Per quanto riguarda il reparto spedizione niente da dire, eccellente come sempre, arrivato nei tempi previsti, andiamo a descrivere il prodotto:Esteticamente molto bello, compatto e montato egregiamente con materiali di qualità, alimentabile sia con pile che con cavo USB per il massimo della trasportabilità, drum kit di base iconici riprodotti molto bene, suoni molto modellabili (ottima interpretazione dell'umanizzazione del suono). Suona in standalone oppure con vst (utilizzabile come controller), provato insieme a behringer crave attaccato a mixer e casse solamente ed è venuta fuori una sessione interessante.Prezzo abbastanza alto ma vale ogni centesimo, perfetto per entry level e per esperti.

I've owned this device for over a year now and found that this is just not a suitable drum machine for any purpose I can think of. I like the simple layout (that's why I was drawn to it), but I found that it just doesn't hold up when in use. These are my biggest issues:-The lack of actual pads really affects the enjoyability of actually performing patterns so you are stuck punching in events on the sequencer (which are also flat surface buttons). It's very easy to not hit the correct contact. The whole flat surface concept may have seemed cool in theory, but it just doesn't work in practice.-There's an awful noise when triggering any of the drum samples. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here (I'm on the latest firmware version 1.0.3), but whatever it is I don't believe it's going away via software update. It makes any sound coming out of this thing pretty much unusable and thin. It's a high pitched digital "sizzle" artifact that I can't imagine anyone enjoying the sound of.-The power connection is USB. It's a HUGE inconvenience to have to track down a compatible USB cable plus a power brick (and hope that your cord is long enough to reach). You can power it with batteries, but it eats through them very quickly. Really should've just went with a standard AC adapter.-The knobs move so easily (and are so close together) that it's too easy to knock the beat off tempo. They feel way too "loose". I can't imagine anyone having success performing with this thing.-Only outputs in mono, but that is very minor compared to my previous complaints.I do like the idea of a simple layout and small footprint, but it just doesn't do the main thing it's supposed to do well enough to be worth anyone's time. Maybe if they sorted out the noise issue, added some nice pads/knobs, and powered it with a standard AC adapter they would have a great device. Definitely seek out another device.

Das Gerät lässt sich relativ leicht bedienen. Ganz guter Sound.Das Ausgangssignal ist leider mit leichtem Brummen behaftet.

Great machine right out of box without reading manual could get solid rythm drums.

Auf der Suche nach einem einfach zu programmierenden Drumcomputer mit gutem analogem und sample sound bin ich auf den UNO Drum gestossen. Die Möglichkeit die Samples zu tauschen und so fast alles bekannten "alten" Drumcomputer zu haben ist sehr praktisch. Sequenzprogrammierung ist intuitiv und einfach. Alles in allem eine absolute Empfehlung! Jetzt fehlt nur noch die möglichkeit die Samples selbst zu definieren, aber ich denke das wird mit einem Firmwareupdate folgen.

The most fun drum machine for me south of 400$. I've tried the TR 08, Volca Beats / Drums. For me, the sounds are good & simpler to manipulate then on the Volcas, easily expanded to16+ steps and more intuitive & accessible for live play. Only downside for me was build quality of the battery box. Had to put in a spring to make it work. Not sure they forgot it, or whether it came off after first battery exchange.Biggest flaw for me is that it misses a sync in / out to easily talk to Korg devices.

I'm no professional but this is an amazing drum machine. I have a Volca Drum, Novation Circuit, MPC1000 and a Korg ER-1. (I also owned a Drumbrute for a bit but sold it because it lacked versatility.) The UNO has everything a person like me could need. The analog sounds are deep and rich, and the PCM sounds are infinitely programmable. I would highly reccomend this machine. A few months ago I downloaded some of the sound packs they offer on their website. I can't do any A/B comparisons with the drum machines they are emulating, but dang they sound just like them. I can't express how much I enjoy this dtum machine.

I’m loving my Uno Drum. I’m a solo artist and this drum machine allows me to set it and forget it, but also allowing me to quickly manipulate the beats and add affects on the fly during a break in guitar, or while singing. If you have the Uno Synth, then the Uno Drum becomes even more handy. The Uno Drum with guid the Uno Synth to the tempo, and take control of the synth, giving me and other solo artists or band member (that may have more than one job) more freedom to fill in more sounds and layers using other instruments.The Uno Drum is also fantastic for stand alone recording or just a fun little jam in the basement with buddies. Anyway you use the Uno Drum it will not disappoint.Sit back, relax, and enjoy making music.

Added this to my "dawless" setup a few months ago and it's been a LOT of fun to use. Good analog drum sounds - decent PCM sounds give some extra variety. The stutter and roll options make for great improvisation. Pads dont register gentle taps reliably so you have to get used to playing certain way (firmware fixable?). As with the UNO synth, I got tired of the parameter matrix knobs being so close together and swapped them for smaller ones I had kicking around. Battery life is quite minimal so I recommend powering it with a USB external battery or rechargables. The 4 page sequencer is a great improvement over the UNO synth. 100 kits and 100 x 64-step sequences plus song mode! Blows away the volca offering and gives more expensive options (drumbrute impact) a run for it's money. This is without a doubt the most lightweight and portable drum machine I've ever used. Fits easily in the front pocket of my laptop case. I don't like the idea of collecting gear on principle but IK have me pleasantly surprised two times in a row now and I'm likely to give any other UNOs they come out with try after this :)

This has great sound to it. It’s a little complicated to use at first but I’m still new to drum machines. I do wish there were other outputs aside for only usb and a 1/8th inch jack.
