Unidentified Dancing Objects (UDO), a renowned British instrument manufacturer, has unveiled pricing and availability details for its highly anticipated Super Gemini synthesizer. The company initially teased the device at Superbooth 2023, and now musicians and sound enthusiasts can get their hands on this powerful instrument. Packed with impressive features, the Super Gemini is set to deliver an extraordinary sound design experience.
The Super Gemini is a true powerhouse, boasting 20 voices and dual-layer polyphony. Its bi-timbral analog hybrid sound engine allows for a range of sonic possibilities. With 20-note capability and dual-layer polyphony, users can combine sounds to create ten “super” voices that produce unique sound design combinations for the left and right stereo channels.
Designed with comprehensive sound design in mind, the Super Gemini features a stereo binaural signal path equipped with effects processors, gate arrays, and pedal connectors. This enables users to explore “glittering frequency” and “shattering harmonics,” allowing for the creation of both familiar and discordant soundscapes. The instrument offers 256 performance and patch slots, as well as 64 interchangeable waveforms to kickstart the sound design journey. Wave morphing, cross mod features, bi-directional sync, and an all-analog signal path provide musicians with a wide array of sound manipulation options.
The Super Gemini also includes a sequencer with 16 editable patterns. Its exterior is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, constructed from durable aluminum and steel. UDO’s attention to detail extends to the knobs and levers, ensuring a high-quality tactile experience. The instrument features a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, and the custom-engineered panel incorporates a ribbon controller for individual note articulation.
Building upon the success of UDO’s Super 6 synth, the Super Gemini takes things to the next level with its enhanced features and capabilities. However, it’s important to note that this is a professional-grade synthesizer with high-grade components, and such quality comes at a price. The Super Gemini is priced at $4,200, reflecting its premium craftsmanship and performance. Preorders are currently available through various music retailers, with shipping scheduled to begin in October.
Musicians and sound enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the Super Gemini can now secure their orders and look forward to October when they can experience the unparalleled sound design possibilities offered by UDO’s latest synthesizer creation.
