StarskyCarr Hits the Streets with UDO Super 8+

StarskyCarr kicks off the video by reminding us of the sexiness that is the UDO Super 8. But let’s not get caught up in its stunning looks; it’s all about the sound this time. With an enticing 20 voices at its disposal, the Super 8 promises to sound as lush as it looks. Right off the bat, Starsky sets the stage for what’s to come: an upgrade journey taking you from 16 voices straight to a whopping 20, just like its fancier sibling, the Super Gemini. No soldering irons needed here, folks, just some good old-fashioned plug-and-play action.

Alright, here’s where StarskyCarr rolls out his toolbox and gives us a step-by-step on cracking this baby open. First things first, get those screws out from the back, front, and sides—leave one side screw in as a hinge, though. Nobody wants their precious gear flapping around like a loose hubcap, right? Then, it’s time to pop in the new voice boards, reminiscent of sliding RAM into your old-school PC. Starsky advises tightening those hinge screws just to keep things steady. No one wants their Super 8 looking like it went through a streetside brawl.

Now, if you’re wondering whether you need to suit up like you’re building a rocket, fear not. Starsky assures us it’s as easy as tossing salad at a family BBQ. Simply locate slots five and 10, slot those cards in, and boom, you’re halfway to synth heaven. Even without an anti-static wristband, our brave guide ventures forth, giving us that homegrown confidence we all need. Pro-tip: Keeping your screws sorted? That’s a little like separating your reds from your whites on laundry day.

But wait, there’s more! You gotta make sure everything aligns like planets during a cosmic event. Starsky drops in the cards smoothly, almost like he’s been doing this in his sleep. And hey, a little tightening goes a long way to ensure your street cred in the synth world. Fasten those boards, check your work twice, and let’s move onto some firmware action next.

Now that your firmware’s working its magic, it’s time to calibrate those voices. Starsky explains the process with the ease of a chef instructing a rookie on making scrambled eggs perfect. Hold those buttons, wait for some vibes, and let the filters calibrate themselves. This phase is essential for the synth to acknowledge its newfound voice power, and Starsky walks us through it like a boss. It’s all about finesse and getting everything to sing in harmony.

In binaural mode, the Super 8+ marvels with 10 full voices on each side – that’s 20 voices powerfully balanced between left and right. It’s like having the toughest DJ rig set up on both sides of your room. Starsky’s excitement is infectious as he demonstrates the sonic prowess. His knack for breaking down the steps while keeping things light is refreshing. By the time he finishes, you’re more than tempted to get in on this action yourself.

Starsky’s tutorial doesn’t just feed you instructions; it serves them up with extra seasoning. From turning off and on, to gently easing the new calibrations into your Super 8 life, it’s clear that this process, like a good street performance, needs to be appreciated in its entirety. Once you hear those voices singing, any hesitations melt away. Welcome to the upgraded world of Super 8!
