Here's what IK Multimedia say about the UNO True Analogue Synth
UNO Synth is the ultimate portable, monophonic, true analog synthesizer and IK Multimedias entry in the hardware synthesizer world.
We combined our two decades of experience in software and hardware development with the expertise of Italian boutique synth-maker Soundmachines and IKs synth guru, Erik Norlander (one of the brains behind acclaimed synths like the Alesis Andromeda). The result is a no-compromise instrument with massive analog sound thats also easy to use with hands-on programmability and advanced features at an unbeatable price.
The days of compromise are over. Now everyone can own a real analog synth with professional sound. And UNO Synth is proudly made in IKs own Italian manufacturing facility to ensure the highest quality standards. Like the majority of IK hardware products, UNO Synth is built using a combination of IKs state-of-the-art, automated mounting machines and test systems and fine, renowned Italian craftsmanship.

With both classic and modern synth sounds instantly at hand, UNO will put a smile on the face of synth fans of every musical genre. All this in a synth module that can be easily carried anywhere.
