keyboardless version. i don’t think nobody who wants it will be bothered by the price difference.
Looks so good, worth the price imo because it doubles as high end decor.
I hope they keep updating and improving this synth for a very long time. I got the feeling this synth could turn into one of those iconic synths. Love the grey NASA vibe, though could use some gorgeous side panels on it. 🙂
Chunky side panels aren’t needed IMO. The minimal metal sides look better. They can be replaced with rack ears too.
UDO is one of the most exciting new synth designers around. This box is beautiful and I will probably pick one up after my tax refund comes back next spring. We see so much junk coming out lately but they are doing a really great job and I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
