IK Multimedia UNO Drum Editor (PC/Mac/iOS) Out Now & Price Drop

Uno Drum editor (PC/Mac/iOS) is here and gives you full access to all parameters, let you change sequences and simplifies patch management

IK Multimedia has today released a dedicated software editor for its portable UNO Drum analog/PCM drum machine. It offers full access to all parameters, easy customization options, advanced kit, and pattern management. It’s available as a plugin for PC & Mac, standalone version and iOS app.

The editor now makes the UNO drum complete and more usable. Currently, our German partner offers the UNO Drum for 205€ which is a very good offer for an analog/PCM based drum machine.

Overview

More than a traditional software editor, UNO Drum Editor can function both as a standalone application (Mac/PC/iPad) and an integrated DAW plug-in (Mac/PC) for use in the studio, live performance, or on-the-go music creation. It provides seamless integration and real-time parameter control, allowing users to instantly change any parameter on the UNO Drum for complete control directly from a computer or iPad.

Users can also load and edit presets created on UNO Drum, or build kits and patterns from scratch on the editor and transfer them to UNO Drum for unplugged use.

A Two-Way Street

When it is used to control parameters in real-time, the hardware UNO Drum instantly responds to those parameter changes. Similarly, the Editor tracks changes made on the hardware, for a seamless workflow. It also makes it easy to manage kits and patterns on UNO Drum itself. Presets can be loaded locally or from the hardware unit, then edited and saved on the user’s device or stored back on UNO Drum for stand-alone use.

It can help quickly customize UNO Drum to suit user preferences. The Global Settings menu can be used to map MIDI routings, channels, behaviour and more. It also lets it be used as both a MIDI interface and a MIDI controller. These comprehensive controls offer a trouble-free way to integrate UNO Drum into even the most advanced rig.

Outboard Meets In-The-Box

In addition to the convenient control offered when using the editor as a standalone application, using it as a plug-in in a DAW of choice unleashes an amazing new workflow:

UNO Drum can be played and programmed just like a virtual instrument with total recall, so the Editor will recall its previous settings each time an older session is opened. It’s also freely resizable, allowing the screen size to be adjusted to fit any workflow. Overall, it offers the convenience and flexibility of plug-ins, but with real analogue sound and hands-on control.

In addition to offering powerful ways to integrate UNO Drum into a computer-based studio, the editor also makes it possible to edit on the go from a mobile device such as an iPad.
