A maxed-out version of the classic Super 6 synthesizer. The Super 6 ST49 comes with the semi-weighted ST49 polyphonic aftertouch keyboard pre-installed. Polyphonic aftertouch gifts the player with the ability to apply different aftertouch pressures on individual notes as opposed to a single value for all held notes, adding a new expressive dimension to the playing experience.
In Binaural mode, the Super 6 features a true stereo signal path in which the instrument’s twelve voices are twinned to form six stereo ‘super’ voices. Consequently, the left and right channels — and each of the player’s ears — are assigned their own complete synthesizer voice. Parameters for both channels of each super voice may be independently controlled, facilitating the player to create rich and unique stereo images. The effect ranges from subtle to extreme stereo movement, creating an enhanced sense of spatial positioning relative to “conventional” monaural signal-chains panned at their output.
Massive modulation without menus
Enormous flexibility at the player's fingertips through simple controls and a carefully designed front-panel. Going deeper, there is an intuitive and immediate modulation system based around the performance area switches. For those who want to go further, every panel control can be targeted for modulation, all simultaneously and all with unique amounts.
Analog voice architecture
The Super 6’s main filter is an analog 4-pole, 24 dB per octave, resonant low-pass filter using a classic polysynth filter design from Sound Semiconductor (SSI).
It is preceded in the signal chain by a voltage controlled high-pass filter that can either be off, fixed, or can also track the low-pass filter cutoff frequency for band-pass operation. The Super 6 also contains an analog amplifier section that can further be used to shape the sound by adjusting and modulating the amplitude or loudness over time.
The Super 6 ST49 is a levelled-up version of Super 6 that includes the ST49 Polyphonic Aftertouch Keyboard pre-installed.
What is Polyphonic Aftertouch?
Polyphonic aftertouch allows you to apply different aftertouch pressures on individual notes as opposed to a single value for all held notes. This opens up a new world of expression, allowing the player to accentuate and flourish individual parts of a held chord or arpeggiated sound.
