Here you can record 20 parameters to the 16 steps. If you want to make more versatile or crazy modulations, you can use the parameter automation function of the sequencer. So an additional stereo headphone output would be here a good update. It always takes a while to get the headphones working. Also, the combo version of the audio output could not completely convince. It’s a pity here that the audio input does not pass the signal into the analog filter. Last but not least, there is an audio input on the right side as well as an audio output, which also works as a headphone out. Not perfect, but understandable due to the limited space in the unit. Next, you have MIDI support over USB and over MIDI In/Out DIN cables.
The latter one is also used for firmware updates and the full integration into a DAW using the free editor for PC/Mac/iOS. If you go into the park, you can use these, but in the studio, I recommend to use the USB port. The battery operation is a nice extra feature that makes the device very portable. In the test, the synth was almost only operated with a USB power supply. On the back, there is a power switch with which you can power the Uno Synth either via 4 classic AA batteries or USB. The plastic knobs are not very high in quality but are smooth and comfortable to use. If this were installed in a 500+ € Synthesizer, the criticism would be of course louder. After long playing, I can say that the touch keyboard is not perfect but also not bad.įor the current asking price, this keyboard is very good and I like it better than this from the KORG Volca series. The first hours were a bit strange because without watching, you can not see what you are pushing. So you don’t find here a classical (white/black) keyboard but a touch surface that is accompanied with 7 parameter knobs.
Unpacking the UNO Synth for the first time clearly shows that it’s designed differently. A complete manual is not in the box but is only available for download. The UNO-Synth is delivered with a multilingual quick guide, four AA batteries, a USB cable as well as two MIDI din cables. The result is a portable Synthesizer with a 100% analog signal flow. With the UNO-Synth they go new but also known ways: analog, inexpensive but also portable.įor the realization, the IK team worked with Davide Mancini from Soundmachines and longterm collaborator Erik Norlander. So far they trusted on software synths products like the various sample libraries for SampleTank or Syntronik. IK Multimedia’s Uno Synth is the company’s first hardware Synthesizer.
