Product Description

The UNO Drum from IK Multimedia is, as you may have guessed, based on the hugely popular UNO synth formula. They’ve taken the familiar compact enclosure, circuit-board-style user interface and analog sound engine, and transformed it into a powerful programmable drum machine. Groovy.

Key features

  • True analog drum machine engine plus 12 PCM voices
  • 12 wo-velocity pads and 4 dynamic encoders
  • Save & recall 100 kits and 100 patterns
  • Powerful 64-step sequencer
  • USB & MIDI 2.5mm integration
  • Powered by USB or 4 x AA batteries

12 punchy drum elements

The UNO drum combines analog sound with PCM (playback samples) technology. The kicks, snares, claps and hi-hat sounds are totally analog, designed by Soundmachines; think 808/909-style fatness that’ll cut up any mix with ease.

Next up, the 54 tom, rim, coach, ride and cowbell PCM samples are derived from SampleTank 4. This variety of samples allow you to add colour and dynamics to your beats; go for ‘80s retro or abstract trip-hop, the choice is yours. 11-voice polyphony means you can weave thumping beats and intricate textures without the UNO drum breaking a sweat!

Playable and programmable

The 12 touch-sensitive dual-velocity pads and the 16 sequencer buttons form the central focus of the user interface. Record steps in real-time or program gradually – you get the best of both worlds. Stutter, random and roll controls allow you twist your beats and add a little bit of flair for new sections; you also get full control over a huge number of parameters, including level, tune, decay and much more.

Despite its tiny size, the UNO drum is armed with a whopping 64-step sequencer. It doesn’t end there though; 8-parameter automation per step, 100 pattern user presets and 100 kit user presets allow you really make the UNO drum your own.

All good but needs a mains filter audio processor (which is less than £10) otherwise I love it. It’s perfect for getting pattern inspiration especially when using the random mode. Most importantly it’s standalone so doesn’t need you to power up your computer, mixer and everything else that gets in the way of putting ideas down quickly.

Great little drum machine, ignore what you hear about "noise" just get a £5 ground loop isolator off ebay. The software package you get from IK makes this well worth the price. Not a big fan of capacative touch myself but this handles it well and having that compressor on there is great. Ultra-portable, great fx, solid sequencer and song mode and loads of great libraries free from IK. 7/10

Excellent drum machine giving both samples and analogue sounds which you can adjust. Very easy to switch on and hook up to midi and start playing with. In a perfect world it would have a larger range of sampled percussion, plus a start/stop pedal socket. However, at the price, a really good buy.

I’ve seen some negative reviews of this Drum machine but in my view it is excellent for my needs and any musical style, the app makes editing easy and the analogue sounds are great not really a performance machine due to the pads but a programmers dream
