Musicians, DJs, and synthesizer aficionados will rejoice over the IK Multimedia UNO Synth, an ultra-portable, true-analog synthesizer made to deliver a massive analog sound but with a simple programming interface at a remarkably affordable price. Designed in conjunction with Italian boutique synth maker, Soundmachines and IK's synth guru, Erik Norlander, the UNO provides instant satisfaction for anyone who is new to synthesis, while seasoned professionals will appreciate the advanced features with both classic and modern sound capabilities.

The UNO is a single voice, dual-oscillator synthesizer with a multimode filter, two envelopes for the VCA and VCF, and a multi-waveform LFO. Each independent VCO offers saw, triangle, and pulse waveforms with variable shape, including pulse-width modulation (PWM). Additionally, a white noise generator can be added for noises sweeps, percussive sounds, and sound FX. The 2-pole OTA-based filter offers analog resonant modes with LP, BP, and HP selections. Other advanced features included a real-time and step-edit sequencer with 20 automatable parameters, as well as a 10-mode, 4-octave arpeggiator.

The onboard multitouch 27-note keyboard offers 14 scales plus a chromatic mode. To round out the instrument, a synchronized delay and 5 performance effects offer simple, yet effective, results. The UNO is self-tuning with auto-tune calibration. The rear panel offers USB MIDI via micro-USB and standard MIDI connectors via two (in/out) 5-pin DIN adapters. For audio connections, the UNO provides two 1/8" (3.5mm) connectors for input and output, allowing the unit to work with external gear, while connecting to headphones or a PA.

Complete MIDI implementation with all parameters and clock can be controlled via MIDI CC, while the Mac/Windows software editor/librarian allows you to create, store, and recall your own custom patches to any of the 80 onboard user preset slots. The IK Multimedia UNO can be powered by battery or via USB and includes four AA batteries, a micro-USB to USB cable, and two MIDI adapters.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the sound quality good with DSLRs ? I'd like to use this with running and gunning on-the-go with a shotgun mic and not have to sync audio in post. Thanks, Ef

A: The audio recorded by virtually any DSLR's built-in microphone is mediocre at best. The iRig Pre Microphone Interface is not designed to connect to cameras as it is intended for use with iOS devices like the iPhone or iPad. Consider a Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # SHVP83 which requires no adapters. It is a plug and play mic. An XLR shotgun powered by a battery will offer even better performance but will require a cable and an adapter. Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # RONTG2K2 (B&H Kit)

Q: 2. Is this microphone can connect to android device?

A: No it cannot be used with Android devices: For iOS, Mac, and Windows Platforms

Q: 3. You are advertising this as coming with iRig Keys Pro, but the image appears to be only of the iRig Keys, and iRig itself only seems to sell this package with the Keys and not the Keys Pro. Does this in fact come with iRig Keys Pro or is that a misprint?

A: It comes with the iRig Keys Pro. It says iRig Keys Pro numerous times in the copy. It seems the photo was never updated.

Q: 4. can this uses with Dynamic XLR micophone by a 3-Pin XLR Female to 1/4" TRS Male Barrel Adapter ?

A: No, the IK Multimedia iRig HD 2 is not compatible with microphones.

Q: 5. Is this mono or stereo input?

A: This will be a mono input.

Q: 6. Will this work on a MacBook? I’m going to use it for a podcast.

A: The iRig Pre was designed for use with mobile devices like iPhones and iPads rather than a MacBook. You will have better results using a USB interface with a MacBook. If you are using a mic with XLR output, you can use the Polsen XLR-USB-48 XLR to USB Audio Interface (B&H# POXLRUSB48) which can also supply phantom power. The Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 Desktop 2x2 USB 1.1 Audio Interface (B&H# BEUM2) is another lower-priced option. If you want an interface that will work with your MacBook as well as with mobile devices, the IK Multimedia iRig Pre HD Audio Interface with Mic Pre (B&H# IKIRIGPREHD) or Zoom U-22 Ultracompact 2x2 USB Handy Audio Interface (B&H# ZOZU22) are good options. Please feel free to contact us by phone or through live chat if you would like further assistance.

Q: 7. How long is the iphone cable?

Q: 8. Does this work with an iPad mini?

A: work on all IOS

Q: 9. Does this come with the cabling to go out to an iPad? Lightning to Lightning?

A: Yes, the iRig Pre HD comes with two cables -- a Lightning to micro-USB cable and a USB to micro-USB cable. The host connector on the iRig is micro-USB. If your iPad uses a Lightning connector, then the Lightning to micro-USB cable is the one to use. If your iPad uses a USB-C connector, use the USB to micro-USB cable together with a Pearstone USB 3.0 Type-C to USB Type-A Adapter (B&H # PEUSB33CA06) or similar USB-C adapter.

Q: 10. It seems, This includes iPhone apps. Is there any app for Android that can be downloaded? Thanks!
