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).

NOVATION - CIRCUIT TRACKS

The Circuit Tracks, by Novation, is available now.

It's an groovebox, with two polyphonic synthesizer - tracks, four drum - tracks and two polyphonic MIDI - tracks, to control external instruments.

The internal sounds are digitally generated, but you can load samples via micro SD - card.

The sequencer is allowing, to create pattern with 32 steps, which can be chained to sequences with up to 256 steps.

The Circuit Tracks has in - built effects (reverb / delay), is allowing micro - timing, propability and "pattern mutate".

Also, audio - input and an rechargeable built - in battery.

There are three "classic" MIDI - connections (DIN / 5 - pole). MIDI - in / - out / - thru, which very cool.

But, the Circuit Tracks, can be powered only through USB, which is not so cool.

The Circuit Tracks, can be edited through a synth - editor, using a computer.

Specification:
°2 polyphonic sequencer - tracks.
°4 drum - tracks.
°2 MIDI - tracks.

Behringer - LMDrum

Behringer has confirmed, that they are working on a clone, of the famous LinnDrum by Linn Electronics.

Like the original machine, the LMDrum is generating it's sounds an a digital basis, using sampled material.

In contrast to the original, the LMDrum, has the ability to process it's own samples. It's not clear, if samples can be imported, but we can see a recording - input on the back of the LMDrum.

As the development is still in progress somehow, we have to wait for the definitive specifications.

Behringer - RD 8 Mk 2

Behringer
was showing, a second version, of their RD - 8.

They have implemented, a recreation of the BA 662 - chip, which was original created by Roland. The chip is built by Coolaudio, which is also a part of Music Tribe. Behringer is saying, that the sound, of the RD - 8, will be more authentic now.

And Behringer was adding, a few sequencer - features, for a better live - performance. Such as, recording in pattern - launch mode and changing songs, without stopping the RD - 8.

Here is the product - page, at Behringers website.

Shipping, will begin immediately.

Sequential - Take 5

There was a leak, at a belgium webshop, which was showing a new instrument by Sequential.

It has a full - sized keyboard, of three and a half octave and it's named Take 5.

Seems like it has a polyphony of five voices and it's oscillator are analog.

We can see two oscillator and one sub - oscillator, per voice.

Two envelopes, one LFO (plus one global LFO), mixer - section, filter with resonance and drive, oscillator - sync and FM, modulation - assignment, glide, unison, overdrive, step - sequencer, clock - generator, arpeggiator, MIDI, mod - and pitch - wheel and patch - storage.

And there is Sequential's vintage - button.

The casing - design, of the Take 5, is coming from the same line as the Pro 3.

Price will be, most probably, a few bugs above €1000.

Sequential - Take 5

Now, that the Take 5 is revealed, we know that it is an analog (oscillator, filter, amp. Envelopes are digital - controlled), with a polyphony of five.

The Take 5 has no multi - timbrality. The polyphonic step - sequencer is providing just 64 steps. And there are only 128 user - patch memory - places.

Some cool specs are the variable wave - shape (except sub - oscillator), oscillator - sync, FM, 5 - stage envelopes, self - resonating filter, configurable unison - mode (1 to 5 voices), modulation - matrix (16 slots), digital - effects and an overdrive - circuit.

Also nice, is the factory - mode (or non - factory mode). Using a switch, all parameter are using the front - panel settings.

The Take 5 has the so called vintage - knob, which is producing parameter - variation, so the different voices don't sound exactly the same.

And it is coming with a complete MIDI - trio (in / out / thru) of 5 - pole sockets.

Specifications:
°Two analog VCO, per voice.
°Continuously variable wave - shape (sine, sawtooth, variable - width pulse), per oscillator.
