Italians Do it Better: IK Multimedia Introduce UNO Synth Pro

Italy’s IK Multimedia have announced new additions to their UNO synth line up with the UNO Synth Pro and the UNO Synth Pro Desktop. The UNO Synth Pro is a 37 key paraphonic synthesizer with three analogue oscillators, a dual filter system, multiple envelops and LFO’s plus a 16-slot mod matrix housed within a rugged metal chassis. The desktop version packs the same sound engine and feature set into smaller desktop unit with a familiar form factor reminiscent of their original UNO synth.

The three-analogue variable waveshaping oscillators promise to offer harmonically complex tones with pulse-width modulation, frequency modulation, ring modulation and white noise generator.

The filter is a dual filter design with a 2-pole multimode filter and a 2/4 pole low-pass filter with self-oscillation. These filters can be used in a series of parallel configurations and it’s possible to invert the phase for multiple filter mode possibilities.

If you’re looking to add a little shoeshine to your sound, the synth features 4 effect slots with an analog overdrive circuit from the original UNO Synth, plus three new custom-designed digital effects: modulation, delay and reverb. You can even route external hardware gear through these effects which is a nice touch.
