Full Super 6 Spec List:
DDS 1 (OSCILLATOR 1)
FPGA-based Super-wave oscillator core sampled at 50MHz with a centroid oscillator and six sister oscillators that can be dynamically de-phased in the stereo field
Waveshapes: sine, sawtooth, square, triangle, noise and 16 userdownloadable alternative waveforms
Alternative DDS 1 waveform format:
Normalized, single-cycle waveform with 4096 points
16-bit signed integer format samples
Bandlimited at sampling frequency/8 (Nyquist/4).
If 4096 Hz is your sampling frequency, then 512 Hz is the upper limit of your passband.
Binary file with no header data and file extension .ws6
DDS 2 (OSCILLATOR 2)
FPGA-based algorithmic oscillator core sampled at 50MHz
Sub oscillator mode (can be activated when in LFO mode)
Pulse waveform with variable pulse width and PWM
DDS MODULATORS
LFO and envelope modulation of DDS 1 & DDS 2 pitch
Selectable ½ Super or full Super mode for DDS 1
Sister oscillator detune spread control for Super waves
Pulse-width control for pulse waveform
LFO and/or ENV 1 can modulate the sister oscillator
detune spread for the Super waves and the pulse-width for the standard waves
DDS 2 to DDS 1 cross-modulation for deep FM Sounds 01
AUDIO INPUT
Stereo audio input that feeds through the VCA, VCF and effects section
Gate triggering of envelopes and LFO 1 based on audio input level with a variable-gain input stage
LFO 1
Main LFO with low and high-frequency modes, rate adjustable from 0.05 Hz to 20 kHz
Left-right phase control for stereo effects, harnessing the binaural sound engine
Can be free-running or reset on note press
One-shot mode allows LFO 1 to act as an additional envelope
Keyboard tracking mode for high-frequency LFO (useful for FM sounds)
LFO 1 can be mapped through the DDS 1 or DDS 2 audio path in either fixed or tracking high-frequency modes for use as a drone or a third oscillator
Can be synchronized with the sequencer and arpeggiator as well as an external clock
MIXER
Adjusts the mix-level of DDS 1 and DDS 2 audio signals
When in X-Fade mode, adjusts split point on the keyboard of crossfaded DDS 1 and DDS 2 (or audio input) signals
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED FILTER
The SSI2144 reprises the SSM2044 of legacy chipmaker Solid State Micro Technology, which many believe to be the best-sounding analog synthesis filter IC ever produced. Based on Dave Rossum’s patented classic improved ladder topology, the SSI2144 allows rich tonal characteristics that showcase the very best attributes of subtractive synthesis.
Analogue 4-pole low pass self-resonant filter
Two levels of overdrive
High pass filter with fixed frequency or linked to low pass filter for a bandpass response
Selectable keyboard tracking modes with filter autotune for accurate keyboard tracking
Modulation by ENV 1 and/or ENV 2, LFO 1 and DDS 2
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIER
Analogue VCA with selectable fixed or variable envelope (ENV 2) modulation
LFO 1 modulation
Dynamics control for selectable velocity sensitivity
ENV 1
Invertible Hold-Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release, mappable through modulation matrix
Looping mode with selectable keyboard tracking for use as an LFO or FM source
Voice modes: Poly 1, Poly 2, Solo, Legato, variable size and type Unison
LFO 2 with rate and delay controls, selectable triggered and always-on modes
Variable portamento
Expression pedal and sustain pedal inputs
Playable spring-lever keyboard octave selector
MPE MIDI compliance with response to note on and off velocity
Polyphonic aftertouch, polyphonic pitch bend and polyphonic expression
MODULATION MATRIX
Intuitive modulation matrix with pre-defined destinations and also mapping to a wide range of front panel controls
LEDs give clear feedback on mappings and modulation depths
20x audio-rate modulation computation
ARPEGGIATOR/SEQUENCER
MIDI-syncable, multi-mode arpeggiator with smart-hold
MIDI-syncable 64-step sequencer with programmable note, rest, slide, accent and length tracks
LFO 1 and delay controls can be locked to the arpeggiator/sequencer clock
16 rewritable memory locations for storing sequences
EFFECTS
Dual-mode stereo chorus using 24-bit 192 kHz processing
Syncable and modulatable stereo delay with 24-bit 192 kHz processing
PERFORMANCE
128 rewriteable patch memories with 64 factory patches and 64 empty slots for user patches
Superior build quality, easy access buttons, sliders, knobs and a menu-free interface
IO CONNECTIONS
MIDI in, out and thru on DIN connectors
USB IO for MIDI and patch, sequence and waveform management
Audio input for stereo ¼” jack
Main left and right outputs for unbalanced ¼” jacks
High-quality stereo headphone power amplifier

Review by David T. on 7 Apr 2025review stating Great choice
I was tired of lifting heavy speakers out of my house, then into my car, then out of my car, into the venue and up onto stands and then having to run leads to everything, all before a performance. My son recommended the JBL eon mk2, as he had hired the same for his gigging. I can be set up in less than 10 minutes and pull down in the same time. I ...Read MoreRead more about I was tired of lifting heavy speakers
run two iPads wirelessly, so everything is easy to transport, sounds great and looks very cool. Very pleased with every aspect of the rig. Read LessRead less about I was tired of lifting heavy speakers
Review by Robert P. on 6 Apr 2025review stating SSL E Dyn
Loving the SSL E Dyn. Apparently this was on every channel during sessions with the console. I can see why. Great way to get a clean punchy signal into your DAW. Love the extender circuit as well, it does a great job of keeping any unwanted background noise out of your recording.
