IK Multimedia UNO Synth - Portable monophonic analog synthesizer with sequencer and arpeggiator

UNO Synth is IK Multimedia ’s monophonic analog synthesizer built to sound big anywhere. Featuring a 100% analog audio path — 2 independent VCOs with continuous shapes (Triangle, Saw, and Pulse with PWM ), Noise , a 2-pole resonant multi-mode VCF with Drive and VCA — it delivers rock-solid basses, expressive leads, and sequencing with classic or modern character. It features a 27-note multi-touch keyboard with 13 scales , a 10-mode arpeggiator , and a 16-step sequencer with real-time and step recording, including per-step parameter automation . Plus, it comes with 100 ready-to-play presets (80 rewritable) and instant performance effects (Sync-able Delay, Dive, Scoop, Vibrato, Wah, and Tremolo) to bring your phrases to life in an instant. Its ultra-compact size and 4 AA battery or USB power supply let you produce anywhere, all with built-in microphones. And if you want to go deeper, the UNO Synth Editor (Mac/Windows/iOS) unlocks full control—including full ADSR for filter and amplitude—and unlimited preset management. Designed and manufactured in Italy.

Main features

• True analog path : 2 VCOs with continuous shapes (triangle, sawtooth, and pulse with PWM ) + noise generator; 2-pole resonant multimode filter (LPF/HPF/BPF) with Drive ; dedicated VCA .
• Versatile Modulation : 1 LFO with 7 shapes (Sine, Triangle, Square, Up/Down Tooth, Random and S&H ) assignable to Pitch , Filter , Amp , PWM and Waveshape .
• Envelopes : 2 EG (filter = AD , amplitude = AR ); Full ADSR available via MIDI/Editor.
• Instant performance : 27-note multi-touch keyboard with 13 scales , 10-mode arpeggiator (4 octave range) and 5 performance FX (Dive, Scoop, Vibrato, Wah, Tremolo).
• 16-step sequencer : real-time and step recording, automation of up to 20 parameters per step , Fwd/Back/Fwd&Back directions and selectable length.
• Library : 100 presets (20 non-rewritable factory + 80 user).
• Connectivity : Audio IN/OUT 3.5 mm (sum to mono), MIDI IN/OUT (2.5 mm minijack with DIN adapters included) and USB (MIDI/power).
• Portable power supply : 4 × AA batteries or USB (optional UNO power bank).
• Official editor (Mac/Windows/iOS) for deep editing, full ADSR , preset management, and remote control.
• Ultra-compact and lightweight : 25.6 × 15 × 5 cm ; 400 g (without batteries).

Product benefits

• Immediate analog sound : punchy bass and leads thanks to the built-in multimode filter and Drive .
• Creativity without menus : More than 40 shortcut controls and a keyboard with scales to play without fear of “missing notes.”
• Ideas that travel with you : battery or USB powered and fit in any backpack.
• Motion Sequences : Automate parameters per step and add Delay / performance FX for organic textures.

Use cases

• Electronic production on a laptop: analog bass and melody lines with synchronized arpeggiator.
• Hybrid Live : Integrate MIDI and audio into compact chains; connect a drum machine via the audio input for a minimalist setup.
• Sound Design : Explore PWM , complex shape modulation, and Filter Drive for aggressive or warm sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it polyphonic? No, it's monophonic (1 voice) with two VCOs that can be tuned in intervals/octaves for wider textures.
• Does it process external audio? It has an audio input (sum to mono) to connect external sources to the UNO's output, simplifying setup.
• Do I need the editor to edit ADSR? The panel offers AD/AR; the editor and MIDI CC enable full ADSR for filter and amplitude.
