Fat analog sound with digital flexibility
IK Multimedia nailed it with their UNO Synth analog synthesizer, and now they've done it again with the UNO Drum. This killer-sounding drum machine contains six analog voices, 54 SampleTank-derived PCM samples, and a bevy of ear-pleasing effects. The UNO Drum is tailor-made for performance, thanks to 12 touch-sensitive pads, four dynamic encoders, and a built-in 64-step sequencer. Add to that stutter, shuffle, and scrolling effects, and you're guaranteed a wild and fun ride. You also get USB, MIDI, and audio passthrough for easy gear integration. And can you believe that the UNO Drum is powered by buses? IK Multimedia's UNO Drum is a must-have for analog synth enthusiasts.
Full of high quality drum sounds
The most important element of any serious drum machine is the quality of its sounds, and the UNO Drum is packed with great sounds. Create punchy, punchy sounds with six true analog voices—kick, snare, clap, and hi-hat—designed by the analog gurus at Soundmachines. You also get 54 PCM samples — toms, rims, ride, and cowbell — derived from IK's popular SampleTank 4. Best of all, you can create massive rhythms by layering analog and PCM sounds together with 11-voice polyphony. And if you like tinkering, you'll appreciate UNO Drum's impressive array of sound-shaping tools, including tuning, snapping, and decay for each sound, and global triggering and compression effects.
Tailored for performance
Playing with the IK UNO Drum is easy and fun. Play rhythms on 12 touch-sensitive pads with dual velocity zones. Spice things up with stutter, random, and scrolling effects. Record by step or in real time using the built-in 64-step sequencer with eight parameter automations per step. This feature-packed drum machine is fully programmable, allowing you to save and recall 100 patterns and 100 drum kits. Additionally, Song mode chains up to 64 patterns in any order. Here we create all kinds of cool songs and sequences using UNO Drum — it's addictive!
