Uno Synth Pro X Provides Top-Notch Sound Creation in a Compact Format

IK Multimedia returns with an updated version of its much-acclaimed Uno Synth Pro keyboard, now in the form of the Uno Synth Pro X. Retaining the core structure of its predecessor, this three-oscillator paraphonic device comes with a gamut of features, but with added characteristics that distinguish it from the original. The Pro X flaunts a completely redesigned layout and an exclusive sound engine. It’s also loaded with new effects, encompassing true analog overdrive, shimmer reverb, and a vibrato/chorus modeled on the renowned Uni-Vibe pedal.

In total, there are more than ten “professional-grade” effects which can be layered for individualistic sound design options, using three modulation slots. Its dual-filter layout and three-oscillator sound engine offer ample sonic potential, and you have 256 preset slots to store your personalized sounds. Furthermore, the Pro X features a 64-step paraphonic sequencer with both step and real-time recording capabilities, along with a 10-mode arpeggiator with a pattern designer. This arpeggiator includes standard legato, mono, and paraphonic modes, and introduces a fresh bassline mode.

A significant departure from the initial Synth Pro is the lightweight nature of this version, clocking in at less than a kilogram, making it ideal for portability. This is great for users who enjoy toying with synthesizers on the go, but it comes with a trade-off. There’s no proper keybed, so users must resort to the integrated multi-function buttons or connect it to a MIDI keyboard. However, compared to the original model, this version offers an array of hands-on control options.

Regarding connectivity, the Synth Pro X presents impressive features. It incorporates USB-C, 5-pin DIN MIDI, balanced stereo outputs, and a dedicated stereo headphone output. These interfaces simplify integration with other synthesizers, effects processors, DAWs, and essentially anything else. When connected to a computer, the advanced sound editor can be accessed in your chosen DAW for further fine-tuning.

The Uno Synth Pro X by IK Multimedia can be powered using USB-C or the supplied standard PSU. You can purchase it directly from the company for $500.
