The IK Multimedia UNO Synth is a portable, monophonic analog synthesizer. It seems limited at first, and although it doesn’t have a dedicated control per function, it gives you more control over Omnisphere than meets the eye: Filters, Envelopes, Ambience, Layer levels, Arpeggiator, and modulation routings can help you customize patches easily, or even create them from scratch. It is USB/battery powered, so if you are looking for a controller with a small footprint at a low price, the UNO Synth is one worth considering.
