sorry if it has been posted already, but this synth sound and look amazingly good! this is really exciting!

MPE, plus a button that says āMPEā on it? Iām jumping on this bandwagonā¦
I had the same thought, but then theyād have to change the shape of the control area and probably eliminate stuff on a unit where Iād want all the stuff. I mean, I hardly feel like I sacrifice anything at all with my Hydrasynth desktop, but unless UDO made one big weirdly-dimensioned desktop unit, youāre going to be making a sacrificeāitās just a question of how big. Iām jumping on this bandwagonā¦

When you release the set, it would be interesting to get complete diagrams or snapshots of the patches.
Nice patches. 3:58 
I love my Super 6, especially its ability to go from beautiful to bully in a flash

New Super 6 firmware time. Looking forward to checking out the sequencer.
v0.23:
ā¢ Sequencer
ā¢ More useful oscillator X-MOD behaviour in oscillator SYNC mode
ā¢ Added dotted divisions to synchronised delay.
ā¢ Added dotted divisions to synchronised LFO 1 rate.
ā¢ Added dotted divisions to EXT CLK synchronised tempo.
ā¢ Patch name is transferred when saving a patch to a new location
ā¢ External MIDI clock synchronisation saved globally

Yep, sounds pretty great to me. P6 / OB6 money though, but then thatās a moot point as I wouldnāt have space anyway.
I understand the no-screen philosophy but I wonder if Iād struggle with remembering what I did on a given patch with no way of seeing what the saved parameters and assignments areā¦

I have to agree with Nickās overall opinion of the instrument.
The sound is fantastic and the palette is wide, delicate/nuanced, huge/gritty and everything in-between are easy to get to. The oscillators (to my ear) have a wonderfully quality to them. I find myself using modulation sparingly, and often not even using reverb (Iām sorry for this heresy).
The interface is equally fantastic. Itās apparent simplicity belies a lot of options and room for experimentation. The immediacy complements my workflow greatly (which is mostly improvisational).
I enjoy the lack of a screen and donāt find it a hindrance, the few shift functions are easy to grok and get used to. The sequencer is functional, but a little disappointingly vanilla - as Nick mentions in his review, the option to sequence lanes of parameter automation would be wonderful.
The build quality is incredible. Every slider, pot and button feels stable and mechanically satisfying, the instrument has a reassuring heft and solidity to it.
It is undeniably spendy, but for me itās worth it. I wanted to consolidate a bunch of smaller synths down into one big fancy polysynth. I considered the P6/OB6 but the Super 6 has itās own flavour that just appealed to me more.

For some reason it reminds me of the Yamaha Reface CS. The sliders look very similar maybe thats why.
Yeah, I bought a reverb unit just to use with the Super 6, and I havenāt even hooked it up yet. The sequencer is indeed meh, thought itās nice to at least sequence the pitch bend (Nick didnāt mention that itās X/Y), and maybe weāll get more in future firmwareāhas anyone queried UDO? The OB6 was also a point of comparison for me, but I decided on a wider, modern sound palette, and itās not like youād save any money or get a bigger keyboard with the OB6, and somehow I donāt feel constrained by 49 here. I just need that frickin MPE button to start working.

Like @okam, I havenāt even used it with any reverb yet. I bought a Neunaber Immerse that Iāll get around to eventually.
