First two days with the UDO Super Gemini 🌬️
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

The UDO super Gemini has exceeded all my expectations.
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.

Some synths recommendations?
Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying a semi modular synths in the 200€ price range (a bit more or less would be okay of course). I know Behringer have a couple semi modulars in this price range. I already have a Korg Volca Keys. It also should not be monophonic.
I would be happy about answers!

I bought Kasane Teto, so I tried making a song with it.
I tried making a track using Kasane Teto—is there anyone out there who likes this kind of stuff? Is it hardstyle, or maybe “jump style”? I’m still just starting out, so I’d love to hear your thoughts.
To be honest, I get the feeling that Japanese people who make Vocaloid music don't really listen to songs like this, so I'd like people overseas to give them a listen.

Looking for synth recommendations
I am seeking the advice of the community. I play in a six piece folk-rock group, and I'm looking to add a synthesizer to my live rig. Right now I usually play a Nord Electro 3 as my single keyboard during live performances. It's a great keyboard for piano, wurli, and some organ sounds, but I'm looking to branch out to add some more textures and ambience to my sound. I'm a bit lost in what seems like an infinite selection of synths out there, and a lot of the advice I read is centered around studio gear and VSTs.
Types of parts I like to play include:
- combining with an electric guitarist to create ambient soundscapes.
- playing lead lines, harmonizing with guitar solos (currently doing this with an organ sound).
- quieter, subtle, airy, or flute-like lines behind vocal parts.
Things I'm looking for in a synth include:
- savable presets. This is a must as I need to be able to switch sounds quickly between songs. I would love if changing to a preset also physically updated all the knobs but I don't think this is a thing, at least that I can find.
- polyphony. I don't have a hard requirement here, but I'd say at least 4 voices.
- no menu diving. I've learned that I can't really get into keyboard with any menu diving, I need more or less all the sounds to be available through knobs.
- a built in keyboard. The desktop synths are great for studios, but I don't want to mess around with setting up a midi keyboard at every show.
I'm open to more or less all price ranges, I just want something that suits my needs.
Thanks!
