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.


Switch up your performance every time you play with UNO’s 5 performance effects: Roll, Fill, Random, Swing and Humanize, and use the master stutter effect to chop up your entire groove.

STUTTER offers adjustable depth, from subtle tremolos to full-on slices to create different feeling sounds and grooves.

ROLL makes it easy to add tension in your tracks, letting one drum roll in 8th notes, 8-note triplets, 16th notes, and 32nd notes. Build towards an epic drop, or end with one of 4 different fills.

RANDOM adds a fresh spark by creating a new pattern to the element selected, for unexpected surprises within every performance.

 
Have fun with it! These effects are meant to add an unexpected spark into your live show.

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.

If you’re looking for a place to start, UNO Drum comes pre-loaded 100 drum patterns in addition to its 100 kits. Quickly search and find a pattern that suits your genre or experiment with styles you never imagined. Easily scroll through the included choices and add flavor, swap out the sounds, and adjust the vibe as you go - or feel free to create your own patterns. Either way you choose, you can always instantly save them to revisit later.

*USB power has inherent ground noise, so when connecting the UNO Drum directly to your computer via USB, you may hear more noise and interference than when the synth is connected to a USB wall charger or running via batteries. With the direct computer connection, you can reduce the USB ground noise and other interference by either using a USB isolator or a custom TRS cable into a balanced input on your preamp or audio interface where the ground is not connected at the balanced input side.
