Ik Multimedia IK UNO Synth

The UNO Synth is IK Multimedia's portable, true analog monophonic synthesizer designed to put rich, powerful sound in the hands of everyone-from synth novices to seasoned producers. Co-created with boutique Italian synth-maker Soundmachines and synth legend Erik Norlander, this compact instrument delivers massive tone in a lightweight, ultra-portable design. Built with a pure analog audio path featuring dual VCOs, a noise generator, resonant multimode VCF, and VCA, UNO Synth excels in everything from deep bass and cutting leads to arps, drones, and textural effects. Its custom overdrive and delay effects add warmth and depth, while its self-tuning circuit ensures consistent performance anywhere you go.

UNO Synth offers instant inspiration with 100 ready-to-play presets and intuitive real-time control via 40 top-panel knobs and a touch-sensitive 27-note keyboard. The sequencer lets you program up to 20 parameters per step, while a built-in arpeggiator, performance effects, and scale-based play modes make it easy to create complex musical phrases-even without keyboard skills. Designed for total flexibility, UNO Synth integrates seamlessly into any live or studio setup via USB and MIDI, with audio input for daisy-chaining gear without a mixer. Whether powered by USB or AA batteries, this Italian-made synth is ready to travel, making it the perfect analog companion for music creation on the move.
