The perfect beginner analog synthesizer. The “buttons” are not wonderful for performance, but if you’re accident-prone like me than it’s reassuring they won’t break. The build quality is overall light and cheap-ish — but inside this thing is a wonderland of straightforward yet expansive true analog synthesis. It took me seconds of tweaking to find inspiration. I bought this as a companion to my Uno Drum, and they absolutely belong together. The performance buttons do a lot to change things up momentarily in some sonically pleasing ways. If you at just beginning, this is a great place to start.

I'd say this beats out the other low-end analog synthesizers. I own a Volca Keys wgich is swell and the new Craft Monosynth which is wild. But I praise the layout of all the knobs and buttons on the Uno synth, And best of all, there's a free Ipad app that shows you what you're doing.
