UNVO-1 Desktop Synthesizer (Black)

Handmade in Japan with a military-grade aluminum enclosure, this compact desktop synth punches way above its size for raw analog power.

Dual VCOs each pack sub-oscillators and feed into separate filters—two distinct types for sculpting everything from throbbing bass to swirling noise—while a dedicated noise generator adds grit you can blend or send through the signal path. Tune the oscillators with precise frequency knobs and range switches, shape tones with CV/Gate inputs for modular integration, and power it via 9V DC center-negative adapter or internal battery for ultimate portability. Duophonic voice count lets you play two notes at once, perfect for evolving drones or leads in a rugged 1/4" mono out design.

Drone and noise enthusiasts love its hands-on tweakability and organic warmth, though some note the lack of onboard sequencing keeps the focus purely on real-time experimentation.
