Product overview

About this model

The UDO Audio Super 8 polyphonic hybrid keyboard synthesizer brings immersive sound and hands-on control to modern synthesizer design. With 16 voices, dual timbral layers and a true binaural analog signal path, this unit separates each sound across left and right channels for dramatic stereo width. The 61-note semi-weighted keybed offers polyphonic aftertouch, and the streamlined single-layer control layout puts advanced tools within easy reach. Powered by FPGA digital oscillators with wave morphing, cross modulation and analog filters, the Super 8 helps users build evolving textures and spatial soundscapes for detailed studio work or live performances. Binaural Analog Signal Path Widens the Stereo Field This synthesizer features a dedicated binaural signal path, splitting voices between left and right channels to create six true stereo super voices. Independent control of detuning and phase for each channel shapes dynamic, three-dimensional movement. By using binaural processing, pads, leads and effects appear with natural width and depth in recordings and live sets, helping artists place every sound with precision. FPGA Oscillators Enable Deep Wave Morphing and Modulation Inside, two FPGA digital oscillators per voice offer wave morphing, super mode and advanced sync options. The first oscillator provides up to 64 custom waveforms, while the second adds sub oscillators and ring modulation. An 8x8 modulation matrix connects LFOs, envelopes and effects, letting users design complex patches that evolve over time. This architecture supports everything from smooth synth lines to aggressive sound experiments. Intuitive Controls and Smart Connectivity Support Fast Workflow Direct-access knobs, buttons and a two-axis bender allow quick adjustments to pitch, filters, and effects. Layer, split and sequence functions are available from the front panel, avoiding menu diving. The synthesizer connects via USB and MIDI, with pedal inputs and separate stereo outputs for each layer, making it easy to integrate with studio setups or live rigs. File management and firmware updates happen quickly through USB, streamlining both sound creation and performance prep. Folded Aluminum and Steel Chassis Extends Hardware Life The Super 8 model uses folded aluminum and steel construction to protect electronics and controls, reducing wear from travel and heavy use. Mechanical controls are reinforced for reliability, and the semi-weighted keybed handles repeated playing without degradation. This build quality ensures the synth stands up to both daily studio sessions and touring schedules. Experience Versatility With the UDO Audio Super 8 Synthesizer Musicians seeking hands-on modulation, stereo imaging and tactile controls will appreciate the Super 8’s practical layout and powerful sound engine. The instrument’s binaural processing and deep editing options allow users to craft rich, moving soundscapes that cut through any mix. Every feature supports real-time creativity and detailed sound placement in both live and studio environments.
