ChazKeys Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Here is a bit more info: https://www.gearnews.com/leak-ik-multimedia-poised-to-release-uno-synth-pro-paraphonic-synthesizer/ An interesting concept - 2 versions: a full size keyboard version and a desktop version.

Jonathan Hughes Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I saw it yesterday, and they had the price wrong (they had the price for the full-size unit shown), so there were probably some other details they had wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So what is it? :-) I remember being vaguely interested in the original, and wondering: "if only they did this and that...", so maybe they did "this and that"? UPDATE: Nevermind; GS has a post that has pictures and data, and it doesn't exactly look like a game-changer.

Bif_ Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Some more info: https://www.gearnews.com/ik-multimedia-announce-uno-synth-pro-and-uno-synth-pro-desktop/ Just watched the video on the linked page...... The dude in the video was 'playing' the knobs, never touched the keys. How "exciting".

marino Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The dude in the video was 'playing' the knobs, never touched the keys. How "exciting". Try the IK site. Some decent playing on the *second* video on this page: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/unosynthpro/ Also, the audio examples sound good to my ears. (if you can find the "Play" button, which is a bit hidden in the middle of the page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Also, I had a quick look at the specs and prices. Three oscillators with continuously variable waveforms and pwm. Hard, sync, fm, ring mod. Dual (different) filters with series, parallel and phase flip, with several modes. Three effects stages. 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator, paraphony... balanced outs, cv/gate in/outs programmable in the sequencer, DIN midi.... high quality Fatar keyboard with AT... Not many knobs, unfortunately. 793 Euro including VAT for the 'big' version - not cheap, but doesn't sound totally unreasonable to me, considering it's analog. Unless you take into account the "Behringer effect"... Regardless, it was time that something decent in the realm of analog synthesis would come out of Italy. The only other important company at the moment is GRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberGene Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Sounds nice ðð» However it"s perplexing to me why they use potentiometers and not encoders with that type of interface where you reuse the four knobs for every possible function. It would be a very awkward experience unless I"m missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjosko Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I couldn"t resist, so I should have one here Tuesday if I am lucky, and will find out. Built in effects and presets are a plus on my analog search. Quote /Bjørn - old gearjunkie, still with lot of GAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have owned 3 different styles of Ken Rich straddlers. This one looks to me like the ones sold for a Wurlitzer 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjosko Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 And finally the editor is released for Mac and PC today ( was hoping for a IPad version as well, perhaps later ?).
