Udo Audio Super 8 Polyphonic 16-voice Bi-timbral Analog-hybrid Performance Synthesizer
- Product Code: ga161268
-
Designed to inspire exploration and sonic play, the UDO Super 8 is the next evolution in the Super series that sits between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini in size and power. At its core, the Super 8 features two independent binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer signal chains using UDO's proprietary and proven synthesizer technology. The instrument boasts up to 16 voices of polyphony and two unique timbres, each with their own independent effect chain. Like its larger sibling the Super Gemini, voices and timbral layers can be split, duelled, and sequenced, all at the touch of a single control.
The Super 8 balances power, playability, and performance. It is powered by complex FPGA digital oscillators and decorated with expansive tonal features such as wavemorphing, cross and ring modulation, bidirectional sync, and an all-analog signal path to the output. The instrument is equipped with a 61-note semiweighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, left hand performance controls, 256 performance and patch slots, 32 interchangeable waveforms, and 16 sequences.

As the next evolution in the Super family, the 16-voice Super 8 sits confidently between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini. This synth is the distillation of the UDO philosophy of the power of play, with dual cores and the same playability features of its bigger cousin, all in a more compact and simplified presentation. It's the best of both worlds.
The Super 8 allows you to effortlessly transition between two independent synth layers, inspiring textural, deep, and rich soundscapes at a touch. With UDO's championed powerful, flexible and immediate sound, this synthesizer is designed to take you on a sonic journey.
Using the tried and tested UDO framework of state-of-the-art FPGA digital architecture with archetypal voltage-controlled synthesizer technology, the Super 8 is a harmonious meeting of old and new in ideas and techniques. All contained within a no-expense-spared build with the highest quality components, The Super 8 is an instrument for life.
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 or 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 voice for every two conventional voices.
The Super Series instruments leverage the power of ultraprecision FPGA digital oscillators for a direct and alias-free sound source. This innovative technology combined with an archetypal analog signal path to the outputs provides a rich and flexible sound canvas that can be sculpted for warm basses, expansive pads, and sparkling leads.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. How save is noise reduction when filming music videos, like concerts or church performance?
A: The active noise reduction technology on the JOBY Wavo PRO Hybrid Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone should work well in most scenarios, including the ones described, as it is focused on minimizing self-generated structural noise from the mic.
Q: 2. Is this compatible with a landline that has a detached(unattached) hand set with no jack?
A: No, this is intended to be used with a landline phone with a wired handset.
Q: 3. i'm confuse with the description, so does this mic actually has a recorder built in? if yes, does it record to the app?
A: The Joby Wavo Pro records two channels (left and right) on your device, the safety track mode routes a duplicate of the main mic signal at -10 dB to one of the channels. Even if the main channel distorts, the secondary channel will be clean.
Q: 4. how thick is it? Does it have a heavy feel to it?
A: The background is thick enough to be durable and last, yet also very flexible and collapsible. It does not have an overly heavy feel to it, but you can tell that it is made of good material.
Q: 5. Does this product work with cellphone besides telephone?
A: It's not compatible with smartphones, only telephones with a RJ11C cable.
