Adding to an already-impressive offering of synthesizers, IK Multimedia’s UNO Synth Pro X boasts an all-analog architecture with a slew of versatile, powerful performance features. This perfectly portable paraphonic synth’s deep suite of connectivity options ensures seamless interoperative use in virtually any setup, much to the delight of Sweetwater’s synthesists and producers. Its vast sonic potential is founded on its three discrete wave-morphing oscillators, bolstered by classic dual-filter designs, flexible onboard effects, and tenacious texturizing tools that let you painlessly personalize your sound, from gritty, overdriven basses to searing leads, all with plenty of modulation. Of course, 256 onboard presets provide a studio-quality blueprint to further explore the paraphonic possibilities of UNO Synth Pro X.

Mobility-minded form, full-size ferocity





Portability isn’t just about its balance of size, form factor, and ergonomic layout. UNO Synth Pro X features a USB-C connector that will accommodate standard or battery-powered PSUs to provide unfettered access to its total tonal potential. And you’re going to need it. Its three wave-morphing oscillators are the foundation of its distinctive sonics, with PWM, sync, FM, and ring mod options on deck to craft your sound. What’s more, you’re not limited to just paraphonic play. Legato and mono options provide immense versatility, while the new Bassline mode sends your sounds plundering to the depths of raucous low-end possibilities.





Superlative sound-shaping possibilities





Standout analog character comes in many varieties, and IK Multimedia spared no effort in providing the right sound-shaping options to provide the optimum balance of classic panache and modern control. Its dual state-variable filters are designed with iconic OTA and SSI chips, enabling 24 filter combinations for exacting precision. Three FX slots can be interchangeably outfitted with one of 12 studio-caliber effects, with an additional all-analog drive circuit to imbue your sounds with warm depth to catastrophic crunch.





Plug in and sound out





For the rhythmically-minded, UNO Synth Pro X has no shortage of performance features. Looping envelopes and a pair of LFOs offer flexible modulation, but the real secret is the 16-slot mod matrix, making way for nuanced, evolving tones to breathe new life into your ideas. Elevate things even further with the 64-step sequencer, or spice up your melodic runs with any of the arpeggiator’s 10 operating modes, each of which can be tailored and refined with the onboard pattern designer. While this formidable synth can easily stand on its own, the onboard connectivity options grant you unmatched flexibility in production on the go, in the studio, or up on the stage. A stereo output pair and headphone port allow for flexible playback, while I/O options comprise 5-pin MIDI I/O and dual CV/Gate options to ensure seamless compatibility with virtually any arrangement.
