A bunch of random little clips from my first couple of days with the Super Gemini. Safe to say I’m in love with this beautiful instrument. 😅
My main instrument is electric guitar and this is definitely the first synth I’ve ever had that comes close to the level of expression and personality you can get in your guitar playing. With guitar and other string instruments you get so much feeling into your playing through having that direct connection to the strings with your fingers. The polyphonic aftertouch on this keyboard gives me that feeling of vibrato ect. I think once you’ve experienced polyphonic aftertouch you can’t go back haha

I’d been eyeing off this synth for over a year, I was living in my home country Australia with a plan to move to Germany to continue pursuing my music so rather than buy it in Australia and have fly with it I decided to wait until I moved to Germany. That gave me a lot of time to research the synth and so I felt I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting. Now having the synth I’m floored by this thing! I’ve had the prophet 6 and Moog Voyager among others and no synth I’ve ever experienced has come close to the quality of this thing. It’s also incredibly deep whilst being incredibly intuitive, free flowing and immediate. The thing that I loved so much about this synth when I first heard about it was that it has no screen and all the knobs/sliders ect were on the front panel. No menu diving no feeling more like a computer you program rather than an instrument you play. As a guitarist primarily the thing I love about electric guitar is how incredibly expressive it is and this synth is by far the most organic and expressive synth I’ve ever played! This synth has to be played to be truly experienced, George Hearn and the UDO team and doing great things and it feels so good see an instrument that takes so much of what I’ve loved about vintage synths but is pushing it forward to new heights.
