Supercritical Synthesizers has announced that the Redshift 6 Variable Character Synthesizer is now available.
In addition, synthesist Kebu shared this ‘shut up and play’ style video demo for the Redshift 6:
The Supercritical Redshift 6 combines technology from the company’s previous products, the Demon Core Oscillator and the Neutron Flux Filter. Each of the six voices features a DCO, with analog waveforms generated under digital control. The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter, also digitally controlled, to “act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more”.
In addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 offers modulators, flexible voice routing, multitimbrality, MPE, and DSP effects.
Pricing and Availability:
The Supercritical Redshift 6 is available now, with a street price of about $1,349.
None of the synths in this general category sound bad at all. I just wonder how many non-Kebu-level players will own 15 of them and never get to the heart of what they can do. Gear lust can be a serious issue! OTOH, I can easily see Redshift 6 as a satellite being played by a main controller/workstation. There’s no debate about that sound making it a worthy group member.
