Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction:
• In direct sunlight
• Location of extreme temperature or humidity
• Excessively dusty or dirty locations
• Locations of excessive vibration
• Close to magnetic fields
Power Supply
Please use only the power supply provided with the unit and connect the cable to the correct port on the device.
Please note: the USB-C port can power the unit, however is meant to be used as secondary source. Use the
provided power supply for optimal use.
Interference with other electrical devices
Radios and televisions placed nearby may experience reception interference. Operate the unit at a suitable
distance from radios and televisions.
Handling
To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the knobs, buttons or the OLED display.
Care
If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean and dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or
thinner, or cleaning compounds of flammable polishes.
Keep this manual
After reading, please keep this manual for later reference.
Keep foreign matter out of your unit
Never set any container with liquid in it near this unit. If liquid gets into the unit, it could cause a breakdown, fire
or electrical shock. Be careful not to let metal objects get into the equipment. If something does slip into the
unit, unplug the power and/or the USB cable, then contact your nearest IK Multimedia dealer or the store where
the equipment was purchased.

2 – Installation and setup
2.1 – Connections
Please note: To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume and turn off all the
equipment before making any connections.
UNO Synth PRO X can be powered either from USB or POWER jack. When connected via USB the host (Mac,
Windows) must provide at least 1.5 A in order for the Uno Synth PRO X to work properly. In case the host is not
capable of supplying the required power an external power supply (included in the box) must be connected to
the POWER jack.
POWER
Connect the provided power supply to power the unit.
NB: Only use the original power supply included in the box.
USB-C Port
USB port should be used to connect UNO Synth PRO X with a PC/Mac host for both data transmission. The
USB-C port is capable of powering the unit, but is not meant to be the sole source of power. Use the power
supply provided for normal use.
CV/GATE
These are typically used to send or receive electrical signals with external devices such as a Eurorack modular
system. These connections can be used as CV, Gate or Sync signals.
The CV output sends and receives a control voltage you can use to control external oscillators, filters or other
voltage-controlled devices. A gate can send or receive a simple on-off message from external devices similar to
a note on-off message. Gate signals are typically used for triggering envelopes or advancing sequencer steps.
Sync sends or receives time-based signals from external devices.
Audio IN
Connect an external mono audio source. The incoming audio can be processed through the internal sound
engine or simply passed through as a daisy chain with no processing.

Phones
Headphones can be connected to the UNO Synth PRO X through the 3.5 mm stereo jack on the back panel.
Audio OUT
Connect the UNO Synth PRO X output to an external amp, mixer or audio interface. Note that the output is
stereo because of the integrated digital effects.
MIDI IN/OUT ports
Connect the UNO Synth PRO X to a MIDI interface, controller, synthesizer or drum machine with standard 5-pin
MIDI DIN connectors.
2.2 – Turning the unit ON/OFF and Calibration process
UNO Synth PRO X powers on as soon as the power supply is connected to the unit. The unit can then be
powered on and off by pressing and holding the HOLD Button.
Once powered ON it automatically starts the first tuning and capacitance sensing calibration. During the
calibration the display will first show a static “UNO,” the FW version and then a blinking “CALIBRATION.”
The unit will then be ready for use and the last used preset will be loaded and indicated on the display.
Due to the fully analog signal path various noises and calibration sounds might be audible during the startup of
the unit.
We recommend turning your system volume down while starting up.

3 – Front Panel Interface
The interface is designed with groups of controls divided by their function.
Sound Editing section
The group of buttons, knobs and light indicators that work together to navigate the sound design parameters of
the synth engine. These controls are located on the upper left.
Global controls
This is the group of buttons on the right along with the display and push encoder for dedicated setup and to
manage the synth to fit your needs.
Sequencer and Arpeggiator
The group of buttons on the bottom of the synth, made of a small 1-octave keyboard and utility buttons. This
section will help you create your riffs and synth lines with ease and inspire you during your sound design
journey.
The SHIFT button located on the far right of the interface can be used in combination with other knobs/buttons
in order to access alternate functions.
For the sake of clarity the names of the functions accessed with the shift key are written in red inside this
document.
