UNO Synth Tutorial 1: Getting Around the Synth

In this video, learn how to get around and how to use UNO Synth - IK's first analog synthesizer. UNO Synth is both powerful and easy to use. Not a synth guru? Learn what each control does and hear what you can do with ease and sound like a seasoned analog synth user. Already familiar with analog synthesizers? Learn how to do familiar tasks with this powerhouse! Watch the video to learn more about how to get around this powerful yet portable and affordable true analog synthesizer.

UNO Synth is the ultimate portable, monophonic, true analog synthesizer and IK Multimedia’s entry in the hardware synthesizer world.

We combined our two decades of experience in software and hardware development with the expertise of Italian boutique synth-maker Soundmachines and IK’s synth guru, Erik Norlander (one of the brains behind acclaimed synths like the Alesis Andromeda). The result is a no-compromise instrument with massive analog sound that’s also easy to use with hands-on programmability and advanced features at an unbeatable price.

Seasoned synth professionals and beginners alike will love UNO Synth’s high-quality, pure analog audio path and its ultra-compact form factor. With both classic and modern synth sounds instantly at hand, UNO will put a smile on the face of synth fans of every musical genre. All this in a synth module that can be easily carried anywhere.

When your product is so good and innovative, the demo ends up being an excellent intro to basic synthesis.

This is going to be awesome. At that price you could get multiple units, run each one through a Zoom MS pedal and have a seriously creative rig for a fraction of a larger unit...

[larshinkley]

Very interesting! Layout reminds me of the blofeld/pulse in a good way. Fat sound!

[davidwinchester]

got mine yesterday and LOVE it . the playing surface is the right choice between slippery smooth and textured for a sure press of a single note. One thing I'd like to know is which scales are the various numbered selections.

[OmarBonifacino]

for me the Synth uno and the One Synth pro x are more than fantastic





[promethiousb]

Got mine coming next cupla days, , , can't wait..to use this with me Zoom ms70..

[christoroppolo]

The interface is awesome. Peace Christo

[BPEMETO]

Thank you! : ) I'll really appreciate it if you can tell me can I sync Volca Drum with IK Multimedia UNO Synth ?

[Klangarchitektur]

Very well explained, very interesting instrument with a nice price! Sounds great!

[simoing]

the synth sound is just awesome!!! How do I reproduce it? Square waves maybe?

[ProckGnosis]

Great job on this. Sounds really decent, and who can argue about the price?

[omarsaad]

Very impresive, yet can we get a video explaining the connectivity rang of the Uno Synth please

[jjrusy]

The UNO can control a polyphonic MIDI device with polyphony, even tho it can only play 1 note at a time. I played a tiny boogie-woogie on a piano patch with the UNO, so it can send at least 5-6 notes poly. Maybe someone from IK could give us the exact specification on how many notes of polyphony the UNO touch-board can send at one time. TIA.

Is there an option to store favourite presents/sequences under those 16 pads as shortcuts?
I am basically worried about quick access to fav. sounds.
By the way I just placed my order. :)

[arnahaud]

Hello, nice review. What about scales ? Does the sequencer allow any possibility to select a scale ?

[stuCameraman]

Ooooo that sounds really Phaaaat and dirty 😍

[KaitavSapreMusic]

Looks really impressive and I am planning to buy it. Excellent synth, IK Multimedia! Have a question though: How much loud can it go (with full batteries or USB power) ? I could not find any speaker spec. in the documentation.

[christhedemocrat]

I love this little synth
The sounds are nice and fat.
So easy to transport, which is a big plus to me as I travel often
It's my go to synthesizer for bass. I tuch it more often than my beringher model d
It's way easy and fun to play. But it ain't a toy
I'd like do promotional videos for IK Multimedia synth. But I can afford to buy the larger versions. IK Multimedia if you send me a synth. I got you frfr 😆

if I am reading the manual correct, the AUDIO IN does NOT give u access to the filter. Can anyone confirm this ?

On my uno drum, the audio in gives u access to the compressor which is not bad at all-electric

[kontrastomusic]

Question: if i use the Uno Synth keyboard to control other gear (connetting gear by midi) does the selection of the scale works? For example, can I play the sound of a Volca Key or other midi synth in pentatonic maj scale using the Uno Synth as midi controller? Sorry for my English :D
