UDO Audio’s Super 8: Filter Self-Oscillation and Sonic Alchemy

UDO Audio’s Super 8 isn’t just another hybrid polysynth—it’s a playground for those who like to push their gear beyond the obvious. In this official video, Hazel Mills demonstrates how the Super 8’s analogue filter can be coaxed into self-oscillation, effectively transforming it into a third oscillator. The walkthrough covers everything from calibration quirks to layering tricks, showing how this technique opens up a world of sound design possibilities. As is typical of UDO Audio’s hands-on ethos, the focus is on practical, playable results rather than menu-diving. Let’s dissect what’s actually on offer when you treat your filter as a
