A portable analog synthesizer powerhouse

With an all-analog audio path and dual oscillators with continuously variable waveforms, the IK Multimedia UNO Synth is capable of conjuring up truly massive sounds. Designed with synth maker Soundmachines, the UNO Synth is the result of decades of experience in hardware and software synth design. Shape sounds with its multimode filter, LFO, two envelopes and effects. Compose quickly with its built-in sequencer, complete with a 27-note keyboard and 13 scale options. With all of this packed into a completely portable design and connectivity to the rest of your music production gear, the IK Multimedia UNO Synth is a highly capable synthesizer for modern producers.

Powerful built-in arpeggiator and sequencer

Whether you're in your studio or on the train, the IK Multimedia UNO Synth's built-in sequencer means you can create and capture your musical ideas anywhere. Record in real time with the 27-note keyboard or use step editing to program each of the 16 steps individually. The keyboard defaults to the chromatic scale, and you can select from 13 preset scales for quick musical results. Featuring the 10-mode, four-octave arpeggiator, the UNO Synth is capable of evocative arp sequences, flowing basslines, lively grooves and much more.

Analog signal path with digital convenience

From its dual oscillators (with continuously variable waveforms) to its OTA-based multimode filter, the UNO Synth's analog signal path promises sonic superiority. And its analog strengths are reinforced with digital conveniences like the ability to instantly save and recall presets. It's also self-tuning, so you know your oscillators will never go out of tune with the rest of your instruments.

Complete connectivity for any workflow

The UNO Synth can be powered via USB or four AA batteries, and its portable nature is enhanced with versatile connectivity. We appreciate the MIDI I/O ports, allowing you to sequence other modules or control the UNO Synth from an external sequencer or controller. All parameters — even the MIDI clock — can be controlled via MIDI CC. An audio input lets you chain other devices together, and its high-quality audio output is ready to connect to your mixer or recording device. Best of all, its USB connection is your gateway to the UNO Synth editor/librarian software for Mac and PC, making it easy to create and save your custom sounds.
