Reviews | IK Multimedia UNO THE ALTERNATIVES Korg Monologue £215 The Monologue is similarly spec’d but the build feels more high-end. It lacks UNO’s portability, and its character is slightly tamer www.korg.com Arturia MicroBrute £230 The MicroBrute has nicer hands-on synth control, plus a micro patchbay, but there’s no arp and its sequencer is a little bit basic www.arturia.

IK Multimedia UNO | Reviews are both four-stage, but only two of these can be controlled from the front panel – attack and decay in the case of the filter, attack and release for the VCA. Full control of all envelope stages and extra LFO routing options are accessible via CC or the software editor. UNO also features an analogue delay. This is controlled using a pair of multi-function arrow buttons to set mix level and delay time.
