A Portable Analog Synth Powerhouse

With an all-analog audio path and dual oscillators with continuously variable waveshapes, the IK Multimedia Uno Synth is capable of conjuring truly massive sounds. Designed with boutique 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 on the fly with its built-in sequencer, complete with a 27-note keyboard and 13 scale options. With all this packed into a completely portable design, and with connectivity for the rest of your music-making gear, the IK Multimedia Uno Synth is a highly capable synth for modern producers.

Powerful arpeggiator and sequencer onboard

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

Analog signal path with digital convenience

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

Complete connectivity for any workflow

The Uno Synth can be powered via USB or with four AA batteries, and its portable nature is enhanced with versatile connectivity. Electronic musicians at Sweetwater 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 MIDI clock — can be controlled via MIDI CC. An audio input allows for daisy-chaining other devices, 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.

Shockingly impressive

I've been looking at this and the Uno Drum for a good while now and finally, Wednesday before Thanksgiving I couldn't ignore the ridiculously low price. I got the Uno Synth today, a day earlier than expected. On a Sunday with no weekend fee. Now I have a large studio with about 48 synthesizers and I was blown away by how easy this thing is to operate. This is definitely going to get a lot of use. Mainly bass lines. Hopefully I'll be able to order the Uno Drum tomorrow. As usual, I can't say enough about how great Sweetwater is. They are always on point.

Best/cheapest analog synth?

This is an amazingly capable analog synth. I gave it 5 stars for 2 reasons. 1) The price. If you need something analog in your setup or it's your first synth, this is a no-brainer at $) The capabilities that are unlocked with the Uno Synth app. I use the app on the iPad and there are a LOT more capabilities available that are not available on the front panel.
Rated 5/5

Great Synth!

The is a great monophonic synthesizer. The 2-pole filter gives this a sound different from the more typical M**g ladder type filter. The downloadable software is well written and enables hundreds of more patches. But just tweaking it while playing or sequencing is so fun! Great sounds!
Rated 5/5

IK Multimedia Uno Synth

This synth is a wonderful little box. It's layout makes it very easy to use and program. It has great features and it sounds good. It's definitely worth the admission price. And of course buying from Sweetwater is always a good deal.
Rated 5/5

My first Synth machine

This little guy is fantastic for noobs like me. The main reason i got it is because although i love the aesthetics of my Yamaha SHS 10 keytar, the FM sounds are goofy. So i got this portable little badboy to give my keytar some oomph and boy does it deliver. Shockingly versatile, easy to learn (my 7 year old dived right in) and super affordable. My only wish is that they put strap buttons on it so i can sling it around my shoulder alongside said Keytar.
