A look at UDO's flagship synthesizer, Super Gemini.
As the tech spec of this synth is easily found on the internet (and the brilliant Loopop already worked his magic in that regard: youtu.be/AUQnF8wjEac?si=fk0ze3Mnti58NO2B) I thought I'd approach it from the perspective of a musician making music.
This is a sponsored video, which is something I occasionally do when I am personally interested in the product in question, but I would always encourage you to try products for yourself and form your own views.
If you got the Miss Millies / Staple Hill reference, a high five to you my friend.

A note: By request, I've ditched the lofi (but characterful) camera I've been using for a decade and have joined the 21st century with a proper camera and fancy lens. This is the first video I've shot with it and the first in 4k resolution, so there's still lots I've got to learn, but hopefully this looks very nice to viewers on big screens!

[EDIT] I referred to USB MSC mode as machine mode when I meant mass storage class. I also muddled a few other bits of technical information which is what happens when I speak off the cuff without a script. Hopefully you knew what I meant, but apologies anyway.
