Hey Ziv, I wanted to highlight something very quickly. You know in recent events what has happened and how you handled this is just such a tactful way of doing what you do. You have always had a very balanced approach and this is why I watch your videos like a hawk (not always able to get through in one viewing as there is a ton of info). I bought the Polyend SEQ based on your breakdown, there was nothing like it when it was released, still nothing like it today. So your influence remains something that speaks volumes and people do listen with keen ears. The way you handled the whole fiasco was a pleasure to read, the decorum was one of the upmost professionalism and could only be seen with admiration. This is why your channel is so successful, you have an uncanny way of presenting things, even when they're negative, with a positive light. That cool calm and collected voice of yours, gives reason when what happened, was handled the way you did, even leaving an open invitation in the end. I can only say thank you for doing what you did, you have many supporters and probably gaining more from your ability to handle this with panache`. Kudos.
This is a very complete and nice sounding desktop synth for its price. Also i'm glad that UNO changed the design from the previous unit. I'm glad when a company reads our feedback. Nice video btw, as always!!.
@@luminouscloud1269 No. But i would love to see a multitimbral analog synth in this size, with this controls and in this price range. There is none that i know of.
I stopped caring about new synth reviews and walk-throughs a while ago but the narative framing with the well-known "baba-song" was epic, very skillful to draw attention. Kudos.
I have Uno Synth Pro (desktop)... I love sound of the morphing oscillators and filters on this device, access to all option is quite easy already in older version so the added knobs are not necessarilysomething that can convince me to upgrading. What I like: - powering it through dedicated power supply is definitely better for level of noise - additional "Link" function for filters - there is also something described as "Tracking" - it also not exist in the previous version of synth - I think I don't have "Loop" function on Env in the older Uno Synth Pro - there is also added "Bassline" which is also something new - I like you can modify 3 oscillators at the same time. - third envelope What I don't like: - buttons for sequencer are much bigger than buttons for "keyboard" - "keyboard" is very limited and the range of keys is smaller than in the previous version of synth - overall the access is much faster to many options (because of multiple buttons/knobs) but I have strange feeling that the older version was more logical designed and easier to learn - there is no "modwheel" or "pitchweel" in the newer version
ha no please don't try to read into intonation but rather listen to what I say. I am indeed excited personally about the dual filters and the interface overall, but please do watch the pros and cons and listen to the sounds to judge for yourself
Very impressive at this price point! I love to see options in the sub-$600 price range. For those infected with the addiction, this is a sweet spot. We can add something like this to a boutique setup and not break the bank or attract too much attention to our habits.
Thanks for the review! I was always intrigued by the Uno Synth Pro, this one looks like it builds on its predecessor nicely and I dig the loss of the control matrix in favour of more dedicated knobs
Almost got the earlier Uno for my first synth but the menu diving kept me away. Adding more knobs for a more friendly experience has me jumping in so the redesign payed off! Love the sounds and portability and in the end is what its all about.
Definitely the media blitz is on for this - good luck to them. At the price (as mentioned) Minifreak, Deepmind 6, and Hydrasynth Explorer are all just $100 more if buying new. The superb less mentioned SE-02 is $50 less and there are many choices quite a bit less is patch storage and onboard effects are not needed/wanted.
@@patsalty it and this are both too small in general for my personal taste. Roland called the shots on those aspects once SE provided the voice architecture so there were always going to be too many corners cut. Dumb. While it is recognized by more than a few for how good it is imagine if they had also offered a full size with a quality 4 octave keybed, the EXT Box features built in, and a full set of CV I/O on the right like the desktop Moogs. For around $1k they would not have been able to make enough of them with the 2016 "real deal" ending that limited run around then.
Before even watching I know that this review would be complete in-depth and full of details and best of possible! As always thanks for your effort Loopop❤
If I hadn't already bought the desktop pro in a summer sale for half of what this has come out at, I'd totally buy one. The interface improvements look huge, but not enough to make me spend twice.
Has to be THE best demo intro I've ever heard! Just have to figure out how to replicate it on mine that arrived today. Too much fun! Thank you for this.
I don't know what was so difficult for me to understand, but your example of attack and decay when using multiple notes (at 6:30) finally made the difference between paraphonic and polyphonic make sense.
My UNO Synth Pro + Faderfox EC4 = UNO Synth Pro X (More or less). Does require a few hours of set up on the EC4. otherwise, zero cost to me because I already have the EC4 which I use to control Ableton and numerous hardware and software synths.
Bumbed out it doesn't have an internal battery or AA but I will still be getting this. I have the original Uno Synth Pro and though buggy, it's one of favorite synth. Please note that IK didn't release any software updates to fix bugs in the original though, hopefully they will step up on that front.
of course i bought an uno synth pro b-stock for a great price from IK 3-4 months ago, make my first ever short using it last night, and then the following morning this gets released LOL. before i bought the keyboard version, i saw various reviews from different people at different points in time saying the OG is a better deal than comparable synths by Sequential and Moog, especially considering price point... so i thought i'd give it a shot and i definitely have no regrets. i love that they did address some of the biggest issues of the OG since programming felt so finicky and cumbersome without plugging it into a PC/Mac. so this is definitely on my wishlist. thx for the ever informative reviews!
I got a b-stock too, but mine died after a month and since I got it on reverb, ik multimedia would not replace or fix it. I was out the price I paid. Not cool of them. I think it was/is their usb only power. It seems like they now have a dedicated power source. Too bad that left a bad taste in my mouth, because this looks descent.
@@teamphil before i made my purchase, i messaged them and asked if it would come with a registration code and a warranty and they said it would come with "everything a new one does." Also the keyboard version can be powered via their AC adapter and goes into a different power input.
@@jngl-jim the seller never opened it or registered it, but IK said the seller wasn’t a certified seller of their product so they weren’t covering it, even though it was an unopened and never registered b-stock. Not cool. They seem to care more about RUclipsrs than everyday consumers. It would have probably cost them little to replace my desktop pro, but now I’ll never buy from them and never recommend their products to any of my friends.
I love presets! They start at places I couldn't get to in a million years, and send me to places that I probably never would have visited. These sound pretty good, and pretty cool. The more the tweakier, I say.
Some nice improvements, particularly the interface. Nothing ground breaking, but a good feature set. Llike the Uno Synth Pro, it sounds really good. Would like to see a keyboard version with an even more expanded interface, a fully realized performance instrument.
As a big fan of the IK Multimedia's Uno Synth Pro sound and duo-filter config, this is encouraging to see...at least until I saw they won't do an X full-sized keys version. Would be curious if they fixed/updated the envelope behavior where filter envelope values are carried over to the next key press/envelope retrigger (like traditional analog mono synths), instead of 1) digitally resetting with every key press or 2) only triggering once with legato playing. That very digital behavior was really my biggest complaint about the previous version of the synth. Regardless, glad to see they're addressing some of the shortcomings other folks had. Have to admit, though I didn't mind the previous matrix SO much, I would prefer knobs.
If I understand your question correctly, yes, there's a legato mode where playing legato doesn't retrigger the envelopes (unless you turn on the retrigger setting per envelope)
That bright glassy reverb in all the presets at the end literally hurts my ears. I wonder if the reverb has an adjustable eq somewhere in the menu? ...or is that what the "filter" knob in the fx section is for.
I wish someone would create a more west coast synth in a format like this.. I have a microvolt that I adore, but it is frustrating that there is nothing with a competent sequencer like this exists. Not everyone can afford a music easel for five grand.. wavefolders are so interesting to me.. I wish they got more love like filters do.
I don't know why but I want this and the Korg Drumlogue. I think they would pair quite nicely with each other. Gotta love the fx engines on both of these machines.
I looked at the drumlogue but it reviews say it's noisy USB power. Read carefully. Normally, I would say meh to that, but after getting the Roland tr6s and finding it useless as a sound module, i would recommend buying carefully. Triggering the unit via USB is not practical.
@darinz7182 I recently bought one (Drumlogue) and I'm glad that I waited only because it allowed me to get it for $300. It's not noisy at all. It's a bit of a menu dive but if you're used to Korg products It's a quick learning curve and you can get some great sounds out of it through channel filters and other effects. So I think I will pick this synth up when my birthday gets here this summer.
Out here in the fields it will be great to play with the Who no Synth Pro. Thank you for your impressive, always helpful and in depth tuts. Who's next?
Apologies if you answered this in the video, but I searched the subtitles and didn't see a mention of it: On the envelopes (as an example), given that the knobs are pots and not encoders, what happens when you switch to a different envelope and then turn one of the ADSR knobs? Does it wait to "pick up" the patch value when the knob reaches that value, or does it immediately change the patch value to wherever the knob is pointing when you start to turn it?
That Baba O'Riley reprise is epic!!! I wrote the Unos off after the lame first one and was too busy with Eurorack. But the X seems amazing for the price. Just shot a used one today in Germany. Can't wait!
Nothing changed, some bugs are part of any digitally controlled/complex synths but now somebody is pointing them out. I still have some 90's synths with bugs that will probably never resolv and if they do, it will be by reverse engineering and changing chips, not a simple firmware update. Many companies add features and requested features by users along the years and breathe new spirit into old instruments.
Did they solve the issue with the noise that behaves different with the volume knob (80% +-) and the bugs with the filter link not saving properly + the bug not saving lfo sync(saved like a global paramter)? Did they iron out the clicky envelopes and the little frequency artefact leaking trough that occurs with snappy bass notes when held on?
Because of your video I had a look at a few other tests and I have to say that the filters sound really good. Especially the VCF resonance of the 24 db filter sounds great. So you would absolutely recommend the Pro X?
Glad it was useful! I don't absolutely recommend anything ;) I think in a way synths are like cars, there's no right one for everyone, and different features appeal to different people. What matters is what inspires you to take one for a fun ride!
Oh man, hearing the exact sound of The Who gave me chills. Looks like a great little machine. But I think I'll pass it, seeing the cheap mushy buttons that I recognise of the Korg Nano's. (Do they feel the same too?)
@loopop That kinda defeats the purpose if I want to minimize a desktop setup and want to control more machines more swiftly and efficient and at the same time. Already using a keyboard and its sequencer for other instances. I would constantly have to switch its midi channel. And to buy a very premium midi keyboard that's able to split keyboard with midi channels, would mean this synth only gets even more expensive. A machine needs to have decent controls on its own though. Workarounds shouldn't be.
You should really test all the new Behringers brotha, would love to see an in depth Behringers Edge Tutorial. Would highly highly appreciate it. Great job on the straight forward tutorials. Reminds me of back In the day, LINDA tutorials videos on everything from Adobe premier and Illustrator to Sony Vegas .Hands down the best in the early ,2000s tutorial videos. Nice job
I just don't like making the same tutorial twice ;) Edge is based on DFAM, which I already covered on the channel - so you already have my tutorial there
I understand what your saying about your DFam review, the sound on the new Behringers have a lot fuller and darker fee. Also the frequencies are fuller on the Crave as an example (I purchased the Crave because of this exact factor,) But my all time favorite comparison side by side review with sound wave comparisons hands down has to be the Mother vs CRAVE. It actually made me purchase the Crave because it performed way better for what I do; special effects and theme music for movies
So after reading all this I contacted Behringer and told them I was producing my first album as a professional audio visual producer. I mentioned that I wanted to showcase the Crave and loved it. They were very supportive of my endeavor and facilitated anything I needed. I had to share my experience with the world with proof attached is my first LP. A huge check off from my Bucket list, a huge accomplishment for the 3 months total it took. My expertise is Video Production, please let that sink in. I play for the guitar yes the bass yes since the age of 15. I honestlyn never understood these comments about a company not being friendly or cool. Didn't know people saw products or companies as such, maybe I did sorry, but never stopped to smell those roses at all. I prefer performance in my Pro equipment and yes there's brand preferences, but letting external personal feelings get in The way of expression, and clear creative thinking isn't constructive in my eyes either. So I had to test the waters myself. This is a gift to the world. Thanks @behringer #behringer y'all definitely, as I suspected, shined an immense & intense beam of motivational light my way. Music Leads the Way, Not feelings. We manifest feelings with music. Let's not loose track of that universal order and set formula. it's a Vibrational Fill we pump our souls with. In my books they treated my dream, as their own. And that's gold. Especially if I had to spend what the original Crave inspired brand cost. Point blank is: in my experience, my creative manifestation would have been out of my enthusiastic hobbys reach. Now if I were an audio engineer I may have the MOOG just because of Pink Floyd lol a huge inspiration in my life and album as well as Nicolas Jaar. Envelope pushing artists, who empty their feelings into music. Making these vibrational fills a healing process of love and nurture.

Great video...thank you. In the 'Seq transpose' section at 27:58, you mention activating the scale function....how do you activate the scale function....I can't see it in the manuals or anywhere obvious on the interface?
There was a strange feeling left from the video about this synthesizer. The skills seem to be quite good, but they look and sound a little like a toy or a VST. It doesn't feel like you're looking at a real analog beast.
These factory presets... they sure play to the synth's strength, don't they? Very interesting device, even if it seems to be a touch on the one-trick-pony side.
Hi, I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda - they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle. Occasionally I’ll use scopes by VCV
100 more expensive? Yes, with the Fatar keyboard version of the Pro. At Thomann in Germany the Pro desktop sells for 277 and the new X for 589. That's double the price!
No, the desktop version was sold for 399$ when it shipped. It's been almost 3 years since it first shipped, I don't know if you noticed but everything since then is much more expensive (New products) Also, 30 knobs instead of 8, much more buttons and 2 more effects processors has its price...
@@xfghffhfg I am talking about current prices. And because of Germany, in Euro. Current price for the desktop is € 277, not $ 399. And I know it's more hands-on and therefor more user friendly, but that is not my point. Point was the mentioning that it's $ 100 more expensive than the Uno Pro desktop, which at this moment, is not true. It's € 312 more expensive and whatever current exchange rate you throw at it, that wil always be more than 'only' $ 100. If it was only $ 100 more expensive, it would be absolutely worth it, as you say, it has much more hardware components and is way more hands-on.
@@GertBoers You wrote "That's double the price!", I understand that you meant it's not priced right so i point out why the price differs. If you just wanted to mention the price differences with no resentment to the IK set price, yes, it's double now, or triple from the first one :)
09:25 They can fine tune it they said? Well, I got the first UNO Synth and it has the same problem with oscillator bleed. After 2 iterations they still got the same problem- don't trust IK Multimedia and their quality control.
All I see in the UI is a front panel of mid 1990s gps navigation device. With fingers like I have live performance would fly out the window due to countless accidental pushes.
The OG has slowly gone down in price over the past few years and now sells for $270 USD. My hope is that the X gets below $350 (perhaps during Black Friday sales).
Damn those synths! The company never learned how to make quality devices. My UnoSyntPro burned out from a short circuit inside the bottom board and cannot be restored, but IK Multimedia says that they cannot sell the board, they do not sell it separately. I advise you to invest in a soft synth and controller, or start building a modular synth. Don't buy this crap!
Arturia was selling the affordable MicroFreak and others way before Behringer released a single synth, same goes for Korg's MS20 Mini and others including the lower cost volca line. Behringer certainly started a certain kind of new reality though doing things others never did, like making offensive videos about reporters, copying other inexpensive products 1 for 1 with no innovation (swing), and, yes, even lying about me on their facebook group and page. So, yes, many firsts.
Keep reviewing innovative products across the price spectrum, and please ignore the Company that seems only able copy legacy out of production instruments, but now also other manufacturers current products. The Pro X seems like a decent sound module for the price point. I probably don’t have room for another monosynth but as always a good review.

I would say rather minor changes. But depends on perspective... if you want to perform live wit this synth then definitely upgrade is significant.
Not when you downgrade it at the same time. I’m having a hard time seeing the upgrade past the metal enclosure and Power supply.

Their previous synths were also decent

@@thejoshuathomas yes... Not even close really.. imagine plocking a lpf... That would be dope.
this "object" looks very interesting... To be continued, for me, these days... IK are building very interesting solutions... Yes ! 👌
I don't know why but I want this and the Korg Drumlogue. I think they would pair quite nicely with each other. Gotta love the fx engines on both of these machines.
I looked at the drumlogue but it reviews say it's noisy USB power. Read carefully. Normally, I would say meh to that, but after getting the Roland tr6s and finding it useless as a sound module, i would recommend buying carefully. Triggering the unit via USB is not practical.
@darinz7182 I recently bought one (Drumlogue) and I'm glad that I waited only because it allowed me to get it for $300. It's not noisy at all. It's a bit of a menu dive but if you're used to Korg products It's a quick learning curve and you can get some great sounds out of it through channel filters and other effects.
So I think I will pick this synth up when my birthday gets here this summer.
Out here in the fields it will be great to play with the Who no Synth Pro. Thank you for your impressive, always helpful and in depth tuts. Who's next?
😉
Looks like an intersecting instrument. A lot more exciting than the recently released and successful Behringer Pro-800, that I could not keep…
Apologies if you answered this in the video, but I searched the subtitles and didn't see a mention of it: On the envelopes (as an example), given that the knobs are pots and not encoders, what happens when you switch to a different envelope and then turn one of the ADSR knobs? Does it wait to "pick up" the patch value when the knob reaches that value, or does it immediately change the patch value to wherever the knob is pointing when you start to turn it?
you can choose one of three modes - relative, passthru or immediate changes (the default)
That Baba O'Riley reprise is epic!!!
I wrote the Unos off after the lame first one and was too busy with Eurorack. But the X seems amazing for the price. Just shot a used one today in Germany. Can't wait!
No one mentioned your beautiful rendition of teenage wasteland 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
That’s the first ik synth that looks decent imo. Nice progress ik 👍🏼
I feel like these companies keep us in perpetual BETA-Tester-Mode. #Consumerism #IKMultimedia #V2MK3ProXDeluxe
Nothing changed, some bugs are part of any digitally controlled/complex synths but now somebody is pointing them out. I still have some 90's synths with bugs that will probably never resolv and if they do, it will be by reverse engineering and changing chips, not a simple firmware update. Many companies add features and requested features by users along the years and breathe new spirit into old instruments.
Those presets sure are leaning on the reverb.
A very epic intro for a great tutorial! ✌️🐸👍
Ohhhhh jus tuned in:) watching now! Excited
Did they solve the issue with the noise that behaves different with the volume knob (80% +-) and the bugs with the filter link not saving properly + the bug not saving lfo sync(saved like a global paramter)?
Did they iron out the clicky envelopes and the little frequency artefact leaking trough that occurs with snappy bass notes when held on?
Its a new synth so different firmware
Is there any hope that a UNO DRUM PRO will arrive as well?
Yes, would love to see that
Because of your video I had a look at a few other tests and I have to say that the filters sound really good. Especially the VCF resonance of the 24 db filter sounds great. So you would absolutely recommend the Pro X?
Glad it was useful! I don't absolutely recommend anything ;) I think in a way synths are like cars, there's no right one for everyone, and different features appeal to different people. What matters is what inspires you to take one for a fun ride!
How does it compare to the Norand? From RUclips vids I think the sound is perhaps better, but the modulation control on the Norand seems good?
Brilliant review as usual 👌🏼
reckon they're planning probability, time divisions, or preset lock per step? or is that not on the cards?
Thanks for previewing the presets!
I love those little screens! I wish it was on the Roland S-1, it would make that little synth perfect.
Go with the Roland SH-4d
Thank you, the demo was very helpful!
Your videos are wonderful
Just love the arp on this ...
Oh man, hearing the exact sound of The Who gave me chills. Looks like a great little machine. But I think I'll pass it, seeing the cheap mushy buttons that I recognise of the Korg Nano's. (Do they feel the same too?)
You don't have a good midi keyboard?
The built-in keyboard is for sequencing/"emergency playing only" - you really want to connect a keyboard to this to play it properly
@loopop That kinda defeats the purpose if I want to minimize a desktop setup and want to control more machines more swiftly and efficient and at the same time. Already using a keyboard and its sequencer for other instances. I would constantly have to switch its midi channel.
And to buy a very premium midi keyboard that's able to split keyboard with midi channels, would mean this synth only gets even more expensive.
A machine needs to have decent controls on its own though. Workarounds shouldn't be.
@@PANTA-Music There's an entire industry that begs to differ, but I understand that it might not fit your specific preferred workflow.
@@PANTA-Music many desktop synths don’t have keyboards at all - but yes, it is what it is
Baba o Riley str8 out the gate! 🔥
You should really test all the new Behringers brotha, would love to see an in depth Behringers Edge Tutorial. Would highly highly appreciate it.
Great job on the straight forward tutorials. Reminds me of back In the day, LINDA tutorials videos on everything from Adobe premier and Illustrator to Sony Vegas .Hands down the best in the early ,2000s tutorial videos. Nice job
If Behringer had a reputation for behaving like nice folks instead of behaving like turds they'd get a lot more nice press.
I just don't like making the same tutorial twice ;) Edge is based on DFAM, which I already covered on the channel - so you already have my tutorial there
I understand what your saying about your DFam review, the sound on the new Behringers have a lot fuller and darker fee. Also the frequencies are fuller on the Crave as an example (I purchased the Crave because of this exact factor,)
But my all time favorite comparison side by side review with sound wave comparisons hands down has to be the Mother vs CRAVE.
It actually made me purchase the Crave because it performed way better for what I do; special effects and theme music for movies
So after reading all this I contacted Behringer and told them I was producing my first album as a professional audio visual producer. I mentioned that I wanted to showcase the Crave and loved it. They were very supportive of my endeavor and facilitated anything I needed.
I had to share my experience with the world with proof attached is my first LP. A huge check off from my Bucket list, a huge accomplishment for the 3 months total it took. My expertise is Video Production, please let that sink in. I play for the guitar yes the bass yes since the age of 15.
I honestlyn never understood these comments about a company not being friendly or cool. Didn't know people saw products or companies as such, maybe I did sorry, but never stopped to smell those roses at all. I prefer performance in my Pro equipment and yes there's brand preferences, but letting external personal feelings get in The way of expression, and clear creative thinking isn't constructive in my eyes either. So I had to test the waters myself.
This is a gift to the world.
Thanks @behringer #behringer
y'all definitely, as I suspected, shined an immense & intense beam of motivational light my way.
Music Leads the Way, Not feelings. We manifest feelings with music. Let's not loose track of that universal order and set formula.
it's a Vibrational Fill we pump our souls with.
In my books they treated my dream, as their own. And that's gold. Especially if I had to spend what the original Crave inspired brand cost. Point blank is: in my experience, my creative manifestation would have been out of my enthusiastic hobbys reach. Now if I were an audio engineer I may have the MOOG just because of Pink Floyd lol a huge inspiration in my life and album as well as Nicolas Jaar. Envelope pushing artists, who empty their feelings into music. Making these vibrational fills a healing process of love and nurture.
Thank you #behringer

@@JeanPierre-Casaubon And loopop gets stick for being a shill.
Great video...thank you. In the 'Seq transpose' section at 27:58, you mention activating the scale function....how do you activate the scale function....I can't see it in the manuals or anywhere obvious on the interface?
Thanks! It's in the settings menu
@@loopopThank you!
Q. sequencer:
1. pattern chaining
2. song mode
3. probability of steps?
4. ratchet of notes?
No to all
Did the song mode go away with Uno Synth Pro X?
There was a strange feeling left from the video about this synthesizer. The skills seem to be quite good, but they look and sound a little like a toy or a VST. It doesn't feel like you're looking at a real analog beast.
Not enough fake wood for you?
I returned mine, didnt like the sound at all, any behringer mono synth sounds better and fatter
is there a keyboard version incoming?
kinda Synton Syrinx pocketsize. Very cool .
These factory presets... they sure play to the synth's strength, don't they?
Very interesting device, even if it seems to be a touch on the one-trick-pony side.
I mean I think a Roland S-1 sounds better or a SE-02 and why wouldn’t they keep song mode
Have they added song mode yet?
out here in the fields!
Best intro ever!
This thing is gonna be on a lot of desks
Love the Who intro :)!
Have you had any trouble selecting the sequencer page?
Not at all
The bleed over and drift stuff in the semi beginning of this should be an option...sounds like a mistake that could be a vintage vibe setting
Damn, hit that who baba Oriley 😂
I love this cheap lil Synth but I’m waiting to catch one for 300 wish the build was better
I'm thinking about thinking to get it right away before prices go up😅
With these big sounds it would be awesome if they’d released a poly version.
The hydrasynth explorer you suggested at the end is here in Germany actually cheaper than the Synth Pro X not more expensive.
Sounds great! 👍
It's not cheaper. At least not at Thomann.
Hydrasynth would be more interesting imo
@@stjepan_8902 The hydrasynth explorer was 500 and the uno x 530€ back then.

Ok. Shut up and take my money 💴
are you pitching your voice down in this video? I had to x1.25 for your voice to sound normal
No… maybe it’s some odd RUclips bug
What is that software with which you monitor the sound waves?
Hi, I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda - they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle. Occasionally I’ll use scopes by VCV
@@loopop, thank you! 🙂
Beautiful. I’m interested.
100 more expensive? Yes, with the Fatar keyboard version of the Pro. At Thomann in Germany the Pro desktop sells for 277 and the new X for 589. That's double the price!
No, the desktop version was sold for 399$ when it shipped.
It's been almost 3 years since it first shipped, I don't know if you noticed but everything since then is much more expensive (New products)
Also, 30 knobs instead of 8, much more buttons and 2 more effects processors has its price...
@@xfghffhfg I am talking about current prices. And because of Germany, in Euro. Current price for the desktop is € 277, not $ 399.
And I know it's more hands-on and therefor more user friendly, but that is not my point. Point was the mentioning that it's $ 100 more expensive than the Uno Pro desktop, which at this moment, is not true. It's € 312 more expensive and whatever current exchange rate you throw at it, that wil always be more than 'only' $ 100.
If it was only $ 100 more expensive, it would be absolutely worth it, as you say, it has much more hardware components and is way more hands-on.
@@GertBoers You wrote "That's double the price!", I understand that you meant it's not priced right so i point out why the price differs. If you just wanted to mention the price differences with no resentment to the IK set price, yes, it's double now, or triple from the first one :)
09:25 They can fine tune it they said? Well, I got the first UNO Synth and it has the same problem with oscillator bleed. After 2 iterations they still got the same problem- don't trust IK Multimedia and their quality control.
All I see in the UI is a front panel of mid 1990s gps navigation device. With fingers like I have live performance would fly out the window due to countless accidental pushes.
Great review and a great version of 'Baba' .Pete would love it.
Thanks!
Really amazing, and the X sounds so great with it.
@@loopopits like halfway between The Who and the Pet Shop Boys cover of "Where the streets have no name"
The OG has slowly gone down in price over the past few years and now sells for $270 USD. My hope is that the X gets below $350 (perhaps during Black Friday sales).
Not like the new Rolmart desktop synths, it looks more real.
hey... CSI is on.... :)
Damn those synths! The company never learned how to make quality devices. My UnoSyntPro burned out from a short circuit inside the bottom board and cannot be restored, but IK Multimedia says that they cannot sell the board, they do not sell it separately. I advise you to invest in a soft synth and controller, or start building a modular synth. Don't buy this crap!
Why not send it to repair?
Sound poor and plastic, with so much reverb. With developers like IK, I prefer still on VST's... Thanks for an extensive review.

Rien de mieux qu'un potentiomètre pour travailler!
Fun intro to recreate :P
For sure!
This proves that, we have been paying way to much for Synthesizers Over the years, way to much. Behringer really started this reality.
Arturia was selling the affordable MicroFreak and others way before Behringer released a single synth, same goes for Korg's MS20 Mini and others including the lower cost volca line. Behringer certainly started a certain kind of new reality though doing things others never did, like making offensive videos about reporters, copying other inexpensive products 1 for 1 with no innovation (swing), and, yes, even lying about me on their facebook group and page. So, yes, many firsts.
@@loopopwow just wow
I liked my UNO synth, but its resale value was crap, when you decide to trade up...
So keep it :)
Keep reviewing innovative products across the price spectrum, and please ignore the Company that seems only able copy legacy out of production instruments, but now also other manufacturers current products. The Pro X seems like a decent sound module for the price point. I probably don’t have room for another monosynth but as always a good review.
