[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

definitely ... ordered mine (large version) in February already. Very interested to see how it compares to my Subsequent 25 on oscillator and filter level, and to my Peak on internal FX level ...

[@zurlocker1]

Yes absolutely! Great review, thank you.

[@Madmohawkfilms]

I don’t need another Fatar keyboard so the Full Size one not really. The Desktop with its Korg Volca like keyboard MAYBE. It’s small enough but the addition of a Moog and a Dreadbox Typhon recently has me hesitating. I even have a fair amount of IK Bucks or whatever they are called and can drop price by about 20% but still hesitating……. I’d likely NOT use it’s sequencer as I’m down the Akai Force workflow DEEP for sequencing.

[@enochroot9438]

I've seen quite a few reviews for this synth as IK has sent it to many KZbin reviewers. It looks like a decent synth but when I look at the price point and see you can get a deepmind 6 for the same price it's had pass for me

[@Madmohawkfilms]

@@enochroot9438 variety is the spice of life not everyone will gel with every new synth out there. I always THINK about copping the Deepmind 12D but never seem to do it

[@bailey5924]

I like this trend towards 37 key synths and controllers. It seemed weird that basically every mainstream midi controller had a 25, 49, 61, and sometimes 88 key option, but rarely a 37 key version. But for my set-up, 37 keys is like the perfect fit.

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

same here ... one of the reasons I ordered the large one to replace my trusty old BS-2 as main synth, and DAW MIDI controller, on my desk

[@noiselabproject9659]

yeah, 25 always sucked as in way too limiting if you actually want to play the thing instead of just using it as a note programmer ................ 32 & 37 keys now are a much better replacement than thye horrendous 25 notes ! ha ha

[@Jack-fs2im]

yes 37 keys is the perfect number imo

[@OscillatorSink]

This sounds like a synth where a lot of care has been taken to get the raw sound of the architecture *right*. This is indeed intriguing.

[@Jason75913]

The oscillators sort of sound like a creamier version of the Waldorf Pulse 2 with less glassiness. Badass other than that, and with digital effects, dual filter, and mod matrix makes this a sort of "dream modern analogue" of sorts to me.

[@filipzo]

Bo, the beat after 5:55 is freaking COOL. Great stuff! thank you for sharing!

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for this great review, Bo. After watching this, I think I know what this synth is about and how it sounds (your demo sounded pretty good, too). The filter sounds really good, very expressive. Nonetheless, it's not the thing I'm looking for. (I only mention that because I saw people accusing you of being a corporate shill _once more_ over on instagram, so I thought it was necessary pointing out that you don't need to be negative in a video to help people form an opinion). Keep up the good work and stay safe and don't give a pluck about the hators. :-)

[@BoBeats]

Thanks Floyd! Annoying as it is to be called that, its also sort of hilarious that never once does haters have any meaningful critique. Its just an easy insult.

[@bassnsax]

This is the review video I have been waiting for! I have a Korg Monologue that I use for synth bass (back when there were live shows), but the Uno Synth Pro keyboard model caught my eye and ears - I'm about 100% certain I'm going to upgrade to it! Great video as always, Bo!

[@BoBeats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I had the UNO synth, while I thought it was OK [after some initial problems were sorted out by a F/W update] it still never felt like a 'keeper' this 'Pro' sounds much improved compared to the UNO, I'm very interested in the desktop version, nicely presented Bo, cheers.

Great review Bo. I hadn't even heard of this model before this video. Now I'm wondering if it will make its way into my studio. Always appreciate your reviews and jams.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

I got my keyboard version today and I think it’s extraordinary. I can’t think of another mono+ synth like this at $650US that has such a good build, is so fully featured, and sounds great. I know you’re mostly positive about it but you seem somewhat reserved or underwhelmed. I’m surprised because I’ve got mine sitting next to a number of monosynths and UNO Synth Pro is punching way above its weight IMO

[@BoBeats]

Absolutely not underwhelmed, but I also dont want to overhype it

[@RobertSaintJohn]

@@BoBeats Understood, early days. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so impressed by yet another analog monosynth, we’re awash in choices. If nothing else, I think IK has done a very creative job in rethinking what an analog monosynth can look like, and what features it can have.

[@BoBeats]

Absolutely! Its quite unique and I hope I got that across

Yes we are looking into creating an editor at this time.

[@rickenbacker472]

@@ikmultimedia Excellent. Thanks for the reply.

[@aefonta]

I’m really into this synth. I’m really thinking into sell my Novation BS2 for this synth since I’m more a keyboardist than a synth guy and 25 keys seems not much really and sometimes it complicates playing. 37 keys seems like a nice format for an analog synth. Also it seems more oriented to leads than bass lines.

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

I like that it’s analog, since most of my synths are digital

[@fjfrancois]

Me too.

[@R1GAMBLER]

sounds good 👍

[@yujmusic]

Hey Bo, I only have the Volca Keys for now. Is the UNO a good second buy, or I'm also thinking about the Microfreak or Minilogue XD

[@fjfrancois]

I have the Minilogue XD desktop and I really like it. I’m thinking to get now the Prologue 8. (I’m scratching my head)

[@adnana7918]

The desktop one looks a lot smaller than I would have imagined from the sales pages!

[@ladyarkitekt]

I'm looking into my first hardware synth after getting a novation circuit tracks... The desktop version has my interest, but is it $50 better than what the Microfreak can offer? Or am I comparing apples and oranges between the two?

[@ElPoorKnow]

Yes you're comparing different fruits

[@isomatic]

bananas to cantaloupes, yes

[@Nonpartisanmusic]

The knobs on the Argon8 are a major letdown, absolutely no resistance, which feels cheap and is the main reason I didn’t buy it (I’m very particular about tactile feel). In contrast, the encoders on the Uno Synth Pro are excellent, offering just the right amount of resistance you d expect from a premium synth. The keybed on both synths is fantastic, with a satisfying soft resistance. The Uno Synth Pro chassis is also well made no flimsy plastic here, it’s solid metal that feels premium to the touch. The rubber buttons are another standout feature, offering a far better tactile experience than those on a Push 2 for example. The only trade off that makes this synth more affordable compared to similar models is its limited four knob (no dust or degrade over 2 years i've used it for) layout for controlling functions. However, navigating via buttons is intuitive and straightforward, quite similar to using a Push 2. and this thing is analogue ... nuff said... great vid btw

[@SammySuperStar]

This synth looks pretty cool

[@Jason75913]

[@mikebrady5471]

Hoping for a UNO Drum Pro! with multiple outs! are there many drum presets on this synth Bobeats?

[@BoBeats]

Yes there are a few drum presets and they sound good. Especially some of tje big booming bass drums

[@ToyKeeper]

Seems kind of like a simplified version of the original Microkorg, with an expanded sequencer.

[@ToyKeeper]

But, of course, analog mono instead of digital poly. Mostly, it's just the UI style which reminds me of the Microkorg. Or perhaps a Blofeld. Both use a small set of page selectors and a few knobs with a grid of parameters, with a little screen to show the value of whatever is being edited.

[@cuttingedge1987]

This synth has a really good character for a modern one

[@moshell5249]

Do you know if it sends midi cc out to be used as a midi controller as well? I got the desktop version and cant seam to get that working

Great video thanks! I just got nice, and probably a stupid question, but any grand piano sounds I can download into this?

[@christaylor839]

Hi Bo-awesome video! Qquestion on the keybed/keyboard action on the UNO with full sized keys. It sounded like there was audible "clicking/thumping" when you would play the keyboard? Is that actually the case when you play it or were we just hearing the sound that the camera was picking up being close to the keyboard or picking up the vibration of the table? (Does that make sense)? Thanks-Chris

"Pretty G-narly", I like it!

[@TheRealTeebz]

I have the UnoSynth and I love it. I may upgrade to the Pro but there is also, in my opinion, better synths for around the same price point.

[@rich5061]

I'm thinking of diving into the metal 37-key version and wanted to know if I could use it as a mid controller to control SampleTank/Syntronik, etc software as well as use the keyboard to just play? I can't get a good answer anywhere. Thanks!

Thank you for the excellent reviews Bo. I am trying to decide between Arturia's Microfreak and the desktop Uno Synth Pro as a secondary piece of hardware to travel with, and for sound design. If you could only choose one....?

[@BoBeats]

Difficult question. Depends on what other gear you have. Microfreak is more versatile and the Uno Pro has a much nicer analog tone. Better for basses and leads I recon, whereas Freak can do a bit of everything.

[@davidochenrider8152]

@@BoBeats Thanks for taking the time to respond. I play on a Roland Fantom, and use Analog Labs a lot---just an amateur musician, playing at home. I like the idea of both of these synths due to portability and onboard sounds. Wishing you continued success and health.

[@TechGently]

I have a bad feeling with Uno, it was fine but the support wasn't that good, they had a VST that didn't work that well and I felt their response was that I was bothering them by asking for a tech support issue that never got resolved. Modal, much better solution be it Cobalt or Argon they fully support their synths.

Hello from Tallinn. I'm not very good at English, but I ask you to help me with the choice of the "first" instrument. A few months later, I return to synthesis again. I have an experience of using such synthesizers as monologue, jd-xi, but cobalt 8 and minilogue xd are new experiences for me, and I cannot choose my first instrument. How much harder it is to program cobalt 8 and use it from minilogue. And Argon is too very pretty synth, but as I looked your review, use said that Argon8 is more harder to program it.However, I need your opinion in my choice. Thank you Bo! Your reviews are very helpful always. 👍😊Have a good day

No longer is there any sense of a synth’s capabilities or sound based on looks or size. Those days are loooooonnnnngggggg gone. But when your talking Italian synths, you know your in for something unique

[@novakillbones2140]

27 minutes and not a word about whether you like it or not. So I assume that means you don't, right? I also find it weird that you bag the Desktop version for feeling "plasticky". I've had mine for a week now and to me it feels really solid and the "fit and finish" is absolutely first rate. I definitely prefer plastic as it is far more durable. Metal chassis get scratched and dented and the paint peels off. I'd actually pay extra for a plastic chassis over a metal one. Both my original Uno and the Uno Pro Desktop feel like they'll outlast any of my other hardware synths. BTW, when I saw your problem with the Mod Wheel, I checked mine and it responds to even the lightest touch so I think that may be a problem with your review unit. For the record, I am really impressed with my Uno Pro Desktop. It is a massive step up from the original and IK have addressed all the major gripes owners had with the first Uno Synth. To be fair, they have created a couple of new issues but I think, overall, that it is a very, very good synth. It's got a much nastier character than my Analog Keys and I think it will give my bandmate's Subsequent 37 a run for it's money, for just one-quarter of the price.

[@BoBeats]

I actually think its a pretty good synth. Sometimes I just dont feel like putting extensive ”i like this” sections in my videos if I dont have something specific I want to convey. In the video I think I managed to convey I like the sound, the build of the keyboard and that theres a bunch of unique features. Glad to hear you dig the build quality but its interesting that you ask for my opinion, and then question why I have an opinion on the build of the desktop. For the money its ok, but not great. The keyboard however is great. The desktop, compared to pretty much any other desktop synth I own, feels light weight and not durable. Thats just how it *feels* to me. The contrast to the keyboard is massive to me. Its not a 100% objective technical observation about materials and how durable they are, but rather how they feel as instruments to me.

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Do you work for UNO or what? How can you say plastic is better than metal? The consensus is that the desktop version is what it is, pretty cheap construction and this is logic, it's very affordable, they have to cut corners. I think you're a bit overdoing it, but don't take it bad, you're maybe a little too enthusiastic

[@emilianoescalante4418]

So could this be considered a collaboration of the UNO SYNTH and the UNO DRUM together in one machine? Excellent demo by the way!

[@matszh]

No ”drums” in the Uno Synth Pro (although you can synthesize one.) Very nice analog synth and digital effects though, as well as a good arpeggiator and sequencer.

[@kimbanevile6421]

I just hope they improved the build quality. I owned an OG Uno synth. I hated it. The build quality sucked big time. To sweep the filter I had to apply pressure at an angle on the encoder or it would do nothing. I had problems with all the encoders. Also the “keyboard” was not very responsive. I almost had to beat the thing to get any sound. If I was going to spend that amount again I would get a Volca Keys, Bass, or another Crave.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

$650+tax here in the US and this is comparable to the Sub 37 and Pro 3 at twice the price. I personally think it’s a bargain. The $250 difference between the desktop and keys version was totally worth it to me. Build is rock solid and the keys are the best of anything in my studio under $1k. All these modulations are a sound design dream.

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

@@RobertSaintJohn agree. Sub 37 and Pro 3 of course have way more dedicated knobs per function. Other than that, the UNO Pro seems close feature wise; on par with the Sub 37 that comes without built-in FX (other than analog drive) and has only 2 OSCs + SubOsc (no 3 note paraphony, limited control over Osc #3), but has a bit better envelope/mod matrix flexibility. I have a Subsequent 25 (VCOs and VCF as on the 37), looking forward to compare it sonically to the UNO Pro, which will hopefully arrive at my door next week. Pro 3 has some extra features like 2 more LFOs, 1 more ENV, tuned feedback; and OSC #3 is digital and can do wavetables ... UNO Pro cannot fully touch this, but large version costs less than half of regular Pro 3 version.

Man next to the sleek Circuit Tracks, the desktop Uno really looks like a kids toy. Props to Novation on the upgrade. The old Circuit looked like a toy too.

It sounds good but at 400 international monetary units for the desktop version it is far too expensive for what you get. If it drops to 300, now your talking.

300 for a 3 oscillator analog… that would make it cheaper than a Microfreak.

[@albertswift]

@@BoBeats indeed, if not the same price. Although quite different, I imagine they are competing in the same sector of the market.

What's as good or better for the very same money?

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Well, it is now at 299.. So we're talking 🤣. It's a very competitive price now for what you get. Pretty unbeatable

@@rodolphep0nthus555 I pulled the pin at 329 😂
