ANOTHER LEVEL
Super Gemini is a 20-voice polyphonic, bitimbral analog-hybrid dream synth. Employing an unprecedented dual-layer design, this bi-timbral instrument gifts players with immediate control over both timbral layers. Allowing you to tweak, mold and transform your performances in real time on a synth with unparalleled sonic possibilities.
Stacked with up to 20 voices of polyphony, each performance is an entire spectrum of sonic opportunity in which voices and timbral layers can be split, dualled, sequenced all at the touch of a single control. Unique spectrally rich digital hardware oscillators, decorated with expansive tonal features such as wave morphing, cross & ring modulation, bi-directional sync and more, all feed into an all-analog signal path inspired by the classic vintage instruments of our past.
Matching sonic innovation with tactility, the Super Gemini is equipped with a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, in addition to a custom engineered ribbon sensor for individual note articulation and a gestural way to explore your sound. With 128 performance and 256 patch slots, 32 interchangeable waveforms and 16 sequences, you can safely store and edit your sounds without concern.
As the second synth in the ‘Super’ series, the Gemini represents a quantum leap in UDO’s technology – building on the acclaimed rich sound pioneered by George Hearn and the Super 6. Adopting a true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors, Gemini will take you on an adventure of spectral dynamics, of glittering frequency and shattering subharmonics, of comfort and discord, expectations and surprises.
01. Duality in Control
Equipped with dual synth-control levels, the Super Gemini gifts you with comprehensive and immediate control over multiple patches/timbral layers, calling out for you to tweak, mold and transform your performances in an unprecedented real-time form. This is a synth that opens new heights of powerful and immediate play.
02. The Power of Play
With a total of 20 voices, the option to split and stack patches, each with its own individual arpeggio or sequence, and an uncompromisingly powerful sound engine, the Super Gemini allows you to push sonic boundaries and to explore the acclaimed UDO sound to the fullest.
03. Inspired By The Classics, Built For Today
Super Gemini fuses a state-of-the-art FPGA digital architecture with archetypal voltage-controlled synthesizer technology. This harmonious marriage of old and new encompasses all that is great from the era of classic analog polyphonic synthesizers, yet in an unparalleled form factor which is immensely powerful, flexible, and reliable.
What is Binaural?
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.
FPGA digital oscillators
The Super Series instruments leverage the power of ultra-precision FPGA digital oscillators for a direct and alias-free sound source. This cutting-edge 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.
