I quite like the UNO Drum. No issues with mine. I use it over my Behringer RD-8. I bought a longer USB cable for my Uno Drum and it works great. I got an awesome price on a new one last year.. I also plug it into a phone wall adapter to power and found it helps get rid of noise. I dig it. It's a fun little drum machine. I haven't had an issue with finger drumming on it. The Modal Skulpt feels even more like a cheap toy. It was so bad, I returned the Skulpt as it also relies too heavily on its app.

[@jaxager]

I have one of these. Let me start by saying that I'm just getting into music production. This is technically my second drum machine. I bought a Korg Volca Drum first. I love it but it is tough for someone just starting out to use effectively (at least for me it was, anyway). So, I decided to get this. I really like it, for the most part. That said, I am on my second one. The first one had to be returned due to some of the buttons becoming completely unresponsive. With the latest firmware update I am experiencing very little bugs. The only bugs I experience are with some of the step buttons becoming unresponsive. It happens when I go to swipe all the steps quickly to lay down 16 claps, for instance, in a row. As a result, I've stopped swiping like that and now push each step button in a normal fashion. As I said, I'm new to this stuff. I'm satisfied with it, overall.

[@AudioPilz]

Great starting point for electronic music production!

[@jaxager]

@@AudioPilz Good to know! Also, I love the size of it. I have an UNO Synth too. The two machines fit well into a compact case that is easy to take into work. I work at the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio. I have an office and I really only deal with emergencies. This leaves me plenty of time to do things like play video games, watch videos, and fart around with synthesizers. If I take care of business, they really don't care what I do in my office. I love my job. That said, can you recommend a drum machine that is a little bit more powerful in the sub 300-400 dollar range? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

[@secretelitemusic]

They go for about 100 international beer tokens in the UK. Still overpriced, compared to the humble Volca equivalent. The Drumbrutes have the advantage of individual outs, even if they are on mini monojacks, which allows some external processing to oomph up the sounds. The gold standard for teenytiny analogue drumboxes with wonky operating systems is the MFB503, which knocks the UNO out of the park.

[@LaymensLament]

Its a giant PITA but I definitely recommend picking one up for like a 100 bucks if you can, under two conditions. (1) You use external midi control and sequencing. The thing has an astonishingly complete midi implementation and its even in the manual (I'm looking at you AKAI). Midi receive includes roll and stutter effects, the tweakable paramters of the different sounds as well as switching between the different sounds per slot included in a kit (5 sounds per slot), as well as changing kits. (2) You use use a ground isolator usb thingie. arturia sends some with their beatstep pro. (alternatively using batteries might also work and they recommend using a balanced TRS into a mixer while not pluggin in the ground part in the manual -- which sounds like a joke). Once you resolve all the BS of this thing, its pretty fun. And if you're on the fence about a dedicated analog drumbox, this is a good unit to give it a shot.

Possible candidate for a future Better Gear entry? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zHo5SXlsp2jdE Details on how it was done are in the video description.
