UNO Synth Pro - Sonic LAB Review

video by sonicstate

"IK Multimedia’s second hardware synth builds on the initial synth engine introduced in the Uno Synth, which was surprisingly beefy sonically if not physically.

Uno Synth Pro expands this original concept and adds :a more substantial build quality in both the desktop and keyboard versions, three morphing oscillators (playable as 3 note paraphonic), two filters - the original OTA filter and a new SSI resonant filter with design input from the legendary Dave Rossum, we also get an analogue post filter drive and three DSP send effects.

16 slot mod matrix, 64 step sequencer with song mode, CV and GATE io top of the features."

February Filter Sweep YouTube Protest & a Call to any YouTube / Google Employees

Youtube claimed copyright on a synth filter sweep video by ranzee

"I can't believe we are now getting copyright claims just for performing tests on synths! Yep - all I did was a filter sweep - and BAM! Copyright Claim police came on in and took my video away (partially) from the world. This is ludicrous!"

This one was sent my way via supporting member, Synth Addict.

For those not aware, YouTube has algorithms that scan audio in videos for copyright infringement. If something is found in violation, the video is automatically unpublished. The problem? Apparently certain filter sweeps are triggering take downs. This is becoming a problem for synth demos (per ranzee above, and previously mentioned here for example). I am curious what sample is being used for the comparison. Rush's Tom Sawyer? :) Actually, Synth Addict mentioned it being a Chemical Brothers track, which does sound familiar. Anyway, if anyone out there reading this has any connections, maybe you can reach out to someone that can fix this?

For the rest of us, not sure how the following will help, but if anything it will bring some attention to the problem amongst the synth community.

via Synth Addict:

"What users can do:

Post a video on YouTube of yourself demonstrating a filter sweep on a synth or synths of your choice and tag it #FFS

Attached image created by Andrew Brooks on FB [the image directly above, in this post], as a joint effort with the chat community of Pro Synth Network, GEO Synths, and SonicState.

IK Multimedia to Inroduce Uno Synth Pro Desktop Analog Synthesizer

Update: Official demos here

It looks like a "Pro" version of the UNO Synth is coming. Priced at $649.99. Tons of pics below. Note the different side panels. Anyone ID the green faced eurorack modular?

Update: looks like there are two versions. One with touch keys and mod "strips", and one with standard keys and mod wheels.

Details:

UNO Synth Pro Desktop offers next-generation analog for everyone, with a dual-filter, 3-oscillator paraphonic design, 256 presets, a 64-step sequencer, and expanded CV/Gate and audio connections, all packed into a compact desktop unit.

A Wealth of Sounds
Create nearly any analog synth sound with three analog oscillators with continuously variable waveshape, pulse-width modulation, sync, oscillator FM and ring modulation, plus a white noise generator.

Pro Level, Dual-Filter Design
Both the original UNO 2-pole OTA multimode filter plus a SSI 2/4-pole LP filter with self-oscillation can be used in series or parallel with invertible phase for 24 different filter modes.

Massive Flexibility
Two full ADSR envelopes, for both filter and amplitude, plus two LFOs to create classic synth vibrato, wah and tremolo. A 16-slot modulation matrix for sophisticated modulation schemes, with both internal and external sources, including MIDI controllers.

Deep Onboard Effects
Four effect blocks: an analog overdrive circuit, plus 12 digital effects: modulation, delay and reverb. External signals can also be routed through these effects, with pre-effects filtering.

Powerful Presets and More
256 user-editable presets, a 64-step sequencer and a 10-mode arpeggiator. Plus, "chord mode" takes advantage of UNO Synth Pro's paraphonic design.

Advanced Connectivity
Two balanced stereo outputs plus headphone out. USB, MIDI I/O and assignable CV/Gate connections lets UNO Synth Pro interact with modular gear. An audio input allows access to the filter and FX section in addition to pass-through for daisy-chaining multiple units.

Features:
- Dual-filter paraphonic analog desktop synthesizer
- 3 discrete wave-morphing oscillators with PWN, synch, FM and ring mod
- Dual-state variable filters with 24 modes
- 256-user editable presets and 64-step sequencer with 80+ parameters
- USB / MIDI / CV / GATE I/O and audio input

KORG VOLCA BASS vs. VOLCA NUBASS // COMPARISON // + UNO Drum

Published on Nov 20, 2019 LESINDES

"KORG VOLCA BASS and KORG VOLCA NUBASS -- so how do they compare?

This video is dedicated to the 2 machines. They're playing the same pattern -- due to the higher bass note and the sub and its massive tube distorsion NUBASS is a bit more assertive and therefore the level of BASS is lifted for 1 dB.

In order to make it more realistic I had it accompanied by fabulous ik multimedia UNO DRUM."
