IK Multimedia - UNO DRUM

Description

UNO Drum offers 6 true analog drum sounds for the warmest, richest, and most dynamic drum sounds possible. This includes 2 different kick drums, snares, claps, and hi-hats- the core kit that characterizes the most iconic analog drum sounds of all time.
Plus, added PCM elements (with 54 samples to choose from) are available for additional sonic flavors. Toms, rims, cowbells, rides, and crash cymbals help you create complex, unique, and full rhythm tracks. UNO Drum lets you use up to 12 elements in total between analog and digital sounds (11 voice polyphony).
All of the above can be stored and recalled on the fly with 100 drum kit presets, all pre-programmed and fully editable at your leisure. Its a breeze to find an IK inspired kit that catches your ear and tweak to fit your taste, or create your custom kits from scratch. Make something you like and save and store for later use- UNO Drum is ready to recall your beats whenever you are.

Wider Sonic Palette
UNO Drum lets you freely swap analog and digital elements, so you never have to feel limited by pre-set combinations. Between the analog engine designed by SoundMachines and samples drawn from IKs award-winning SampleTank sound & groove workstation, the diverse collection of sounds encourages fresh ideas and unique creation.

Easy to Use and Perform
12 touch-sensitive pads line the center of UNO Drum, offering two velocity zones for more expressive live playing and easier programming. These 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.
These pads are also used to select the individual elements of your drum patterns. Press each element to edit the parameters for that specific drum sound to tweak your sounds in real-time as your patterns play.
Listen to your tracks evolve, build tension towards a drop, go lo-fi for a break, and more.

Switch up your performance every time you play with UNOs 5 performance effects: Roll, Fill, Random, Swing and Humanize, and use the master stutter effect to chop up your entire groove.
STUTTER offers adjustable depth, from subtle tremolos to full-on slices to create different feeling sounds and grooves.
ROLL makes it easy to add tension in your tracks, letting one drum roll in 8th notes, 8-note triplets, 16th notes, and 32nd notes. Build towards an epic drop, or end with one of 4 different fills.
RANDOM adds a fresh spark by creating a new pattern to the element selected, for unexpected surprises within every performance.

*USB power has inherent ground noise, so when connecting the UNO Drum directly to your computer via USB, you may hear more noise and interference than when the synth is connected to a USB wall charger or running via batteries. With the direct computer connection, you can reduce the USB ground noise and other interference by either using a USB isolator or a custom TRS cable into a balanced input on your preamp or audio interface where the ground is not connected at the balanced input side.
