IK MULTIMEDIA / UNO Synth Pro X

The UNO Synth Pro X is a model that allows you to directly access over 30 functions by installing a large number of control knobs in a compact housing. In addition, it is equipped with new functions such as the Baseline Mode, which is based on the classic baseline machines of yesteryear.

■Main features of UNO Synth Pro X
・3 wave morphing analog oscillators
At the heart of UNO Synth PRO X are three analog oscillators that can morph between different waveforms such as triangle, sawtooth and pulse waves. Of course, the pulse waveform also allows you to adjust the pulse width. You can combine SYNC, which hard-syncs oscillators 2 and 3 to oscillator 1, FM, which modulates the frequency of oscillators 2 and 3 with oscillator 1, and RING, which ring-modulates oscillator 2 with oscillator 1 and
, you can enjoy the sounds that only a genuine analog synthesizer can produce, from playing standard sounds such as bass, lead and arpeggio, to sound design that can be used as a theme with a strong presence even with just one note. Naturally, it also has a noise generator, so you can create sandstorm sounds and percussive sounds.

・Four voice modes, including a new bassline mode
In addition to the monophonic, legato and polyphonic modes that allow you to play three chords, UNO Synth PRO X now also has a bassline mode that recreates the behavior of famous bassline machines. When this bassline mode is selected, the cutoff frequency, which is normally adjustable up to 20 kHz, is limited to around 5 kHz, allowing you to enjoy operating the filter with a focus on the bass sound. In addition, the accent amount and the decay time of the accent envelope can be adjusted.

・3 ADSR envelopes
UNO Synth PRO X is equipped with three ADSR envelopes: one for the filter, one for the amplitude, and one for the modulation matrix. Each envelope can be set to LOOP mode, which loops between the attack and decay, or RETRIG mode, which forces the envelope to be retriggered according to the voice mode (mono/legato, etc.).

・Two filters that can be connected in series or parallel
UNO Synth PRO X is equipped with a 2-pole OTA multimode filter and a 2/4-pole low-pass filter using the SSI chip designed by Dave Blossom, which was the talk of the town when it was adopted in the Prophet 5 rev.4. The two filters can be connected in series or parallel, and the SSI filter can also self-oscillate. Create textures that are unique to analog synthesizers, and immerse yourself in the sound of the moment while manipulating the tone with the knobs.

・Two freely assignable LFOs
UNO Synth PRO X is equipped with two LFOs that can be set to sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, random, sample & hold, or noise. The rate can be synchronized to the sequencer, and you can also adjust whether or not to use retriggering, as well as the fade time and curve. fade time/curve can also be adjusted. By making full use of the 16-slot modulation matrix, which allows you to specify any parameter, such as LFO, envelope, and filter, as a source/destination, you can create complexly changing textures.

・An interface that lets you immerse yourself in the joy of sound creation
UNO Synth PRO X is equipped with a wealth of buttons, including 23 knobs and an octave-shiftable keyboard, giving you direct access to over 30 functions and allowing you to control them freely. In addition to the AUDIO IN, which allows you to choose between a pass-through connection before the filter/effect or a final output stage, it is also equipped with USB, MIDI, and CV/GATE input/output terminals, so you can add UNO Synth PRO X to your setup, such as a laptop computer, MIDI keyboard, or Eurorack modular, and expand your system.

・Equipped with 3 types of effects and overdrive
In addition to the analog overdrive, UNO Synth PRO X is equipped with 3 slots that can be used for 10 types of studio effects, including 2 types of modulation (vintage chorus/univibe), 5 types of delay, and hall/plate/shimmer reverb. All effects except overdrive are send/return connections, so you can achieve a 100% analog signal path by bypassing them.

・Sequencer and arpeggiator with parameter automation support
UNO Synth PRO X also features a 64-step polyphonic sequencer. In addition to real-time recording and step input of pitch information, it is also possible to record and automate the movement of up to 48 parameters, including the movement of the unit's knobs and CV/GATE information assigned in the modulation matrix. For real-time performance, the arpeggiator can be selected from 10 modes, including up, down, and random. If you press the REC+PLAY button while the arpeggiator is playing, you can also record in real time using the sequencer.

・256 presets to get you started with sound creation
UNO Synth PRO X comes with 256 presets. Each preset includes a sequence that makes full use of tone and parameter automation. You can select a preset, operate the knobs, and save your favorite tone and sequence as a user preset. Enjoy yourself, explore, and record your creativity.

・Comes with the UNO Synth PRO X Editor, which you can use to operate the unit on a large screen
Using the included UNO Synth PRO X Editor, you can perform detailed editing on a large screen on your Mac/Windows computer. The 16-slot modulation matrix is also displayed in a list, and you can select each source and destination with a single click from the list menu. UNO Syn In the LIBRARIAN screen of the UNO Synth PRO X Editor, a list of your own presets is displayed in a category folder, and a list of presets in the UNO Synth PRO X itself is displayed side by side, so you can select the presets you want to send to the UNO Synth PRO X for your next live performance or other project. In addition, the UNO Synth PRO X Editor is available as a plug-in version as well as a standalone version, so you can also record automation using MIDI CC in the tracks of your DAW.
