[Editor and 1.0.2 firmware available now] UNO Drum analog/PCM drum machine

[Peter - IK Multimedia]

IK Multimedia is proud to unveil our brand new UNO Drum - the newest member of the UNO series. This brand new analog/PCM drum machine offers a wide sonic palette combining fat, punchy analog sounds with digital flexibility and convenience. A robust selection of programming and live performance features and controls makes it easy for musicians, producers, and DJs to add massive drum grooves to their music.

UNO Drum’s in-depth controls encourage experimentation to take drum tracks far beyond the norm.

Up to 12 elements can be used in total between analog and digital sounds, with 11-voice polyphony available. Together, these analog and PCM sounds suit the widest genres of music and musicians, and a variety of live scenarios.

UNO Drum’s 100 pre-programmed and fully editable drum kit presets and patterns make it a first in its class. This makes it easier and faster for users to find an inspiring kit they can experiment with or tweak to create the perfect groove. All sounds made on UNO Drum can be stored and recalled on the fly.

Top panel editing controls allow for adjustment of key parameters of each sound, just like UNO Synth. For added punch and sound character that stands out in a mix, UNO Drum also offers three master effects: Drive (audio), Stutter (MIDI), and Compressor (audio).

UNO Drum offers 12 touch-sensitive pads with two velocity zones, for more expressive live playing and easier programming. They can be used to play entire beats live with a pad-style feel, or to easily add live flare on top of pre-programmed rhythms.

A 64-step sequencer allows users to program in patterns one step at a time, using the 16 buttons across the bottom of the panel, or recording a pattern in real-time. Up to eight parameters can be automated per step to add even more variation and feel to their grooves. The Song mode lets users chain up to 64 patterns together to create extended grooves.

Weighing only 400g, UNO Drum is super lightweight and small enough to fit in a backpack, yet sturdy enough to hit the road near and far away.

I want to hate IK and I've avoided UNO but.. Those videos sold me both UNO and Drum... Damn..

Yeh....not sure I would call that membrane interface "pads"...even less sure that I would like them for making beats on....still less sure as to how durable they would be for a full on finger drummer.

Still, on first listen it sounds better than the shite from Arturia, so might be worth hooking up to an MPD for live drumming.

Only one mono output? No thanks.

Sorry to hear this is a big issue for you. We know there is interest in a multi-output drum machine too, but we did choose this output for certain reasons. This mono-summed output (similar to UNO Synth - and people love the way it sounds) was not only to bring an affordable drum machine to anyone interested in making music, at a price point under most multi-output drum machines (which normally start around $499+ just for stereo output) and is similar to vintage drum machines which is what UNO Drum is after (while adding more performance and programming power still at a low price).

Thanks for the kind words. Note the keys are not membrane buttons. UNO Drum uses capsense touch sensitivity not physical buttons. You are correct that you can also use another controller if the portable capsense pad interface is not the best fit for your workflow.

Interesting. Is there a VST plugin planned for recall/editing as UNO synth?

Not an issue.. Just solo and record loops one by one.

You can't adjust the volume of a single track straight from the unit?

There are plans to, yes, but not likely at launch time.

set vol/pan/fx etc on each instrument, as per normal?

[vurt]

well, definitely no pan on a mono out

The level of each element can be controlled by the level knob. It is the covered very early in the editing video:

In terms of the onboard sounds. Are some of the kits emulating any of the classic Roland/Korg/Simmons etc. boxes?
