IK Multimedia UNO Drum Ultra-Compact Analog/PCM Drum Machine

For musicians, producers, and DJs seeking a compact yet powerful beat creation tool, the UNO Drum Ultra-Compact Analog/PCM Drum Machine is a game-changer. This ultra-portable, fully programmable drum machine is designed to deliver warm, punchy, high-quality grooves, making it an indispensable addition to your music production arsenal.

Crafted in collaboration with Italian analog specialists Soundmachines, the UNO Drum Machine is the successor to the acclaimed UNO Synth. It combines the richness of analog tone with the convenience and flexibility of digital technology, providing a wide sonic palette to enhance your music.

The UNO Drum Machine boasts 12 dynamic drum elements, including 6 true analog drum sounds for the richest, warmest drum sounds possible. It features two distinct kick drums, snares, claps, and hi-hats, embodying the iconic analog drum sounds that have characterized music across generations. Additionally, PCM elements with 54 samples offer additional sonic flavors, including toms, rims, cowbells, rides, and crash cymbals, enabling you to create complex, unique, and full rhythm tracks.

With the UNO Drum Machine, you can utilize up to 12 elements in total between analog and digital sounds, with an 11 voice polyphony. It comes pre-programmed with 100 drum kit presets, all of which are fully editable. You can easily find an IK inspired kit that catches your ear, tweak it to fit your taste, or create your custom kits from scratch.

The UNO Drum Machine also offers three master effects: analog drive, compressor, and a stutter effect. The drive can be turned up to give your grooves an aggressive edge, while the compressor can be used to make your tracks tighter, adding a fat and heavy punch. The stutter effect offers adjustable depth, from subtle tremolos to full-on slices, to create different feeling sounds and grooves.

This drum machine is designed for ease of use and performance. It features 12 touch-sensitive pads with two velocity zones for more expressive live playing and easier programming. These pads can be used to play entire beats live with a pad-style feel, or to easily add your own live flare on top of pre-programmed rhythms.

The UNO Drum Machine is fully programmable to suit your style. Its step sequencer shows 16 steps and 4 pages, allowing you to automate up to 8 parameters per step for radically different sounds on each beat. It also features a Song mode that allows you to chain up to 64 patterns together to create extended grooves.

The UNO Drum Machine integrates seamlessly in any live, studio, or mobile setup. It offers USB and traditional MIDI via 2.5mm jacks to integrate with both your Mac/PC and iOS device or traditional outboard MIDI gear. It also offers Audio in to daisy chain with UNO Synth or other gear.

Compact, durable, and portable, the UNO Drum Machine is designed for on-the-go music creation. It can be powered by USB, either from a computer or battery pack, or by 4 AA batteries, making it an ideal choice for musicians and producers who need to create music anywhere and everywhere.
