16-Voice Polyphonic Synthesizer
UDO - Super 8

bitimbral analogue-hybrid performanceUDO producly introduce the next evolution in their Super series synthesizers. At the heart of the Super 8, you'll find two independent binaural analogue-hybrid synthesizer signal chains, using UDO’s proprietary and proven synthesizer technology. With up to 16 voices of polyphony and two unique timbres each with their own independent effect chain, this instrument reimagines analogue. Just like its larger sibling the Super Gemini, voices and timbral layers can be split, dualled, sequenced all at the touch of a single control.
Powered by complex FPGA digital oscillators, the Super 8 offers expansive tonal features such as wave morphing, cross & ring modulation, bi-directional sync and an all-analogue signal path to the output, inspired by the analogue poysynth heavyweights of lore. A 61-note semi-weighted keybed is included, with polyphonic aftertouch, left hand performance controls and 256 performance and patch slots, 32 interchangeable waveforms and 16 sequences. Balancing power, playability and performance.
Found in between the Super 6 and the Super Gemini in size and power, the Super 8 puts the player first using high quality tactile control elements with UDO's user-centric intuitive design philosophy that keeps you inspired. Using a similar true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors like the Gemini, whilst retaining the portability and road-friendly elements of the Super 6. The Super 8 is certain to be a long time companion in your adventures in sound.

Super. Evolved.

the best of both worldsAs 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 the dual cores and playability features of it’s bigger cousin, all in a more compact and simplified presentation.
Duality In Sound

inspiring texturesThe 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 an epic sonic journey.
Cutting-Edge Innovation

Respected TraditionUsing 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 will be with you forever.
What Is Binaural?

twin synthesizer signal pathsBinaural 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. Vairying 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

rich and flexible sound canvasThe 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 analogue signal path to the outputs provides a rich and flexible sound canvas that can be sculpted for warm basses, expansive pads, and glistening leads.
