love it!!

Spend this week end a bit more time to relearn the SP404 and spend more time with it after upgrading to 4.04. Used your video to get back into the groove. If you not already done/doing this highly recommend to look into V4.04. There is so much improvement made to make this workflow now much easier - Ver 3.0 Sample OneShot Playback (ValueKnob+Gate Allows Samples in a pattern to be longer as the actual Pattern, so you can have 16bar sample in a 4 bar pattern). This improves looping longer samples with a short pattern PatternChange Playback mode - MKII vs SX allows to actually sustains the sample being played after pattern change. - Ver 4.04 - Rec Sample with pre determined Bar Length (no cutting of samples to be perfect 4, 8... bars) - TR-REC Microscope (allows to adjust volumes of sample in the TR Rec Mode (kind of mixing)) - 4 bar (20sec) Looper with Overdub. - Naming Samples and Projects on the device - Exporting/Importing Projects - Creating Stems from Patterns / Bounce full Pattern Chains There are is still some bugs if you resample freshly loaded samples from SD card. But overall for a workflow to record and try-out phrases and use those to play and building some song ideas the box got really much more capable and still once learned the workflow still is fairly quick. Hope this is helpful to some one

very surprised by the price of this synth considering how nice it sounds

guys he likes Behringer, lmao rtfl. No for real i get it, Uli is the neo-Nicolaus. Thank you Uli.

Nice work Tim! Brilliant

27:15 So you like TangerineDream :) I have the Uno Synth Pro desktop. It is not good for bass but perfect for these type of sequencing tracks.

Those drums at 8m what are they? Wicked sound .

I really liked the poly d features I'm thinking of getting one but I've read reviews where tuning is a problem, how well it works after a year or two of usage? Is there any big problem to have in mind before spending money on it?

For those in the U.S., Sweetwater currently has all of the Uno Synths on sale. The original Uno Synth is only $130 USD and the Pro X is $400.

That looks so much fun Tim. I'm tempted 😁 Re your channel, you and your family comes first, and anyone who loves your work will stick around. Take care now. I look forward to what comes next 😊

Re: Short Decay Times. Tim, there are a number of ways to produce decay times longer than those provided by the default envelopes. i) Use an inverse envelope by setting a negative modulation amount in the mod matrix. This converts a rising attack CV into a falling (decay) CV at the destination. Thus the longer env attack time becomes a long decay time. Probably need to set env sustain at max too. ii) The LFO fade in times can be used as decay sources in the mod matrix. Either of them can extend up to 10 seconds, and you can also change the shape of the curves. iii) Use an envelope from external modular or semi-modular gear via the CV in at the back of the Uno Synth. Like you, I love this synth.

As always i love your own music the best. No matter the synth. But I agree that this synt seems nice. Stay strong, take your time and don't worry about neglecting the channel. We will be waiting for you.

That's a great and very thorough video. Very interesting and valid point about the decay stage of the ADSR envelopes. I just uploaded my own first impressions video on the same synth and I like it a lot.

What an awesome intro to this video Tim! 👊🏼

Dust magnet!

May your mixes always be clean and your project files never corrupt. Thank you!

When the Uno was first announced I was quite interested and was sure I'd get one. But there's just something about the sound that leaves me cold.

Killer drums sounds at 6:40. Has nothing to do with the Uno Pro X. But great sounding drums all around!

Tim. Watching your videos is like watching a movie. Thanks so much for the time, care and beauty you put into each video. It is very much appreciated!

thumbs up Tim !!

Its a great synth that looks like a toy. i think its something they can change as it a great price for what your getting.

Thanks for sharing a personal note, Tim. I trust more hopeful days ahead for you and yours.

Nothing less than excellent, as expected. I wonder how you would compare this with the Roland Studio Electronics SE-02. I have the SE-02 and it sounds wonderful but I have never totally gelled with it for sound design. Not sure why. The miniature knobs don't help. I feel, from watching this, that I may do better with the Uno Synth Pro X. If you would like to review the SE-02 I would be happy to loan you mine for a while.

Very good demo. Cheers❤

Thanks for this, it show me the love for my synth in a new light again! Amazing work they do here.. i just don‘t liked the interface of the first version.. but this is a big improvement! 🔥

I kove this synrh and had to buy a second one too. so good (I'm new to sound design and this makes it super easy to explore and noodle)

Hi Tim, I hope you will overcome your current family situation. Thanks for this video and wishing you all the best!

Top notch, as always. Great camera work and visual effects. This is one I've seriously considered, and would pair with my Therevox, when it's finally delivered. Due to sanctions, Russian synths are unavailable, but if you want to borrow an Infradeep PVX800 (Polyvox clone) for review, happy to send one.

Hi Tim, loved this video. Very useful, thanks. While I have some overlap with other synths, the hand on nature of the UI of this instrument especially, make it very compelling. I may end up picking one up. I went digging with the PDF manual after what you said about the decay time, and on page 17 it states "DECAY Sets the amount of time needed to go from peak to the specified sustain level. The range is 0.1 ms to 30 sec." so is the manual wrong, since you only got 3 seconds? Maybe it's behaviour changes in Bassline mode? Anyway that's just something I thought of. Nice to see the Supernova rack in your setup, I remember those and the keyboard version - again, a nice UI.

There is a tiny Facebook group for the uno series but its my last Synth that leaves the studio. Small, but love the modmatrix.. like you said its like an analog wavetable.. the FILTERS wow,. Cv in and out the list Goes on and on. Could you please explain how you use the sequencer poly out? Ok i worked it out just press 3 knops at the same time. But can it be sent over 3 midi outs?

Fantastic review Tim. I absolutely love mine too and agree with everything you said

I'm planning on getting a Micromonsta 2 next, but damn this synth looks tempting. One little thing I wish it did differently is VCO tuning - I wish it had coarse tuning by octave. As a performance feature, it's nice to be able to make one oscillator jump an octave on the fly while the other(s) stay put. I also wish it had a proper mixer section with mute buttons (again, a nice performance feature to have, and something I wish more synths had) instead of a single shared level knob, but that would require a larger form factor. As a less flexible compromise, maybe IK could've put the ring mod on the sync button, and added mute as the secondary function of the osc button.

A keyboard version please 🙏

Your video gave me a touch of GAS.

I used the red keyboard one on a bunch of my songs on my channel, u can see it on if there was a reason. but it is on every synth track, every fat bass line. check it out!

draw 4

I blame Roland's Seventies' era SH monos......❤❤❤

100% agree! This is one of my favorite monosynths. It’s so powerful, usable, and well thought out in a compact enclosure.

3:48 👍

Hi Tim. You've opened my eyes to this synth. It was never really on my radar to be honest, but your concise and very informative review has made me think about it a lot more seriously. Thanks very much! Cheers ✌️

When will we get a new Uno Drum... It sounds so good but doesn't have an enjoyable interface

Great intro into this synth, Tim, Another complaint I have is there is no on/off switch, for the price IK Multi should have included one, I hate having to unplug it to turn it off every time.

On the 'env decay length'. I spent a lot of time reverse engineering the original Uno Synth, and for that it was possible to set paramters directly with SysEx - and for some you could set value outside of the range achievable with knob/editor/cc. Guessing that the same might be possible with the Pro/Pro-X

Not buying this thing until IK changes their policies: you have to register to get firmware updates; and then you have to pay them to transfer ownership.

I agree with you, it's a big sounding synthesizer that not many people take seriously.

In this mad crazy world I find your videos reassuring

Uno Synth Pro X seems to have thoroughly thought their architecture through. thanks for vid Tim.

I swear you'd make a soggy newspaper sound sweet TS. Best wishes with all you have going on Sir...

Really appreciate the videos you create Tim, thanks for putting the time in, especially when times are tough. All the best to you and the Uno Synth is incredible bang for the buck! =)
