UDO Audio’s Super 8: Patchcraft and Performance with Hazel Mills

In this analytical dive, we follow Hazel Mills as she constructs evocative patches on the UDO Audio Super 8, revealing the instrument’s hybrid character and hands-on modulation appeal. UDO Audio, known for their lush, FPGA-driven analog-hybrid synths, provides the canvas for Mills’ performance video ‘SIGIL.’ The video is less about preset surfing and more about building sounds from the ground up—oscillator by oscillator, envelope by envelope—showcasing the Super 8’s strengths in rhythmic, percussive, and sustained textures. For those interested in how a synth’s architecture shapes real-world patches, this is a revealing look at both the instrument and the artist’s process.

UDO Audio’s Super 6: Crafting a Complete Drum Kit from Scratch

UDO Audio, the Bristol-based synth wizards, are known for their lush, hands-on polysynths, but in this video, they take the Super 6 into unexpected percussive territory. Hazel Mills demonstrates how to coax a full mini drum kit—kick, snare, hats, and toms—entirely from the Super 6’s own synthesis engine. Through clever envelope shaping, pitch modulation, and judicious use of noise, the Super 6 transforms from a polyphonic powerhouse into a surprisingly capable drum machine. If you’ve ever wondered how far a synth can be pushed into drum duties, this session is a patcher’s delight.

UDO Audio’s Super 6: Unlocking LFO 1’s Secret Modulation Arsenal

UDO Audio’s Super 6 is already known for its lush, hybrid sound—but in this official walkthrough, Hazel reveals a lesser-known LFO 1 feature that injects unpredictability and depth into your patches. By tapping into a hidden bank of alternative waveforms, users can push modulation far beyond the standard fare, opening up new textural and rhythmic possibilities. The video methodically demonstrates how these irregular LFO shapes can transform filter sweeps, VCA dynamics, and more, while also exploring phase, delay, and one-shot tricks. For anyone interested in the true architectural power of the Super 6, this is a must-watch deep dive into
