IK Releases The Uno Synth Pro Editor

OFFERING INSTANT ACCESS TO EVERY HARDWARE PARAMETER AND COMPLETE PRESET MANAGEMENT

IK Multimedia is proud to release the highly anticipated UNO Synth Pro Editor for UNO Synth Pro and UNO Synth Pro Desktop, giving Mac/PC users access to all the parameters under the hood of these powerful, flexible synths. As with the original UNO Synth, the new UNO Synth Pro Editor gives users exciting new ways to integrate true analog synthesis into their computer-based recording rigs.

• Huge real analog sound: 3 continuously variable waveshape oscillators with PWM, synch, FM and ring modulation
• Dual filter design: a new SSI filter plus the original UNO Synth filter for 24 possible modes, including serial and parallel routing
• Massive sonic flexibility: full ADSR envelopes + LFOs and modulation matrix
• Powerful control: 256 User-editable presets, onboard arpeggiator and 64-step sequencer with automation
• Onboard effects: 12 studio-quality effects in 3 simultaneous slots: modulation, delay and reverb, plus true-analog overdrive
• Advanced connectivity: noiseless balanced outs; USB, MIDI and CV/Gate I/O; plus audio input to filters, effects or outputs
• Includes FREE editor for Mac/PC that works as a standalone application and a plug-in inside your favorite DAW

Whether it’s programming, integrating with other gear, creating new presets, archiving old ones, everything is just a click away with the new easy-to-use UNO Synth Pro Editor.

Sound creation made easy

The Editor gives access to many synthesis parameters of the UNO Synth Pro that are beyond its front panel controls: parameters that are only available via shortcuts or menu access are now right there, in one intuitive interface.

For the oscillators, the FM modulation and glide are shown in their relative sections. For the envelopes, users get instant access to the loop buttons, allowing the envelopes to work like complex LFOs and retrigger controls. In the filter section, users can now visually grasp the elegance and power of UNO Synth Pro’s filter section and experience freely its sound-shaping capabilities.

Use the Editor like a soft-synth or virtual instrument to instantly access any parameter of the UNO Synth Pro while retaining the pure, unmatched sound of real analog circuits. UNO Synth Pro responds to parameter changes in the Editor and vice versa in real-time for effortless creativity.

Complete preset management

The Editor also lets users manage a massive number of presets easily and transfer them between their Mac/PC and UNO Synth PRO. Quickly browse audition, and search limitless numbers of presets.

Users can arrange presets into custom categories or sort by style, genre, date, or setlist. Instantly add and re-order presets on UNO Synth Pro itself. Or save presets from the hardware synth back to the Editor for later editing and use. When it’s time to perform, use the bulk transfer feature to move presets back and forth and prepare the UNO Synth Pro quickly.

Getting it together

The Editor makes it a breeze to precisely configure UNO Synth Pro for integration into an existing rig. The Global Settings menu provides a convenient way to map MIDI routings, letting users easily assign communication across both the MIDI DIN ports and USB. Connect outboard gear and virtual apps instantly. And use UNO Synth Pro as both a MIDI interface and MIDI controller.

The only way to go

Enjoy the convenience and flexibility of a powerful plug-in, but with the massive sound of a real analog synthesizer. With UNO Synth Pro Editor, users can take music production to the next level, creating exciting sounds faster than ever imagined.

Pricing and availability

UNO Synth Pro Editor is available free for all registered users of UNO Synth Pro or UNO Synth Pro Desktop.

UNO SYNTH PRO

3 Oscillators that do it all

3 analog oscillators offer continuously variable waveshape, including pulse-width modulation. Oscillators can be hard-synced for more harmonically complex tones, and oscillator FM (frequency modulation) lets you shape everything from bell-like sounds to screaming industrial tones.

UNO Synth Pro even includes ring modulation for wobbly, sci-fi sound, and a white noise generator for a wide range of percussive sounds and epic rises.

Recreate famous synth sound sources or forge entirely new ones – UNO Synth Pro has the tools you need.

Dual filters with 24 available modes

In addition to the original UNO Synth’s 2-pole OTA multimode filter, UNO Synth Pro adds a new 2/4-pole SSI LP filter with self-oscillation. The dual filters can be used in series or parallel, with an invertible phase, for a total of 24 possible filter combinations.

In short, the UNO Synth Pro can recreate the filter sound of the most famous classic synths as well as deliver fresh new options to the limits of your imagination.

Envelopes, filters and modulation matrix

UNO Synth Pro offers 2 full ADSR envelopes, one dedicated to the filter and the other to amplitude, with both available as sources to modulate everything from oscillator pitch and waveshape to LFO speed or even other envelope stages.

2 LFOs (low-frequency oscillators) can create classic synth vibrato, wah and tremolo as well as do more complex modulations including audio range FM.

And a 16-slot modulation matrix makes routing all these a breeze. You can quickly and easily design even the most sophisticated modulation scheme, with both internal and external sources, including MIDI controllers.

Stunning onboard effects

IK’s experience in modeling analog studio effects is decades-long. For UNO Synth Pro, you’ll find a super warm and organic true-analog overdrive, plus 12 studio-quality effects in three simultaneous slots: modulation, delay and reverb. External signals can also be routed through these effects, with pre-effects filtering for maximum flexibility.
