Synthesizers
01 The Super 6 Desktop is our fully-featured 12-voice polyphonic, binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer reimagined in a compact and hyper-flexible package. A harmonious marriage of state of the art FPGA digital hardware oscillators and voltage controlled analog tech. It is flexible, powerful and refined with a gorgeous analog tone. Rich and evolving textures are easily teased from the unique super-wavetable core and can be shaped and manipulated with the binaural analog signal path and flexible modulation.

Overview
The Super 6 Desktop is our fully-featured 12-voice polyphonic, binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer reimagined in a compact and hyper-flexible package. UDO's inaugural production synthesizer, the Super 6 is a result of many years of hard work and numerous iterations of development. Our mission with the Super 6 has been to harmonise what we love about archetypal electronic instrument design with modern, novel synthesis technologies that excel at generating spatially dynamic sonic results.
In Binaural mode, the Super 6 features a true stereo signal path in which the instrument’s twelve voices are twinned to form six stereo ‘super’ voices. Consequently, the left and right channels — and each of the player’s ears — are assigned their own complete synthesizer voice. Parameters for both channels of each super voice may be
independently controlled, facilitating the player to create rich and unique stereo images.
The Super 6 is a love-letter to the classic analogue synthesizer, brought firmly into the present with cutting-edge technology under the hood and a no-compromise approach to sound character, build quality and interface design. The rich sound that UDO has been championed for, paired with a robust, compact and inviting form factor with smooth, solid and responsive controls throughout, it cries out to be played.

Key Features
01
Massive Modulation
Without Menus
Enormous flexibility at the player's fingertips through simple controls and a carefully designed front-panel. Going deeper, there is an intuitive and immediate modulation system based around the performance area switches. For those who want to go even further, every panel control can be targeted for modulation, all simultaneously and all with unique modulation amounts.

Binaural Analog Path
In Binaural mode, the Super 6 features a true stereo signal path in which the instrument’s twelve voices are twinned to form six stereo ‘super’ voices. Consequently, the left and right channels — and each of the player’s ears — are assigned their own complete synthesizer voice. Parameters for both channels of each super voice may be independently controlled, facilitating the player to create rich and unique stereo images. The effect ranges from subtle to extreme stereo movement, creating an enhanced sense of spatial positioning relative to “conventional” monaural signal-chains panned at their output.
03
Compact, Flexible, Ergonomic
Offering the flexible and immediate control, gorgeous analog sound and unrivalled build quality of the Super 6, but in a more compact package. The Super 6 Desktop is a fully- featured Super 6 analog hybrid 12 voice synthesizer, housed in a newly designed all- metal chassis. The Super 6 Desktop also includes ergonomic features such as VESA mount compliance, optional rack ears for mounting in a standard 19" rack (7U) and robust flip up feet.

The Birth of Super,
Paying Homage to the Classics
The Super 6 is an instrument that is borne of a long held passion for synthesizers. In designing the Super 6 we wanted to create an instrument that feels familiar at first glance, but offers new and inspiring opportunities when delving deeper. The layout and aesthetic is an homage to some of the classic synthesizers that have inspired us for many years — the instrument's features and capabilities bring these ideas firmly into the 21st century.
Sound. Engineering. Design
Super 6. Binaural Begins.
Super 6 brings together deep hands-on control, a cutting-edge unique stereo signal architecture, and an exceptionally powerful hybrid sound engine, into an instrument designed for real, hands-on exploration and play. Experiment with epic 3D width in Binaural mode, or simply enjoy the many sweet spots of UDO's championed hybrid sound. It is the birth of the Super Series instruments — designed without compromise to be the inaugural journey in realising of the UDO ethos: The Power of Play.

What Does It All Mean?
FPGA Digital Oscillators
Super 6 leverages the power of ultra-precision FPGA digital oscillators for a direct and alias-free sound source. This cutting-edge technology combined with archetypal analog components and sound sources provides a rich and flexible sonic canvas that can be sculpted for warm basses, expansive pads, and sparkling leads.
Binaural Analog Signal Path
Binaural refers to the twin synthesizer signal paths. In Binaural mode, each channel (ear) has a complete synthesizer voice. You can detune and de-phase the left and right oscillators, amplitude and filter (and indeed other parameters) relative to each-other. Ranging from subtle to extreme, this unique feature allows for experimenting with the 'width' of the sound and creates an improved sense of 3D positioning. It has in this sense one “super voices” for every two “conventional” voices.
12 Polyphonic Voices
Super 6 employs a generous 12 voices in standard mode, with the option of twinning them to create 6 voices in Binaural mode. In this mode, the synthesizer offers 6 'super' voices, compared to the full 12 in standard mode, allowing for rich spatial effects while maintaining polyphonic performance.
Vesa & Rack Mountable
The Super 6 Desktop includes a host of ergonomic features that make the most of the desktop form factor, such as VESA mount compliance, optional rack ears for mounting in a standard 19" rack (7U) and robust flip up feet.
No-Compromise Build
An instrument is cherished not just for the way it sounds but for the way it feels to play. We build our instruments to the highest standards, with precision engineering alongside premium materials and components. Every detail is designed for durability, reliability, and a truly hands-on experience.
