I agree with some of your points. The synth doesn’t really seem like it was made with mono in mind, which is a shame because that would make it so much more versatile. I’m unsure if the architecture supports it, but I would love to see some tweaks that make mono recording more accessible on the Super 6. For example, right now you need to go into the Poly modes to get a mono recording, generally, when I’m recording in mono, I want something to respond like a mono synth. Unfortunately, we can’t use the solo/legato modes for this.
Due to this, I normally just lean in to the strengths of the synth and typically only record in stereo.
I use it in mono (remove the right jack output) myself and activate only the summed channel (left input) in my DAW. I get thick, full bass out of it in all modes without using either filter drive. Idk if it’s the phasing causing it or not since I haven’t checked it on any meters, but the bass has alot of movement where I often don’t need external FX. This isn’t what I purchased the synth for, but it does these sounds surprisingly well and made me pause on getting a monosynth for bass for the time being.
How are you guys setting it up?

So you just unplug the right output and call it a day? My usual method is the one described above ^: Use one of the poly modes, LR phase all the way up, and unplug the right output. However, the downside to using this method is losing portamento.
Yeah. I do use the LR slider to mess with the tone in 12-voice mode and that’s about it, but I never use that mode for bass. I use the S6 mono output → Solo/Legato/Unison all the time without ever engaging the Super DDS mode.
