🐄 < this is moo
mo say "mooh"
it mean "hellow"
Best video about this synth by far. For sure it took time, effort and love and it shows. Congrats for such great job you did with this.
Thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you! I just bought one of these and am grateful for your clear understanding and expertise. This has so many knobs, and so many bells and whistles, that I am overwhelmed with all the functionality. That's NOT a complaint! I just have a lot to learn and my 74-year-old brain isn't as sharp as it used to be. This was an hour well-spent. And I shall listen again and again as it is clear and concise!
I am not an IOS user nor shall I ever be, but I have subscribed for any future updates. Thanks!
The quality of this video is insane in every way: content, production, education, entertainment...
Subscribed.
Freaking amazing production quality on this. Thank you so much for the deep dive. Definitely earned a sub!
Wow this was the best uspx video by far. I'm so tempted to buy and use it with modular stuff.
An awesome thing I think you didn't mention. You can drive/saturate the oscillators pre filter by sending them 100% into the filter (80% is no overdrive, no additional gain).
Great instruments and great Jakob! Thank you!
These sounds are very inspiring !
This walk thru was just incredible, soo well laid out and articulated. Im amazed! Thank you Jacob 💚
Thank you for watching Max!
Nice and deep demo, and cool jams :) Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this great ‘tutorialized’ demo review 🙌🏻 Bought the USPX a couple of weeks ago and exploring it was already so much fun! The sound and very direct hands-on experience are simply awesome 😊 This video gave me some extra insights and sparked some ideas for further experimentation 🙏🏻 👍🏻
Thank you so much for the feedback, means a lot to me. And thank you for watching!
This synth looks amazing sounds great too
i just bought the pro desktop! I might still buy this one
Wow! The UI just seems SUPER intuitive! The size and powerful sound w great UI makes this no brainer for me. And it works well w iPad it seems, as well as does paraphonic!
I’m a big fan of Soundmachines and have their Modulör114 which is amazing. So when I saw them involved with the Uno Synth Pro X, I was intrigued and watched all available videos of it at the time. Just got mine and wow what a little beast it is. Love the fact it has three oscillators, mostly relies on knobs than menu diving, and can be powered by usb-c. Bonus is it fits inside my small sling bag for on the go fun 😊
Yeah, this one is going to go into my bag every time I leave my home, I freaking love it too.
Oosh! Nice tune
Thank you! 🤍
Good on you for clearly stating your relationship with IK Multimedia up front. I have the Uno Synth Pro, and it’s a great sounding synth. I would love to “upgrade” to the new version.
Good job Jacob and very nice songs 👍😀
Thank you!
I grabbed the pro. Super cheap and it has the same sound engine and connectivity, the omission of the touch keyboard and pricing was a dealbreaker for me. Very impressed with what this little beast is capable of.
Great review 🔥
I hope they add probability, time divisions, preset (lock) per step, randomise settings, and undo in a future update. please IK 🙏 ❤️
Very very very nice… only about the second time I’ve had hardware GAS in the last 2 decades. Cheers Jakob, great vid! 🍻
Thank you so much!
I’d be happy to see more eurorack related vids! Eurorack and iPad apps would be ideal, there’s still very little covered on CZcams! ❤✌️✌️
Your demo songs sound even cooler in Swedish.
🇸🇪🐄🤍
5:07 my biggest gripe, no keys 😵💫
Mellowed by the moo singing the moo’s or blues or whatever 🐄🎙️💙
6:03 first spot I see, separate power and data ❤❤❤❤❤
My uno synth and drum are jealous, along with my ears.
7:59 instant Krell music 🤘🤘🤘
10:24 Viking Prog Rock, a moo of many genres 🐄👍
12:12 add option to flash selected button in firmware update 😎
15:25 first look the moodular rack 🥰
52:13 I’m a 51 year old man and I do the same 😂
In fact most the time it’s on app’s you’ve recommended 🤔, the moo moo is subliminal programming??? 😮
Love the sound, love the design, love the improvements especially separate power 🤩, but no keys and half a grand….. 😞
Too much for exploding moo, but I live in hope that it follows normal IK pricing policies and in a few years be in reach 👍
Oh and IK you’d be loved so much more, and likely sell more units, if your secondhand lockout policies were changed 🤬
Great review and demo, always sound great and make big smiles 😁, much moo love 🐄❤️
I thank Xplody-boom-cow so much for your kind heartwarming words. Big moo!
How much transfers to the Pro Desktop? It has the same IO so modular connections should be similar?
Does the audio in also goes through the amplifier? Or only through filter and fx? Otherwise you need to play the keyboard to hear audio in , I dont want this.
Thank you for this video test !
If i'm search for big heavy low basses... Do you have an advice for another synth ? small ou Rackable please ? not too expansive... ;) Thank you !
please make them release a keyboard version! like the old one. im so in for a 37 keys version of this. ;)
Great title track ❤. Please more like that. What is the vocal effect chain?d
What you’re hearing is me dubbed 4 times. I then pre-process my vocals with Klevgränd Produkter “Brusfri” and “Esspresso”. One is a de-noiser (best one on iOS) the other is a de-esser). I also use FabFilter Pro Q3 (filter/Equalizer) and Pro-C (compressor) to sculpt frequencies and tighten the vocals up. The last plugin in the chat in is FabFilter Saturn where I’m using my own preset/algorithm. The reverb/delay is Fabfilter Timeless 3 with my own preset, it’s added as a send effect Oh and thank you for your kind words!
While still viewing your review I already have one question: do you probably own some sort of dust cover for the ‘original’ desktop version? Really would like to know if this fits the Pro X, too? Decksaver or Analog Cases don’t have their offerings pinpointed for this superb synth (yet).
Unfortunately no, I don’t use those desk saver things cause I hate wiping stuff and dusting things. I use a blanket or mini blankets. I can just grab em, go out side and shake of the dust.
For what it’s worth, I have contacted Decksaver and requested a cover for the Uno Synth Pro X. They replied and confirmed the request has been noted.
@@bwest6275they could make it fit with the Uno Synth Pro Desktop, too. The only difference is that it should be overall a bit higher to match the middle two rows of knobs of the Pro X. The problem is that both synths don’t seem to have enough users and/or requests for a cover, so they are still not planned for production. I even can’t find one of this vinyl-based soft covers for the Pro X or Desktop. Did you probably find one that fits?
Jakob, you are a NERD! And I love it.... Slightly out of your domain, did IK improve the editors/VSTs for this version?
I’m not sure. As you’ve guessed I haven’t really looked into it. I’m thinking they’ve probably just updated the original UPS editor to include the new stuff for USPX. When looking at the site page for USPX I can’t find any new info on a new editor.
WoW !.. what video production tools were used to create the video introduction?
I recorded the video of me playing the synth filters with an iPhone 6s. I made visual graphic stuff with vs-visual Synthesiser app I made the text animations with a typewriter app. I put it all together in LumaFusion on my iPad.
Big Thk, how did you split the screen in 3?@@JakobHaq
Did you send them your wishlist for features? I share nearly the same.
I would add R2D2 here 23:44 :)
Loved the songs with lyrics it was fun
Thank typ so musch for the feedback about the music. I realise that my music isn’t in everyones taste so I’m always very happy when someone tells me they enjoy a track of mine. Made my day! 💋🤍
no problem :), the Swedish one was the best btw. I liked the one-patch track and the guttural (kinda) singing was the best match for it as well as the lyrics @@JakobHaq
Would like to see hows this performs against a 303 in Bassline mode
I could not agree more about the value of knob per function. I know you like tiny so maybe truly tiny knobs and not having all 3 oscillators with dedicated knobs is an acceptable tradeoff to keep the whole synth so small. For me SE-02 with knobs not quite as small and all 3 VCOs having them is preferable, plus you can find them in excellent condition used for $150 less. The other challenge it faces is Hydrasynth Explorer, Minifreak, and Deepmind 6 are a lousy $100 more new and can be found used for less in great condition. None of that changes how great it clearly can sound as you have shown, but at that price I think it will be tough to sell many - time will tell.
Why would you buy a guitar if you wanted a banjo?
@@lextron-audio I guess mostly because a guitar does not (and generally cannot easily be made) to sound like a banjo. A mono covering this in this price range has been out for almost 6 years now. Polys fully covering this (and obviously a lot more) can be had for not much more - less used in some cases. The only thing it seems to have going for it is how tiny it is. As stated there are some great sounds available and buyers could be very happy with it. If you are one of them then enjoy.
@@klstay monos and polys sound very different. I agree about the se-02. Really love that synth. If it was bigger it would cost so much more (see studio electronics of synths).
@@lextron-audio Roland has been run by bean counters for a LONG time now so I am shocked it got made at all. Imagine if they'd had the brains to also build a full size with the EXT Box functions folded in with a 44 key keybed w/wheels. With the same profit margin they could have sold it around $1k and would not have been able to make enough of them.
@@klstay that would be great!
The poor cow didn't make it to another tree ;)
just in case, find it here 1:09
🐄🤍
Somebody make a keytar version 😂
All praise USB-C
😂💋
😅 and:
One thing on the ‘power by usb’, it doesn’t seem to switch to the power supply when connected. So if the power supply is connected the USPX still uses power from the USB-C connection, which is a problem when the unit is connected to a (powered) USB-hub as it still draws power away from other none-powered devices that are connected to the hub.
@@maikvanrossuminteresting! I didn’t try this yet. I wonder if this is a simple firmware fix, or some reason behind this. At any rate I’ll replicate it and report it to the company. Although I have sent IK Multimedia a query after getting my X and it’s been some weeks now without a reply. I hope their tech support team are existent.
I still prefer USB-B.
The same oscillators, filters, effects (?), etc. as the Uno Synth Pro. But much better operability. I bought the Uno Synth Pro a few months before the X was released and the Uno Synth 2.5 years ago. Now I feel like a beta tester who was supposed to pay for testing. For now I'm not buying anything from IKM anymore.
