Analog/PCM drum machine. Fully programmable. Ultra-portable.
UNO Drum is the ultimate beat creation station for anyone and everyone to create warm, punchy, high-quality, and inspiring grooves. Made in collaboration with Italian analog specialist Soundmachines, UNO Drum follows the acclaimed UNO Synth, combining massive analog tone with digital flexibility and convenience.

UNO Drum makes it easy to program and perform using the widest sonic palette to add professional drum grooves to your music.

12 killer sounding drum elements
UNO Drum offers 6 true analog drum sounds for the warmest, richest, and most dynamic drum sounds possible. This includes 2 different kick drums, snares, claps, and hi-hats - the core kit that characterizes the most iconic analog drum sounds of all time.

Plus, added PCM elements (with 54 samples to choose from) are available for additional sonic flavors. Toms, rims, cowbells, rides, and crash cymbals help you create complex, unique, and full rhythm tracks. UNO Drum lets you use up to 12 elements in total between analog and digital sounds (11 voice polyphony).

Wider sonic palette
UNO Drum lets you freely swap analog and digital elements, so you never have to feel limited by pre-set combinations. Between the analog engine designed by SoundMachines and samples drawn from IK’s award-winning SampleTank sound & groove workstation, the diverse collection of sounds encourages fresh ideas and unique creation.

Producers, beat-makers, creators, and DJs alike can always count on UNO Drum to find their groove. With the help of UNO’s sound editing controls, options are always available for the key parameters of each sound element. Tweak the Tuning of your kicks for sub-rattling hip-hop, adjust Snap for punchy EDM drums, push the Decay for thundering industrial sounds, and so much more. UNO Drum’s in - depth control encourages experimentation to take your drum tracks far beyond the usual.

Easy to use and perform
12 touch-sensitive pads line the center of UNO Drum, offering two velocity zones for more expressive live playing and easier programming. These can be used to play entire beats live with a pad-style feel, or to easily add your own live flare on top of pre-programmed rhythms.
These pads are also used to select the individual elements of your drum patterns. Press each element to edit the parameters for that specific drum sound to tweak your sounds in real-time as your patterns play.
Listen to your tracks evolve, build tension towards a drop, go lo-fi for a break, and more.

Fully programmable to suit your style
Whether you prefer 808s or MPCs, UNO Drum makes it easy to program the way you want.

The step sequencer lines the bottom of UNO Drum, showing 16 steps and 4 pages. Tap a step and hit a pad to add a hit to that selected step, or use the Record button play within a pattern. The sequencer also allows you to automate up to 8 parameters per step, for radically different sounds on each beat.

Song mode allows you to chain up to 64 patterns together to create extended grooves. In this mode, each step is its own pattern, so you can trigger any of the stored sequences live, on the fly in any order you want. Song mode allows you to create full length beats in the palm of your hands. Let the grooving begin.

Integrates in any Live, Studio, or Mobile Set-up
Use UNO Drum at home, in the lab, in DJ booth, and beyond. UNO offers USB and traditional MIDI via 2.5mm jacks (cables included) to integrate with both your Mac/PC and iOS device or traditional outboard MIDI gear, so no matter your rig UNO Drum will pair perfectly. UNO also offers Audio in to daisy chain with UNO Synth or other gear. It even allows you to apply compression to the audio IN, to help glue your mix of instruments together.
