40 FREE classic drum machines for the UNO Drum

[@MrSnysokk]

I love it. Just sold my Elektron Machinedrum. They cant be compared of course. But I already made way more music on the Uno Drum. For 1/10 of the price. To me electronic music is meant to be easy and fun. This piece of plastic is easy and fun. And it sounds great for the price. Now thanks to you I discovered these ext packs 👍More fun. Great video ❤️

[@podman666]

I bought it in the fall of 2023, I was completely satisfied with the sound, I loaded bass and melodic samples and I got an inexpensive groovebox. The only complaint is the lack of polyrhythms.

[@ilikeitdark13]

I think the Uno Drum, and the synths are very slept on.

[@ernestbuckstarr]

Finally a learned, comprehensive, responsible demo! I bought UNO Drum based on this video. Thank you sir !

[@lordspam2721]

Dude! For years I have just wanted a stand-alone machine to load old drum machines for use without a computer. I always have to use a computer or iPad. Was considering the new Roland to do it. But you just sold me on how to resolve this issue! Thank you so much!

[@sotovo]

Is there a classic drum emulator on the ipad? How does it compare? Thanks for any info

[@lordspam2721]

This is an excellent demo of what this thing can sound like. Thank you! I ordered one on a bit of a whim this week, and this has assured me I made a good choice. Too excited for it to arrive...

[@rhill109]

This is THE bargain drum machine. I love mine. Wish there was a more pro version available, individual outs, pads, better build quality. I'd buy it. Feels like it's always about to break.

[@lbrown7164]

i feel the same way about the volca DRUM & KEYS but you have to accept it for what it is . . . . . .

[@ogasi1798]

maybe this year it happens, they remade the uno synth as a badder big brother so you never know ;-)

[@dennisbouma37]

So, with this device you have 40 drummachines?? Are they all in the Uno as it comes or do you have to download them everytime you wan't a new drumkit, and delete the one on the device? I wanna have it! I have the Drumbrute Impact but the Uno sounds way better and more options!

[@rhill109]

Great demo 👏👏, I just picked up one of these cheap. Heard negative things in old reviews about the uno drum, everything I’m hearing here is great.

[@sol.green.energy9515]

Great coverage that helps take the pain out of loading them all in before you known what you’re in for. Just got mine its a blast. Still learning how to fix the included bugs! Thanks for the hard work

[@martijn_yt]

Great that you can now put all these sounds in the UNO. Now we only need a decent way to get any of sounds out of the UNO (other than through one mono output ;))

With the addition of the Classic drum machines DLC I'm sold

[@musaalonso3119]

you probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of weeks :)

[@phranquepeasant5688]

As far as I know this is the only real competitor to the Arturia Spark. So many drum machines in one. Even the Mini pops. Let's Jarre.

[@decaystar]

I find this „Drum anthology package“ idea very interesting. Because it is a „sound package” from outside environment, which actually means that IK Multimedia Uno Drum has re-writable sample slots. I think it could be interesting to see, if IK Multimedia would provide the end-users with tools to make their own drum kits, you can basically download those “Drummachine kit collections” for free online.

[@stefpir]

they will not because i think their business model is to sell us kits on their online shop..

[@decaystar]

@@stefpir Shame to obsolete a device based on greediness.

[@cymonalex]

Surprisingly, no Linn or DMX samples, but maybe for the future?

[@GerryMoningkey]

the concept is all analog, all the 40 drum machines are analog which is why most of them are from the 1970s (Rhythm Box types)

[@Tommyturbo667]

Thanks for the demo starsky this convinced to me buy one of these .... 😁😁😁😁 I do enjoy your videos

[@spectralknights2]

Love it. Underrated drum machine

[@luxinterior5]

The drum sounds on the closing track that starts at 15:34 are from the uno drum library?

[@StarskyCarr]

Yes.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

Totally late to the UNO Drum party (and just joined your Patreon!), but wanted you to know how great these UD videos were. Had no idea these Anthology releases were available. Was about to buy a TR-6S but went with this instead. I hate working with drum machines, but you convinced me I’d really enjoy this.

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks for joining me on Patreon, very much appreciated. I hope the drum machine works for you. I quite enjoy getting out of the box and messing about - it always brings a fresh perspective.

[@monogramadikt5971]

they are on reduced price with a local retailer on ebay right now and ebay are offering a discount on top of that so i think i might have to jump on it :) *just made the purchase, saved $85 all up, this vid helped seal the deal ;)

[@SIRROBERTTHEKEYTARMINATOR]

I bought this last week based on the 40 drum sounds

[@carlosserrano3985]

Needs the Oberheim DMX and Linndrum libraries and it's complete, take note IK Multimedia!

[@GerryMoningkey]

I think their concept is all the 40 drum machines are all analog, not Digital/PCM drum machines. This is why the majority is the 1970s style rhythm boxes.

[@discodivo]

Sounds great! is it possible to bulk dump all 10 libraries to the unit and to leave the DAW behind?

[@dennisristow2102]

This seems like a great little unit. The only thing with a unit like this or an Aria TR-8 or even software emulations like UVI that I wonder about are combo rhythms. The original machines like a TR-77 or AutoVari 64 allow you to push multiple buttons and combine a rock beat with a samba or any of their various buttons for tons of combinations. The quirky thing I notice with my old machines is when I push two rhythm buttons at once for a combo playback, the beat isn't exactly a combo of the two. The output is a funky hybrid of the two with different pickup notes and even if they don't have swing functions, the swing does groove differently when I play the combos. I'd love for these machines, or a software developer to mimic this behavior. It won't keep me from looking at these machines, especially at the price point, but I'm not ready to get rid of my old machines so long as I have an audio to clock converter to use them in a modern rig. Other than that question, it's hard to have anything specifically negative to complain about at the price/feature options these modern machines give us, and for those of us who can't afford an authentic CR-78, this will open up a whole world of classic rhythm sounds.

[@pocojoyo]

IK Multimedia should add a sample converter to the editor.

[@MrTom-Songwriter-Composer]

Great video, now you need to take that happy puppy and hook it up to the Behringer Crave :-)

[@cheapnoise9014]

Can you do a vid on all the pcm samples only?

[@RogueMonk]

Do all of these kits come on the Uno? Or is it possible to download and load more sounds onto it? Thanks in advance!

[@StarskyCarr]

You uploads the packs to it. You can’t have all 40 in there at the same time but there’s an app to upload stuff

[@SIRROBERTTHEKEYTARMINATOR]

Can you install "all" ten new drum packs into uno drum? Or is it just "one" pack in the uno drum storage at a time?

[@StarskyCarr]

No it’s one at a time.

[@SIRROBERTTHEKEYTARMINATOR]

@@StarskyCarr Ok kool. Soooo "all" 40 kits will get into the UNO onboard storage?

[@StarskyCarr]

@@SIRROBERTTHEKEYTARMINATOR No, only one pack at a time can be loaded onto the UNO.

[@thepcgamer2169]

Choices ...This or the Korg Volca Sample2 ?? :)

[@ildarkinildarkin]

Is it better than Korg volca sample?

[@errorkit]

yes. loading samples onto the volca is a pain in the ***. Knobs are bigger on the UNO and you got analog Sounds - but all Mono. Sample is Stereo....but yeah...Sample Sucks! Get a MC101 instead ;)

[@fjfrancois]

How clean is the output of the drum machine, it is kind of noisy?

[@StarskyCarr]

I’ve not noticed any noise. With it being USB you have to be careful to use the correct cables (as with any of the boutiques etc) or you may get a hum - but it’s not ‘noisey’.

[@fjfrancois]

Starsky Carr got it, thanks

[@TheLordcasio]

Great vid. I don't why IKmm did not take the time to do the same. ONE THING...you play each of the separate kits, and show what IKmm states that they are, according to the website....the issue is (gauging from the machines I've owned and my ear), the IKmm website has a written list and a series of images. The order of the images do not match the order the written list (as far as I can tell). Can you post a list of the order of what sampled machine, from each of the Anthologies, you played? ie: "Anthology 3, clip 1: Korg blah blah, clip 2: other Korg"...etc. Thanks!

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks. I'd assumed the files were in the same order as the lists on the website I show. I can't say for definite with some of the packs, but the Roland TR, and a couple of others seemed to be in the same order. I wouldn't know if the Rhythm Ace variations for example are correct.

[@luxinterior5]

can you mix the analog sounds with the samples to use them both at the same time?

[@oddomadic]

Yeah

[@StarskyCarr]

Not per drum ie you can’t use the analog snare + a PCM snare . But you can have a PCM snare and analog kick... so you can mix and match in a kit but can’t add both to a sound. You do have 2 kicks so you can double up there.

[@luxinterior5]

@@StarskyCarr ok thx

[@terrymacklin5935]

Hi Starsky, in your opinion which Hardware Drum Machine, with individual outs, is the most affordable and usable studio unit?

[@StarskyCarr]

I'd go for a used Rytm Mk1 - so flexible yet really easy to get a decent sound when you just need a nice kick NOW!!!

[@terrymacklin5935]

Thanks for the reply, I was seriously considering Behringer RD8. After watching many reviews, including yours, I am not that crazy about it. I have see some Rytm vids and had a little twiddles in a local shop. I will be covering Roland, Elektron and Behringer over the next few weeks and anything else that throws its Rimshot at me. Thanks for the choice I will be glancing my beady eye over a review or two.

[@StarskyCarr]

Tez Mack the Roland Tr8s would defo be in the mix as well.

[@terrymacklin5935]

@@StarskyCarr Yes, the Tr8s was on my hit list, right from the Sonic State review last year. I was really on the 600 mins (or 300 stereo) sample time. Loved all the ins and outs and the tight sounds. But, no chromatic sample play back and a missing song mode. I don't think these issues have been dealt with or they need dealing with. Looked at the used prices and they really look attractive now. I've got a feeling Roland won't be investing a lot of time turning the TR8s into a wonder box by undates. It is in my top 5 at the moment. It's Groove Agent for me until I grab some more info on the field.

[@DavidBoura]

The fact you can only load one Bank at a time... sad. How do you use it for a Live when you need like 10 seconds to switch machine, and have to turn it off/on with pop? Btw you'd have to wait one second before turning it on again to not destroy it. Or have one Uno Drum per Bank ; ) I've read somewhere the samples are not from the originals, but 100% inspired and recreated with near results. Maybe that's the reason why there are no Linn and DMX for now, as they might be a little more difficult to mimic. An SD card reader and USB multi-out would definitely make it a serial killer. Now, as it is and for 200 bucks, no reason to think twice.

[@spectralknights2]

IK multimedia has the quality vintage samples from their sampletank and syntronik apps

[@TH3_FURY]

Hey Starsky ! In the drum Anthology 5 the black circular tom is "The Synare" analog synth snare made by Star Intruments. The Synare was used by Joy Division in the so famous "She lost control" track. You can watch it in action here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHWVhJmHf7R-Zpo Great demo as always !

@@StarskyCarr thanks for the reply. IK did sort things out for me, the previous owner never registered the UNO so they sent me a serial, otherwise it would be $20 to transfer the registration which I would understand for plug-ins but it seems silly for hardware products.
