UNO Synth Portable Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

UNO SYNTH

Overview

You don't have to go big to sound huge

Analog/PCM drum machine. Easily portable. Ultra-portable.

UNO Synth is portable, monophonic, true analog synthesizer designed for everyone.

IK combined two decades of experience in software & hardware development with the expertise of synth-maker Soundmachines and synth guru Erik Norlander to create an instrument with massive analog sound, hands-on programmability, and advanced features at an unbeatable price. UNO Synth packs a powerful synthesis engine with full analog audio path, 100 presets, sequencer, arpeggiator and much more.
