What sounds can and can’t this synth make. All i get is pads. Is it possible to make plucky sounds on it? Like snappy filtered trancy sounds?
What am i missing… maybe not the synth for it?

I will say, I find it trickier on pluck sounds as well. I normally use ENV 2 as the amp envelope and the release can be tough to get right. It sounds quite short right up to about 35 - 50%, and then swells like crazy after a certain point. I love the sound of the crazy release on pads/strings, but not on anything more percussive.
My technique is normally to dial in the release around 35 - 50%, depending on the sound.
What are other people’s techniques on more snappy/percussive sounds? Would love to hear.

Thanks for this but i know adsr ofcourse. Or is there something else i need to see on that clip?
Every synth has its strengths and weaknesses, I feel that although UDO can do bass / plucky sounds they are lacking in bite to me, something missing when compared to what I can so easily get out of my Pulse2 (pure analog synth with aggressive filters) but when it comes to pads , drones and ambient type sounds nothing beats the S6

Some options you can try:
- Use modulation source ENV1 to modulate ENV1-D by -100% amount and set ENV1 to a plucky curve.
- Set VCF-ENV switch to 1+2 then set ENV1 and ENV2 to a plucky curve.

Most of this album was done jointly on a Super 6 and Jupiter 6. I find the soup great for plucky sounds, bass and the whole range really, but obviously ‘good sounds’ will always be a matter of personal taste. If there’s anything here you think sounds OK I’m happy to send you my current bank of patches. The only proviso is that I don’t often save stuff and most of the sounds will have been done in Manual mode…
You can listen online but if anyone wants a download code just drop me a pm, that way I don’t feel like I’m using the forum for my own evil gain.
