I’ve tried two Super Gemini units now and notice that the return on the bender spring is quite slow compared to the one on the Super 6. Is this normal @udo-audio ?

I find the one on my Super 6 incredibly slow and was told it’s normal. I actually hardly ever touch that whole section, except to make sure that LFO2 is free-running and to turn off aftertouch control of pitch. A dream version of the Super 6 would have a bender as springy as a Jupiter 6 and maybe a button for modulation too. I think I must be getting arthritis or something because I struggle to push my bender forward enough to control modulation so end up not using it. Let’s just say I was sad to see this controller pass forward to the Gemini.
My Gemini definitely has more springiness than my super 6 did, so I’m happy 
Now that you mention it, my bender (which I rarely use) is quite sluggish. Perhaps 30-50% slower than the S6. Maybe that’s why i’m not using it.
Hi, the benders do offer quite a lot of resistance. For me, I quite like the firmness of it, and the response generally. I know it’s not for everyone. I’ve reengineered a bender variant that has a very light feel. These will soon be available from our shop for customer replacement. I thought this would be a nice thing to add l, that lets people really make the instrument their own. We will be similarly offering knob cap sets for Gemini, for those who don’t like the orange, which I personally like a lot.. it’s hard to get it right!

Ooh that’s good news, will definitely buy the new bender unit. I’m so used to the Roland type on my Jupiter X. Hey George, any chance you could implement adjustability into it? That would be awesome. What sort of price would we expect to pay? Thank you in advance.
