REVIEW IK MODO BASS MOD
The mod matrix is actually deceptively complex (that means it’s easy to use but can accommodate even the wildest modulations you can dream up), and the added effects are a nice touch (especially the overdrive, which is well implemented). Most functions have a dedicated button and/or corresponding knob, and dialing in your parameters to, say, alter the modulation, is as simple as anything you’ve likely encountered before. The menu and tactile controls will be familiar to anyone who’s fiddled with the Uno Synth or Uno Drum before, but even newcomers will be thankful that the learning curve is incredibly short. Again, I don’t know why but we were expecting it to feel a bit cheaper. The sequencer and arpeggiator are still rock solid, and the build quality is nice, as well.

And playing paraphonically reminds us to dig into our old bag of Arp Odyssey tricks every now and again. While we would have LOVED a true polyphonic synth at this price point, we’ll take what we can get. Adding an extra oscillator means you can now beef up the sound even more (bass lines are AWESOME on this thing with a little detuning) and it also means that IK has enabled you to perform paraphonically now. And thankfully, they’re not teeny-weeny mini keys.Īdd to that an additional oscillator (you’re now up to three) and a new multi-mode filter, and that kind of would have been enough.

Anyway, what makes this ‘Pro’? Well, the keys, of course, don’t hurt.
