UNO Synth Pro from $399 ikmultimedia.com
IK Multimedia’s latest synth offering comes in two flavors; the desktop version with its touch sensitive keyboard, pitch and mod strips, and the full version, which has a full size, semi-weighted Fatar keyboard. The keyboard is larger, sporting a heavy duty metal enclosure, as well as physical wheels for pitch and mod. Those differences – and the keyboard version’s power socket – aside, the two are identical. The user interface and innards are exactly the same, so choosing which to get becomes a matter of which ergonomics you prefer, rather than any capabilities of the two.

With that in mind, it’s worth noting that while the desktop’s keyboard is quite responsive and playable, the pitch and mod strips are a little less so, occasionally missing input. In all likelihood this won’t be too much of a problem, as most users will be controlling this from their DAW, or a controller keyboard.
Ports are plentiful,
