Featuring an upgraded SuperTouch 49-key keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch and a new keybed with improved feel and key weighting, the white Super 6 ST49 Synthesizer from UDO Audio is a polyphonic, 12-voice digital-analog hybrid synth with two digital FPGA-based oscillators per voice fed into a real analog SSM2044-inspired VCF with a resonant 4-pole LPF and fixed linkable HPF, a fully analog VCA with selectable velocity sensitivity, and two highly versatile envelope generators. The Super 6 synthesizer can support binaural output for true-stereo audio with massive spatial potential, allowing you to create uniquely immersive and dynamic sounds with the benefits of analog warmth and digital precision.
Once you've sculpted optimal sounds, there's plenty more room for creativity with a sophisticated modulation matrix that supports both predefined destinations and custom mapping for a wide range of controls, as well as 24-bit stereo effects like chorus and delay for sweetening your sounds even further. Both the five-mode arpeggiator and 64-step sequencer are MIDI-syncable, and you get swing and a four-octave range. With 128 rewritable patch memory locations (64 user, 64 factory) and 16 rewritable sequence memories, you can build up a sizable library of creations for instant recall at any time.
- Polyphonic aftertouch allows you to apply different aftertouch pressures on individual notes as opposed to a single value for all held notes. This opens up a new world of expression, allowing the player to accentuate and flourish individual parts of a held chord or arpeggiated sound.
Weighted Key Action
- The SuperTouch 49 is more than just a polyphonic aftertouch upgrade, it is a complete keybed replacement with an improved feel and key weighting. Using proprietary UDO technology to allow for seamless integration and a new level of playability specifically designed for the Super 6 audio architecture.
You also get:
- Two-axis bender joystick with LFO trigger
- Six voicing modes: Poly 1, Poly 2, Solo, Legato, variable size and type
- Unison for polyphonic modes
- Variable portamento
- Numerous keyboard-adjacent controls for bender DDS 1/2 pitch and VCF cutoff modulation
- Playable spring-lever keyboard octave selector
- MPE MIDI compliance with polyphonic aftertouch, pitch bend, and expression
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.
- DDS 1: six waveforms (sine, sawtooth, square, triangle, and noise) and 32 user-downloadable alternative waveforms
- DDS 2: six waveforms including sine, sawtooth, square, triangle, and pulse-width modulation
- Coarse tuning between 64 and 2' for DDS 1, and 32 and 2' for DDS 2
- Fine-tuning over a range of 10 semitones up and down for DDS 2
- X-Fade mode crossfades the two oscillators over two octaves from a single keyboard split point
- Hard-sync support
- DDS 2 can double as an LFO or a fixed square-wave suboscillator
- DDS 2 can also process external audio signals via the stereo 1/4" audio input
- Real analog VCF with 4-pole / 24 dB per octave low-pass filter
- Resonance control and two levels of overdrive
- Extra fixed-frequency high-pass filter set before the LPF, with on/off selection
- Creates a band-pass filter when linked with the LPF
- Selectable keyboard tracking modes with filter autotune for accurate tracking
- Analog VCA with selectable fixed or variable envelope modulation
- Dynamics control for selectable velocity sensitivity
It features controls for delay, delay with left/right phase offset, and a selection of run modes (free running, reset, and one-shot) and syncing modes (arpeggiator/sequencer or external clock). LFO 2 sports rate and delay controls, selectable trigger modes, and dedicated controls for rate, pitch, and VCF/VCA modulation.
- LFO 1 Waveforms: triangle, reverse sawtooth, sample and hold, square, and any waveform selection for Oscillator 1
- LFO 2 Waveforms: sine, reverse sawtooth, sample and hold, square, sawtooth, and sample and glide
A looping mode with selectable keytracking allows ENV 1 to be used as an LFO or FM source. ENV 2 features a traditional ADSR design with multiple destinations.
- One stereo pair of 1/4" outputs for true-stereo, binaural audio output (summed as mono when binaural is off)
- A 1/4" stereo input for processing external audio through the second oscillator
- A powerful headphone output with dedicated volume control
- Two pedal inputs: expression and sustain
- 5-pin DIN MIDI input, output, and thru connectors
- USB-B for MIDI, waveform swapping, and firmware updates
