Key Features of the Super 8

• At the heart of the Super 8 are two independent binaural analog-hybrid synthesizer signal chains using UDO's exclusive and proven synthesizer technology.
• With up to 16 voices of polyphony and two unique timbres, each with its own independent effects chain, this instrument is analog reinvented.
• Powered by complex FPGA digital oscillators, the Super 8 features extended tonal capabilities such as waveform morphing, cross and ring modulation, bidirectional synchronization, and a fully analog signal path to the output, inspired by heavyweight analog polysynth tradition.
• The Super 8 prioritizes the player with high-quality touch control elements and our user-centered intuitive design philosophy that inspires exploration and sound play.

Key Functions of the Super 8

Super Evolution

As a new evolution of the Super family, the 16-voice Super 8 fits perfectly between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini. This synthesizer embodies UDO's philosophy of power and playability. It integrates the dual cores and advanced features of its big brother into a more compact and streamlined format, offering the best of both worlds.

Sound Duality

The Super 8 enables smooth transition between two independent synthesizer layers, creating textured, deep, and rich soundscapes with a simple touch. With the power, flexibility, and immediacy of sound advocated by UDO, this synthesizer is designed to take you on a unique sonic journey.

Where Tradition Meets Innovation

By harnessing the renowned UDO framework, built on cutting-edge FPGA digital architecture, paired with iconic voltage-controlled synthesizer technology, the Super 8 embodies a harmonious fusion of traditions and innovations. With uncompromising design and top-quality components, this instrument promises a lasting musical experience.

What is Binaural?

Binaural refers to the twin signal paths of the synthesizer. In binaural mode, each channel (ear) has a complete synthesizer voice. You can detune and phase-shift the left and right oscillators, amplitude, and filter (and of course other parameters) relative to each other. Ranging from subtle to extreme, this unique feature allows for experimenting with the "width" of sound and creates a better sense of 3D positioning. In this sense, there's a "super voice" for two "conventional" voices.
