CatSynth Pic: UDO Super 6

Our Maine Coon friend is back, this time with a brand new UDO Super 6 synthesizer. From lwxbeats on Instagram.

#udosuper6 landed home today and she can’t wait to play with it! 😃

The UDO Super 6 takes inspiration from Roland Jupiter series (one can see this in the switches, sliders, etc.), but is its own instrument, using FPGAs to implement the oscillators and sporting a binaural architecture with separate voices for each stereo channel. We at CatSynth would be very curious to try this out.

The Polyend Tracker is a tabletop synthesizer and sequencer combo that reimagines the classic “trackers” from the 1990s. It has sampling, wavetable, granular and an FM radio built in.

I managed to catch cute little fun-sized Abby in my studio today. She has a stern looking face, but that’s just the tortie-tude. She’s actually a sweetheart!!
