Super 8

Polysynth Reimagined

Retro Inspiration for Modern Tracks

Add the classic warm, rich tones of vintage synths to your contemporary productions. Super 8 gives you a fun, easy way to bring the past into your present. Dial in presets ranging from basses and leads to pads and special effects. Tweak your tones all you want with a simple, modern interface that always keeps you in the instrument’s sweet spot.

Warm Oscillators: Dual oscillators, each equipped with four independent waveforms, let you generate a wide array of warm, analog tones.

Tweakability: Reach for a dial instead of a manual. Experimentation is as easy as moving faders and turning knobs.

Flexible Modulation: Sprinkle in some pitch modulation, then choose from multiple waveforms for each of the two additional modulators to morph your sound.

Mod Control: Bring SUPER 8 to life with real-time control of oscillators, filters, and more from your MIDI device.

Classic Effects: Apply a classic synth stereo chorus, flange, or delay, then dial in some reverb to find the perfect place for your synth in the mix.

Browser: Find the sounds you need, save your own presets, and choose favorites.

Features

• Designed for Tweaking 
  • Super 8 makes it easy to tweak your sound through a clean, next-generation interface. Use simple sliders to blend up to four waveforms for each of the two oscillators. Mix the oscillators, sync them, and fold in FM oscillation for a digital edge. Apply low-pass, band-pass, or high-pass filtering, then use ASDR sliders to make quick changes to filter and amplifier envelopes.
  • Add motion to your patches by diving into the interface’s modulation section. Choose one or more mod waveforms, then dial in speed and phase. For maximum creative flexibility, use mod routing to map almost any source to any destination.
• Extensive Presets
  • Need something fast? Get started right away with any of the 550+ presets – from rich analog strings and ethereal pads to deep basses, biting leads, electronic percussion, and unusual effects. Patches were inspired by legendary synths from Roland, Sequential Circuits, and others. But Super 8 has a character all its own. Modern presets give you combinations of oscillators, filters, and modulation settings that wouldn’t have been possible on original hardware.
• Built to be Played
  • Explore the full range of Super 8’s creative possibilities with your MIDI controller. Drive the Super 8 pitch wheel, mod wheel, and touch strip controls from your hardware to produce expressive leads, shifting soundscapes, and evolving textures. You can set parameters directly from the interface’s front page – or take advantage of automatic parameter mapping using a KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard. With Super 8’s flexible mod routing, you can adjust pitch, modulation, filtering, keytracking, and more – all in real-time.
