Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the IK Multimedia UNO Drum. Is it buggy like software???
Furry Meme:
Fl...
The soul of a Roland, the looks of a central heating thermostat programing panel
Lol😂😂😂
Hahaha yeah
Hhhahaaahahahaa. so true :D
They got the tr8 spot on mind
lol made me laugh, either that or a set of kitchen scales.
AudioPilz-the least sponsorable synthtuber 😂
Lovin’ the series!
There's some truth to it 😂😂😂
lol
Least Sponsorable = Most Consumer Advocate-able

It ain't weekend until I hear "Welcome to Bad Gear!"
Thanks!
It’s definitely my sweet Friday gateway to the weekend. Sets me up for drooling all over my K-Station.
@@AndrewJohnClive the K-Station IS pretty great
The ridiculously over-specific genre names for the final jams are my jam.
Happy to hear that, thanks!
I am always amazed at this:)
I have that feeling that it doesn't matter what you touch, it would come out as gold.
Thank you so much!
Even the black keys are gold!
I think that was the ZIEL😁✌
Just got home from work, wife cooked my dinner and now watching my favourite UA-camr... Life don't get any better 😁
Thank you so much!
This show does seem to be timed for that. Same.
"T-Racks brought me to loudness war" - Hell yeah! Me too! ;D
-2 dB RMS is NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
We finally found one that's not ticking all the boxes! We're at peak bad gear (until next episode).
There's more of that where it came from ;)
Damn man, some of your jams in this series are album worthy! Such effortless and honest sound.
Thank you!
When most of your gear shows up on Bad Gear....You are a Bad Gear Junkie!!! Love those gear jams!!!Makes my day every time!
Thanks! Bad Gear army assemble!!!
I literally forgot it was Friday until I saw this.
Thanks man!
😀😄👍✌
You should do a Bad Gear episode on the Sony Ericsson's Music DJ program included on their mobile phones.
Great idea, I'll take a closer look!
I vaguely remember that from my Walkman 800i. That phone will haunt my nightmares for the next month, I guess.
I quite like the UNO Drum. No issues with mine. I use it over my Behringer RD-8. I bought a longer USB cable for my Uno Drum and it works great. I got an awesome price on a new one last year.. I also plug it into a phone wall adapter to power and found it helps get rid of noise. I dig it. It's a fun little drum machine. I haven't had an issue with finger drumming on it. The Modal Skulpt feels even more like a cheap toy. It was so bad, I returned the Skulpt as it also relies too heavily on its app.
Happy to hear that. Skulpt is a great idea, thanks for the input!
@@AudioPilz 🤘
Haha, I love Stimming's reviews. He does NOT hold back!
Yeah, he was really annoyed by that one
Every New UA-camr that reviews equipment, should view Stimming as the platinum standard.
@@sawtooth808 i just puked in my mouth a little
This series of bad gear further proves the point that often the magic the people have is what matters, you could still manage to do cool stuff with bad gear.
Thank you!

And fun fact: The very first House track (On and On by Jesse Saunders) was made on a Mattel Handsonic. It’s not what you have sometimes, it’s what you do with it.
Just found this channel a couple weeks ago and i love this dude! Seems like he has some really good advice and opinions on gear and what not! I'm trying to get into this crazy world of electronic music (i've played mainly guitar my whole life) And i got to say you've been a big help in figuring out a lot of gear and stuff! Keep it up man you rock!
Thanks! I've been a guitar/bass guy for years as well but we all end up in synth-country ;)
Uno Drum has the best midi support of all the budget drum machines available today.
True, the midi implementation is pro!
Bad Gear (Fri)Day :)
Somehow I feel like a conditioned Dog.
If you ever Release an Episode on a tuesday, I would not Go to Work the next day 🤪
Great Video, as Always.
Thanks! I'm sure your boss would love to hear that excuse ;)
@@AudioPilz 😄 Will "Cc" you, If that ever happens.
This show beats anything on TV in the U.S. right now.
Thanks!!!
dude, I'm a video editor, and know you are putting a lot of hours into these vids. I tip my hat to your killer vids
Thank you so much!
I see you still have the basssstation rack, that and the drumstation are underrrrrated.
Not gonna lie, I like the snare on the Uno drum, better than a lot of pricier drum machines **cough drumbrute cough**
I liked most sounds on the UNO to be honest ;)
I liked the snare a lot too. Would be really good to feed through some gate reverb.
You're one of the few channels that actually get me excited for a new video drop.
Keep it up man. Im actually trying to think of bad gear material but so far the only thing I've come up with that could fill "the screen" easily(and you havent reviewed) is the et2/ets2.
Also Im still a big fan of the "rad gear" idea where you review your favorite pieces of gear or like really good but obscure stuff or something?
Shit i'd probably watch you review a toaster to be honest.
So happy to hear that, thank you! ET2 is on top of my list!
Phil Towle's sweater collection is what got me through the loudness wars.
I thought my TV was broken
You sir are clearly the Genre MASTER. Attention all musicians on the bleeding edge: When you develop your own brand new genre of music, come by here and let AudioPilz name it for you :D
Thanks! Always a pleasure!
It's been a year since I subscribed to this exciting channel. Thank you for tons of fun and information!
Thanks! Great to have you around!
I’ll never buy an instrument with buttons like that.
That's an understandable notion
Yamaha DX7 "Am I a joke to you?" 🤣
wot buttons?
Those buttons more apt for a rice cooker
@@mrCharlesG my rice cooker has better controls than this potato
0:50 - dude, you crack me up! I cannot so much as watch your videos without having to re-wind because I missed the last 20 seconds ROFLing. You just made my day. Again.
Keep on rockin'!
Thank you so much, stick around!
Oh I see this thing every once in a while when contemplating what I will give Thomann my money for next.
edit: Damn, your meme game is on point this week
This is the reason this thing is on the show ;)
@@AudioPilz You are punching out cultural references only 40+ year olds would get. Awesome.
These videos are always rammed full of memes and pop culture references, absolutely love this show!
@@fakshen1973 yes adults can take back the internet. Just not on tiktok
I love my Uno Drum now. Up until around 3 months ago it was so disappointing. I complained so many times but got the same answer. Finally a firmware update fixed everything. I honestly think it's the best and most realistic drum machine I own.
The sounds are great but not easy to integrate it in a setup
@@AudioPilz Yes I understand. It's quite complicated for a live setup. It is quite difficult to get the hang of. I only use it for studio work. And yes, like you say. This thing eats batteries for breakfast, dinner, lunch and supper 😜
The memes as always spot on and hilarious 🤣👍🏻
Thank you!
They made a “Pro” grown up version of the UNO synth.... I’d love to see a Drum Uno with pads and multi outs.
Or a unobrute.
UNOBrute MUST be a thing ;)
@@AudioPilz The BrUNO Pro. A snip at 300 eurodollars. Includes lifetime supply of salty tears.
@@secretelitemusic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could say I'm just here for the jam, but badgear is good on so many other levels as well , Enjoyable , and informative , Just bit addictive . Another topnotch episode . 😊
Thank you so much!
Do you edit these yourself? It's some fantastic music video editing.
Yes, I do. Thanks!
yeah, editing is top notch.
Thing's good at being thrown though. Some weight with the batteries in it and a nice frisbyish shape.
Maybe get an 80s Yamaha drum machine for that? 😂😂😂
Yeah, but can you boomerang it?
You deliver, as always. I came here for the snark and witty editing, but I stayed for the fucking great techno. Nice, man.
Thank you!
that meme at @3:08 hurt me viscerally - as a guitar pedal using, minilogue owning volca keys lover ....... i should really figure out how to go beyond the presets on my FM.....
Yeah, I was a tiny bit offended myself ;)
Actually laughed at the Stimming comment and I really like him and respect his artwork. But damn! That’s some funny Austrian on German dig humour there! 🤣
I have nothing but respect for him. Stuff like that is an essential part of German-Austrian friendship ;)
Oh man, that photo-house track was excellent! thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
This amazing show keeps getting better every time! I really liked that "it's a cold, cold world" tune! How an episode about the E-mu Orbit?
Thanks! Great idea, I'll take a closer look!
I had one. Liked the sounds, but the output jacks had insane amounts of noise. And since an unbalanced cable is not really an option here, I traded it towards a Roland TR-6S.
True, I really needed noise gates on this one
Thank you for this friday-upbeat critical but fair videos!!!
Also i liked a lot the slightly over modernized
it's cold outside
it's getting hot in here
underground
proto-house!
Thank you!!!
Have we started a petition for the Unobrute yet?
That needs to be a thing!!!
Good thing you showed us the cowbell in the digital section. It would be real bad gear without a cowbell.
Cowbell>other percussion instruments
User Sample Pack functionality for the Uno Drum has been cracked! Previously the IK Multimedia Legacy packs were all you could swap into the machine, but this (admittedly early) proof of concept shows that custom samples are indeed possible. Possible candidate for a future Better Gear entry?

Details on how it was done are in the video description.
Thanks for posting!
Crippleware is my new favourite word.
I'm still not sure if it's PC ;)
AudioPilz
It probably isn’t, but that was on point 😎
@@AudioPilz physically challenged ware to more PC 🙄
You know what's more ironic than that? Recently, the PR person from IK started doing the rounds on most audio forums to market their brand new UNO Synth Pro and come out with claims like their synth is better because "it's not a copy made in sweatshops in China." If you notice, the smaller UNO Synth Pro is almost a replica of the Arturia Microfreak, down to the capacitive keys.
TBH, I wouldn't want to be the PR person for IK ;)
Great work as always! I love how you didn’t shy away from the weirder aspects of the machine!
Thanks!
I absolutely love your videos, they always puts me in a good mood after watching 🙂
Thank you!
So many scalding hot burns dropped in one video. It's a masterpiece!🔥
Thank you!!!
Fantastic video as always. Just want to also give you props for the RNC compressor- amazing tool for 20 years!
Thanks! LOVE the RNC!
Be aware when selling/buying used IKM hardware, the owner needs to purchase a "license transfer credit" so the new owner will be able to download free software for that particular device.
For instance, you can't just simply download the UNO Drum editor, VST or firmware from their website. You need a license to do that.
Yeah, they are - after all - a software company. Very inconvenient!
Oooooh, even snuck in a furry meme pic, niiiiice. ^_^
Always a pleasure;)
Haha, I immediately noticed it too, tho I had to skip back again because I couldn't belive it. :D
Wait... he’s into... fluff
They go for about 100 international beer tokens in the UK. Still overpriced, compared to the humble Volca equivalent.
The Drumbrutes have the advantage of individual outs, even if they are on mini monojacks, which allows some external processing to oomph up the sounds.
The gold standard for teenytiny analogue drumboxes with wonky operating systems is the MFB503, which knocks the UNO out of the park.
Always liked the MFB stuff, I even have an MFB501 from 1980 here
@@AudioPilz Kick drums that can punch through concrete at half velocity. That's a superpower.
Nice episode. Been wanting to buy one of these for quite awhile. This actually makes me want one more now...
Thanks!
Gotta say nice touch with the Maserati hearse.. i am rebuilding a '46 meteor currently and thought i was tripping for a second there when it flashed by. ALSO, Great pick for a subject... always wondered about the unos.... Luck!
Wow, that's quite a vintage car. Would make for a nice hearse indeed ;)
I think its harder to define a new music genre/category every week than to make a new video every week...👍
♥️
Thanks! It comes to me naturally ;)
3:08 Yes I paused the video to read that meme.
I should have invested in ROM cards years ago
I still use T-Racks on everything! A creature of habit.
Looks like the controller for my central heating, but you pulled some tasty jams out of it.
Thanks! T-Racks is still legit!
love the ode to jamie principle and frankie knuckles "baby wants to ride" lead at 7.41... A classic chicago house Trax
Thanks! Legend!
Slightly Over-Modernized It's Cold Outside It's Getting Hot In Here Underground Proto-House is good, but it won't change my mind about the UNO Drum. i like the Drum Brute more because of Rebecca from Arturia :P
She really knows her stuff!
Sounds pretty good, has a terrible interface. I had the unosynth but it ended up shorting out randomly.
It's like one of the less famous Italian sports cars ;)
Yet again... Bad Gear covers a device I was looking at in the past 6 months. I think this happens as I regularly search for gear under £200.
I got my fully expanded Roland TR8 for £220. It has many of those classic Roland drum sounds and I can hook it up to an old EMU ESi sampler too... kind of makes €180 for the IK look like a meh deal.
Also... those pads just put me in mind of loads of 80s and early 90s electronic toys. But it does sound the IK can polish up well in the hands of someone like you.
Keep up the great work!
Wow, great price!!! Thanks!
Great video as usual Pilz. IK do make some lovely products: I think Sampletank is quite special, but they've become a little too bloated as a company. The Walmart of audio. Even Waves is like: woah there buddy! I tried TRacks back in the day, and never 'glued' with it, and even had the ARC room correction software. Talk about buyer's remorse. But I don't want to be all negative. Like Arturia, I think IK will learn from their experiments and move on to more successful instruments.
Thanks! Wow, I even used Sampletank 1 Free ;)
One of the best sounding drum machines in recent years! Have wanted one since the Stimming review - everybody seems to judge this with their eyes instead of their ears. Maybe time to score one before the price starts climbing...
I really like the sounds, it's like a poor man's Jomox
Can't fault the drum sounds but it looks like something that should be controlling my Bosch boiler.. :-P
True, keeps my apartment nice and warm ;)
I have one of these. Let me start by saying that I'm just getting into music production. This is technically my second drum machine. I bought a Korg Volca Drum first. I love it but it is tough for someone just starting out to use effectively (at least for me it was, anyway). So, I decided to get this.
I really like it, for the most part. That said, I am on my second one. The first one had to be returned due to some of the buttons becoming completely unresponsive. With the latest firmware update I am experiencing very little bugs. The only bugs I experience are with some of the step buttons becoming unresponsive. It happens when I go to swipe all the steps quickly to lay down 16 claps, for instance, in a row. As a result, I've stopped swiping like that and now push each step button in a normal fashion.
As I said, I'm new to this stuff. I'm satisfied with it, overall.
Great starting point for electronic music production!
@@AudioPilz Good to know!
Also, I love the size of it. I have an UNO Synth too. The two machines fit well into a compact case that is easy to take into work. I work at the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio. I have an office and I really only deal with emergencies. This leaves me plenty of time to do things like play video games, watch videos, and fart around with synthesizers. If I take care of business, they really don't care what I do in my office. I love my job.
That said, can you recommend a drum machine that is a little bit more powerful in the sub 300-400 dollar range? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm so happy that I have found this chanell. Keep up the great work Florian! And thank you. :)
Thanks! Stick around!!!
As far-fetched as it might seem, Slightly Over-Modernized It's Cold Outside It's Getting Hot In Here Underground Proto-House made me think of Jamie Principle's Baby Wants To Ride
You know too much;)
My second favorite drum machine after the rhythm wolf. I like it better than the drumbrute impact.
You might want to get a Tom Cat ;)
@@AudioPilz already got one dude. Lol!!!!!
Ok. I just bought the Volca Drum. Picking it up Monday. Anything portable and battery powered is always on my radar.
Love your reviews! Always entertaining! Not a piece of bad gear, but I just got the Polyend Tracker and I will be trying to wrap my head around it for some time to come. The only complaint I have is the manual in by PDF only. Cheers!
Thank you! Tracker is a really fresh approach!
This machines looks both really limited and promising at the same time; I hope there's a future for it in the better gear segments... but I doubt it. It's weird in a way that I like with what seems to be strong guts. Amazing work as usual, love your suff!
Thanks! These modern drum machines are VERY hard to mod. So little space
UNOBrute! Awesome idea!
timbreunobrute actually !
TAKE MY MONEY!!! 😂😂😂😂
I’d midi them together ..... but that midi mini mini cable .... yikes.
I love mine, no probs.
Good to know. It's either no problems at all or total catastrophe
I love the simple preset pattern and drum set switching
Very nice sequencer!
I got one for $180 from the IK store about 4 months ago, now brand new it costs $250 from the store, but all the ones going for resale on reverb are being sold for $150 lol. I mean, It's a decent little drummer, but to put together your own kit that sounds legit like 909\808 takes a bit of time, and I had to steal parameters from another kit to make a good 909 bd for my own kit. All over a good drum machine, but each one seems to have their own foibles from what I hear from literally everyone who's used one. I'm getting almost strictly into modular, so I'm selling mine, but that's really the only reason I'm selling it. Overall I'd give it a 4/5, but a 5/5 for what you get for the price (if you can get it for $120 to about $190). And if you go into it knowing you will just be getting a standard 909/808 machine, you won't be too disappointed. I also have to give them credit for making 5 solid 808 drum sounds that have a strong cr-8000 feel to them, which I like a lot.
True, they did a lot of things right!
Wow, you’ve upped your game again, you didn’t phone this in. Almost stutter edited. Nice one.
Thanks!
the one dislike is from the one person who received it as an xmas gift and actually liked it lolol
I assume it is a rather popular stocking filler😅
I just want you to know I'm disabled, and when I saw the word "Crippleware" I cried from laughing so hard.
Growing up my neighbor had an Atari 400. It was the one where the keyboard wasn't a real keyboard, it was a flat thing, but it reminds me of this interface, horrific!
Hope you didn't find it offensive, just reflecting on internet hate here. Thanks for watching!!!
@@AudioPilz of course not I'm more offended by the prospect that all I t own will eventually be here. Hahaha I mean you can make a video about the Wavestate because it's a pain in butt the besides the random feature.
100% worth the money. Get a $6 in-line ground loop filter for the noise. The latest firmware fixed the software issues I had. Great sounds . Run them through effects for some crazy unique drums. Far from unusable.
Really liked the sounds!
Haha I suppose those sounds would have gone down well in the Ha¢ienda 😁
Hell yeah!
Let's be honest. You just figured out a way to monetize your Gear Acquisition Syndrome.....
and we ain't even mad.
Thanks for the comment! Not only my G.A.S. - being an overall freak as well ;)
I love Stimming‘s reviews which are really fair and honest (and of course his music) ... and I remember his review of the Uno Drum... that was total destruction... and well deserved!
He seemed sooooo annoyed 😂😂😂
Unobrute aside, I would watch your channel only for the new music genre descriptions alone. You just made my day...again 😁
Thank you! Always a pleasure!
The sound this machine puts out is amazing!!! Punchy and warmy. I would never ever imagine that, it seems pure crap at the first look
True, can I have that sound in a real drum machine? ;)
UnoBrut - this is what we need
Yeah, this should be a thing!
The Uno Drum is so much fun and easy to use. Nothing is more portable except the Pocket Operators or the Korg Drum. This video misrepresents the number of drum kits there are without even downloading the library. I've not experienced the noise problems you are talking about. This is a really easy-to-use tool and I think people who don't like it want pads, buttons, lights, and something that comes with a hefty manual. This is for minimalists who really want portability. If you are waiting on a plane or train and you have a beat in your head that you want to pattern quickly, this is the device. It really eats through batteries though.
Thanks for the feedback
@@AudioPilz IK multimedia trolling again a mobile phone has more creativity than a uno drum and downloading free drum machines is cheaper than a uno drum.
my uno drum is a nice dust cover for my behringer td3
Its a giant PITA but I definitely recommend picking one up for like a 100 bucks if you can, under two conditions. (1) You use external midi control and sequencing. The thing has an astonishingly complete midi implementation and its even in the manual (I'm looking at you AKAI). Midi receive includes roll and stutter effects, the tweakable paramters of the different sounds as well as switching between the different sounds per slot included in a kit (5 sounds per slot), as well as changing kits. (2) You use use a ground isolator usb thingie. arturia sends some with their beatstep pro. (alternatively using batteries might also work and they recommend using a balanced TRS into a mixer while not pluggin in the ground part in the manual -- which sounds like a joke).
Once you resolve all the BS of this thing, its pretty fun. And if you're on the fence about a dedicated analog drumbox, this is a good unit to give it a shot.
I still want a pro version of that one;)
+1 UnoBrute
This got to be a thing!
Yoo imma be juvenile and say "first"
Never gets old ;)
Danke! Hast mich davor bewahrt dieses Teil zu kaufen (hatte echt mal mit dem Gedanken gespielt, quasi kleine Batterie-drum-machine für die Schublade im Büro 😅). Apropos, wir 2 haben uns mal das Büro geteilt Flo und uns sogar mal kurz über Sampler unterhalten, lg Rob
Hey Rob, freut mich! Immer schön die Drum Machine ins Büro schmuggeln ;)
@@AudioPilz haha ganz heimlich beats machen! Gratuliere dir zum Channel!! Hast ja sauber was auf die Beine gestellt!! 🙌🏻
The biggest bug is the hardware in details: MIDI with fuckin' minijacks (and 2,5mm!), non isolated USB and other noises when using samples.
Hopefully the will do a pro version that corrects all these faults like the new Uno Synth pro does.
Pro version would be highly appreciated!
@@AudioPilz agreed. BTW, check your facebook message requests :)
lmao i just thought of buying one as this video came out
I just throught of turning it into a rack unit ;)
The more I learn about budget drum machines the more I'm sure that a Volca Drum is all I need. 😅
@@Yuzuki1337 This imo, sounds much better than a volca drum. Although I do like the subby thump of the volca kick drum
@@up7500 really depends what sound you're after - volca drum is a very different thing to this, it's much closer to volca beats imo.
@@Paul_Y_T Ah sorry, my bad I got the volca drum mixed up with the volca beats!
The drive and compression are not doing it for you? That's the best part of this drum machine... the sounds are punchy and deep... better than my Analog Rytm, Tempest, MPC, etc. The drive makes it sound phenomenal.
👍👍👍
The solution for this device is the same as what I found was the solution for the DrumBrute: Sample it in detail and then load those hits into your Digitakt or Roland TR8s (You should review that one). I don't know why, but I use the DrumBrute kits I made in those devices more than I ever used the DrumBrute (which is one of only two pieces of gear I owned for less than 1 month before selling it).
As paradoxical as it might seem, that's most probably the best technique
why the hell would you pay to buy a uno drum to sample if you have a digitakt
the ik multimedia reps are trolling the comments.
@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 I'm not an IK Media rep. I collect drum samples and drum machines.
The Uno Drum is a nice drum machine, I get mine for $150 and I love it specially with the drum anthology library, you got many drum machines in one also somebody found a way to load your own samples on it and that opens a lot of possibilities, the only thing that I complain it's a stereo output (L, R) with a panning function, other than that is really good.
PS: I got the Uno Synth too.
The library is really good!
Congrats once again for giving a fair chance to this machine although it might not actually deserve it. I hope some day Arturia and IK join forces to design your great idea about the Uno-Brute ;)
Thank you! UNOBrute MUST be a thing ;)
im going to freak out is these guy doesnt point at me and any of the nexts videos, love ur stuff
❤️❤️❤️
I bought this thing 2th hand, put it on a toroidal linear power supply. 0. Noise, Lots of headroom. Thick punch a steal. Get it with linear psu instead of usb or 5v switching psu.
Nice!!!
Do you have a SoundCloud or anything where we can listen to these jams in full? They’re always spot on.
