[Preset] UDO Super Gemini / Super 8

Instruments
1

I love my Super Gemini, but I find it hard to remember all the quirks, and the internal changes for certain settings.
Alltough all controls are reachable via the front panel, I decided to make a preset for it, so it could help me tell what’s happening under the hood, or what shortcuts there are (help page).

Consider it rather as a learning tool, replacing nose diving into the manual.

For now it’s work in progress. It only works on one channel and has barely been tested. Some controls are duplicated for future distinction between upper and lower channel but both of them are addressing the same channel for now.

But any remarks are welcome

I’ve been tweaking a bit further and building on mutlitimbrality. But that’s not ready yet, so don’t expect to see all values shown correctly when changing form one layer to another.

For now better stick to the upper layer , I’d say

I don’t have a UDO, so I can’t comment directly, but I’ve always thought a great use case for the Electras would be a an add-on to a synth that already has a decent knobby control surface.

Have the Electra handle the ‘Page 2’ or excessive shift functions only and leave the rest to the synth surface. This would work well if the Electra could follow the patch changes and load in the data fairly smoothly. It would be even nicer if the synth had a space for it, kind of like the old PG-200 and JX-3P

I have adapted NewIgnis’ Nymphes preset for the Mini so that a particular page has all the Shift-modified slider assignments.

Yep, this a good use case, like what @Red_Hector also did for the Dradbox Nymphes.
But here this is yet another one; the Gemini does not have so many hidden functions, but it does multiple things at the same time.

  • For instance: the DDS1 oscillator is free running, but when it is in Super Mode 1, the 7 oscillators are reset. In Super mode 2 these 7 are free running again.
  • Another example : when in binaural mode, the LFO LR phase makes LFO go out of phase with a fixed phase difference. In non binaural mode, it became a LR panning.
  • The PW/Wave control controls Pulewidt only when DDS2 = Puls and the PWM mode is different from manual
    There are lots of this kind of settings that are difficult to memorize, and where the E1 can shine: by giving you the right insights on what your choices can do and what new choices you then get, in the context of how you set the parameters.
