Adopting a true-stereo Binaural signal path with dual FPGAs and twin effects processors, Gemini will take you on an adventure of spectral dynamics, of glittering frequency and shattering subharmonics, of comfort and discord, expectations and surprises.
hopefully its a little more than just dual-S6 engines. sounds like it will be
I could, but Iāll be throwing it out the window within a few minutes due to the screen. I sold on a Rev2 because I struggled with its screen (amongst several other issues). Should have included that in my gripes list further up. Sequential make great sounds but dreadful screens + graphic UIs.
The super 6 is in no way a one knob per function synth. That, coupled with a lack of a screen always made me feel lost when I was using it. Every update just made it worse because (unlike a screen) the panel canāt ever show anything new. Even though I loved it (look at my avatar lol) I ended up selling it. With dual layers I think it is going to be twice as bad. Remembering everything that is going on in two layers with no visual feedback or way to reverse engineer a patch? No thanks. It really needs a screen or it is going to be horrible to use. The romantic notion of a synth with no screen is not practical here. How many unlabeled button combos for menu settings does someone want to remember?
Itās not āromanticā thoā; itās an accessibility issue. If a screen/UI is done badly itās better not to have one at all. Some of us have shitty eyesight. The M:C screens have Elektronās strong UI design but they were too small to read. The MicroFreak and the Rev2 screens have terrible graphic UI (bad fonts, bad layouts, bad use of the limited space).
I hear what youāre saying about the complexity of the instrument. Maybe it does need a screen. But if it needs a screen, it deserves a freaking good one not a screen that exhibits āthis isnāt our area of expertise so weāll just do it half-arsed rather than properlyā.
yeah sorry to be off-topic, butit is tough to reverse-engineer a patch and figure out what youāve done in the past without the ability to see all values clearly. although the top screen is very helpful at displaying the mod matrix clearly. i think its comparable to/better than something like a Peak but nothing like a hydra/elektron style thing i guess
me too. I was just telling my friend, āthis guy really knows how to do a GAS-inducing write-upā
I do hope they end up making a desktop though, because poly AT is nice, but I want to use it with mpe and my linnstrument and donāt have any desire for a huge keyboard. But man, two layers will sound insane, canāt wait for a demo!
It was said by George how much of an influence the Jupiter 8 was for the Super 6. Now with the Orange buttons and what not it feels like this is going all the way and will be very very close to his dream,
prolly the latter. or even higher. Iām guessing $5k USD which is almost Ā£4000. also itās not fully analog; just the filters are. but yeah, Iām sure FPGAās arenāt cheap either.
ah, OK. I thought it was there, or quite close to it. and that lack of a screen and extra layers of complexity was part of the design focus.
I hear you. I was just complaining in the Prophet 5 thread the other day that I donāt use the new firmware features, because I donāt want to be forced into having the release notes or a cheat sheet nearby to remember how the hell to access and edit them. BUT the core synth design is plenty for me and I can use it 100% without messing with these features. is the Super 6 not like this?
Not a bad price when you consider other boutique synth prices (black corp I am looking at you!), and even stuff from from bigger manufacturers like sequential. I mean a few hundred bucks more than a prophet 6, this is a no brainer.
dear lord, this is so nice. first thing from superbooth to make my knees weak so far. gonna really have to deliver sound wise if its in the same $ ballpark as the 3rd wave, prophet 10, etc
