NORAND - MONO

The Mono is, you guess it, a monophonic synthesizer, with two oscillator (continuously variable waveform), and ADSR - envelope, three - pole filter (multi - mode), an sequencer and interesting modulation - capabilities (x - envelopes, x - modulation).

The x - envelopes and the x - modulation, are available for every parameter. X - envelope is a AD - envelope and the x - mod is a frequency - generator, which can be running in three different modes (LFO, synced LFO, audio - rate).

The Mono can perform frequency - modulation and oscillator - sync.

You can use a key - follow function, to control the filter and the filter can be, also, modulated by the main - envelope (ADSR) and continuously fade from band - to low - to high - pass.

The sequencer has up to 64 steps and is allowing, to program, microshift, ratchet and probability for every step. There is accent, slide and swing. The randomizer can used for parameter or sequences. And "..each step can hold up to 48 parameter offsets..". Also, parts of a pattern can be looped temporarily.

You have MIDI (in, out, thru), USB, CV and gate (out), analog - clock input (sync, reset) and an accent - output.

Oh, and the Mono is an analog synthesizer.

Specs:
°Analog oscillator.
°Continuously variable waveform.
°Thru - zero frequency - modulation.
°Hard - sync.
°Filter - overdrive.
°3 - pole multi - mode filter.
°Continuously variable filter - color.
°Main ADSR - envelope.
°Dedicated AD - envelopes (attack - decay segment from 10us to 20s).
°Dedicated modulator (4 waveforms: free / synced / audio - rate).
°Up to 64 step, per pattern.
°Individual length - / scale - / beat - division, per pattern.
°Individual microshift / ratchet / probability, per step.
°Per step parameter automation (offsets).
°Swing / slide / accent.
°Copy / paste anything.
°Undo / redo anything with 1024 events history.
°Mod - note mode.
°Fast, clock independent project load - / save - function.
°Quandtized note - randomizer.
°Ranged parameter - automation randomizer.
°Step - randomizer.
°Mod note - randomizer.
°Microshift - / probability - / ratchet - randomizer.
°32 projects.
°64 patterns, with patch - memory per project.
°3200 parameter - automation per pattern.
°40 mod - note per project.

OXI - ONE

The One, by Oxi Instruments, is looking like a powerful tool.

It has eight CV / Gate - output, one CV - in, MIDI (TRS, USB, Bluetooth LE), MIDI - routing to CV (converter), clock - in and - out, LFO, glide, arpeggiator, randomization, scales and selectable root - note, swing, different playback - directions, CC - mod, chord - function, eight voices per step, a variety of parameter per step, display and more.

But, some basic specifications, aren't made clear.

The Website, is declaring the One, as a device with "..4 fully configurable sequences..", but using a specific mode, it will generate eight tracks and the ability to "..unlock thirtytwo tracks.." using MIDI - output.

So, not sure about the terms sequence and track.

Also, the specs - sheet, is talking about "..64 steps per sequence..", while a bit later the website is mentioning "..up to 128 steps per sequence..".

So, please check out the website, to read more about the specifications and possibilities.

Price: €600. Or €400, for "..the first backers in our upcoming launching campaign.".

KORG - SQ 64

Four tracks, which are polyphonic and polyrhythmic, can be played in different directions and in random - or stochastic - mode.

Three, of them, are melodic - sequences. The fourth track, is dedicated to drum - sequences and has sixteen sub - tracks.

Of course, the melody tracks are only polyphonic, if connected to a MIDI - instrument (eight voices). CV / Gate, can only send one note at a time.

Korg was giving the SQ - 64 sixtyfour steps, sixteen pattern, MIDI - in and two MIDI - out, also USB (including power and MIDI), analog - sync, CV / Gate and modulation - connections, eight trigger - out (drums) and a sync - connection.

And, there is an arpeggiator.

One MIDI - out, can be configured to be a MIDI - thru.

All connections, except the USB - connection (micro, Typ B) are 3.5mm jacks.

The 64 pads can be used as a regular keyboard or in isomorphic - or octave -mode and they've graduated lighting.

A power - adapter, will be available, separately or you can use the USB - socket for power - connection.

The SQ - 64, will be available, in 2021.

Price: €299

IK MULTIMEDIA - UNO SYNTH PRO

The little UNO Synth, has grown up and transformed (in two different versions).

More oscillator, more filter, more sequencer, more effects, more LFO, more storage, more connections.

The UNO Synth Pro has three oscillator, an additional LP - filter, an additional LFO, 64 - step sequencer (instead of 16), twelve effects (3 slots), a modulation - matrix (16 slots), 256 preset - storages, CV / Gate - connections.

The UNO Synth Pro, is coming in two versions.

Technically almost identical, is the "desktop" - version build from plastic (the "regular" one, is a combination of plastic and metal) and has capacitive touch - keys. The bigger one, is using a keyboard, build by Fatar.

Using both filter, twentyfour combinations are possible.

The MIDI - input and - out are now DIN (5 - pole). That's great.

CV / Gate can be connected in both ways (in and out).

The UNO Synth Pro can be powered by a PSU. Very nice.

The desktop - version, can only be powered through USB.

Specs:
°Three discrete wave - morphing oscillator.
°PWM, sync, FM and ring - modulation.
°Dual - state variable filter with 24 modes.
°OTA - filter
°SSI - based filter, with self - oscillation.
°16 - slot modulation matrix.
°256 user - editable presets.
°12 studio - quality FX, in 3 slots.
°Reverbs, delays, modulation.
°64 - step sequencer, with 84 parameter.
°10 - mode onboard arpeggiator.
°USB / MIDI / CV / Gate in / out.
°Audio - input through filter, fx or pass - through.
°Compact, stage - ready keyboard (37 keys) with aftertouch.
°Ultra - portable, 32 capacitive - key tabletop (UNO Synth Pro Desktop).

Price: €488 (desktop) or €729 (regular).
