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).

KORG - MODWAVE

It's some kind of a reminisence, to the DW - 8000 by Korg.

The DW - 8000 was based, on digital waveforms. Unlike the Modwave, they can't be played dynamically like the wavetables of this new instrument. But they're implemented, in the Modwave.

The DW - 8000 had only sixteen waveforms. The Modwave is containing more then 200 wavetables, with up to sixtyfour waves. You can import custom wavetables.

It's a polyphonic instrument (32 voices), with two oscillator (us sub - oscillator), two layer, motion sequencing (four lanes), four envelopes, dual modulation - processor, a lot of different filter - types, an inbuilt sample - library, five LFO, a playful x / y - controller (Kaoss Physics), more than 30 modifier, thirteen morphing - algorithm, phase - synchronised wavetable - blending (A / B Blend) and a lot of effects.

Specification:
°32 voices (stereo).
°2 layer.
°4 envelopes.
°5 LFO.
°2 mod - processor.
°2 key - track.
°Seq Lanes (A - D).
°Step pulse.
°Tempo.
°Program - / performance note - count.
°Program / performance voice - count.
°Poly legato.
°Velocity.
°Exponential - velocity.
°Release - velocity.
°Gate.
°Gate + damper.
°Note - on trigger.
°Note - on trigger + damper. °Note - number.
°Aftertouch and poly - aftertouch (external MIDI only).
°Pre - FX (decimator, graphic EQ, guitar - amp, modern compressor, parametric EQ, red compressor, ring - modulator, tremolo, wave - shaper).
°Mod - FX (black chorus / flanger, black phase, CX - 3 vibrato chorus, EP chorus, harmonic chorus, modern chorus, modern phaser, orange phase, Polysix - ensemble, small phase, talking modulator, vintage chorus, vintage flanger, vintage / custom wah, vox wah).
°Delay (L / C / R delay, multiband mod delay, reverse delay, stereo / cross delay, tape echo).
°Master reverb (early reflections, overb).
°Master EQ (4 - band parametric EQ).
°Filter types (MS - 20 LP or HP, Polysix LP, full collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole LO, HP, B, and Band Reject filter, multi - filter).

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:

°Bi - polar filter - envelope amount.
Two 5 - stage envelope - generator (ADSR + delay), with variable routing (filter, amplifier, auxiliary).
°Velocity - modulation, of each envelope - amount.
°Envelopes freely assignable, to multiple modulation - destinations.
°Five wave - shapes: Triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square and random (sample and hold).

Waldorf - M

Waldorf is continuing, the Microwave - series. In a contemporary sound - and form - factor. And the new wavetable - hybrid, is just called M.

It's a desktop - unit, without any keys and it seems it can be rack - mounted.

The M has a polyphony of eight voices and a multi - timbrality of for parts, which can be routed to separated outputs.

Each voice is using, two wavetable with independant wavetable generating - modes. There is the Microwave 1 - and the Microwave 2 / XT - mode.

The 24 dB / oct - filter is a analog circuit, also the stereo - VCA, that can be panned.

It has two LFO, three flexible multi - segment envelopes, and an arpeggiator which can be synced to MIDI - clock.

96 factory - wavetable and 32 user - wavetable.

2048 sound - and 128 multi - programs, can be stored.

SD - card slot, for exchanging sound - banks and wavetables.

USB - and DIN - connections, for MIDI.

And a graphics - capable display.

There is no such thing, like a modulation - matrix.
