Supercritical Synthesizers has released the second firmware update for the Redshift 6.
Firmware Update 1.2 brings Clock, LFO clock sync, NRPN support for parameter control, Mod Lock, and also 65 new presets.
Here’s what’s new in Redshift 6 Firmware Update 1.2:
- Added
- Clock that can be synced via MIDI

- Keyboard octave switching: Up/Down on Key page, or Shift + Up/Down anywhere

- Changed
- New parameter adjustment logic
- Default is as previously, except adjustment is more responsive (much smaller “deadzone” when starting to move a knob)

- Minor visual tweaks and fixes
- Fixed
- Fixed all known bugs

What about the fx’s? Its looked the sold a unfinished product.
The sound demos are impressive. I do wonder about the toughness of the buttons along the bottom half, because it come across like a player’s synth. You’ll want to do the button dance a lot. Its like a mega Xmas gift from a granny who *really* likes you. It hovers around $1300, which seems reasonable for a 6-voice synth in this class. It has muscle.
Feels like untrained dude on the gym snorting to much analogus steroids while cant lift 6kg or bass!Granny didnt like that.
Doesn’t matter. The old bat is half deaf anyway.
I’m happy to be all In The Box now. That makes it funny when I warm up to synths like this. I once had a big stack, with all of the routing issues & mixer hassles. Now, its easy to get three or four like this to behave like a band and a juicy one, too. Science!
