UDO DMNO ON Desktop Synthesizer

DMNO ON And On. And On.DMNO ON is the full-featured 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral DMNO synthesizer in a compact desktop format. Built around two independent analogue-hybrid synth engines, it retains DMNO’s highly flexible signal architecture, with each engine featuring our new Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo VCF. Eight creative Play Modes unlock dynamic interactions between the two timbres at the touch of a single control, while its flexible analog and digital audio connectivity make it a truly expansive and immediate sound design sandbox.

At a glance • Full-featured UDO DMNO synthesizer in a compact desktop format.
• Expandable control-set via ONM Expander Modules.
• 8 voice polyphonic, with 4 ‘super’ voices when in Binaural mode. Binaural mode gives each channel (ear) a full synthesizer voice with independent detuning and modulation, creating an expansive, rich and texturally wide sound.
• 2-Part Multitimbral, comprising 2 independent hybrid synthesizers.
• 8 selectable ‘Play Modes’ that immediately reconfigure DMNO’s signal flow, redefining how its two independent synth engines interact with one another.
• Dynamic multi-core stereo analogue VCF with parallel, series and stereo connection modes — featuring multiple filter modes for each connection type.
• Hybrid architecture: FPGA-based high-resolution digital oscillators paired with an analogue signal path and a high-quality DSP effects engine.
• 2-in 2-out 24-bit USB digital audio interface.
• Stereo external audio input with a variable-gain preamplifier, gate level detector, and envelope-follower input to the modulation matrix.
• Stereo auxiliary output that can be assigned to either DMNO 1/2, USB digital audio from the connected host, or the effects send bus.
• Two individual user-assignable CV & gate/clock outputs via 1/8”/3.5mm sockets.
• High quality long-lasting electroluminescent glass vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) with dedicated rotary controls. Designed for immediacy with no deep menus and limited ‘hidden’ controls.
• 32-bit DSP digital effects chain including delay, reverb, EQ, overdrive distortion and chorus.

innovative and inspiringDMNO merges UDO’s championed hybrid sound with a cutting-edge, playful, and performative control architecture. Eight-voice polyphony, dual hybrid binaural synth-engines, and the entirely new per-voice analogue Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo Filter system deliver a deep sonic palette, from extreme, overdriven textural scenes to rich, organic analogue warmth.

The ON system introduces expandable control. The base unit features a streamlined single control-set while retaining the full 8 voice bi-timbral synthesis engine. Add an ONM-1 Synth Control to recreate the dual DMNO layout, and/or an ONM-2 Effects Control for hands-on playability of the onboard effects engines. With a suite of ONM units planned, the ON ecosystem will grow to allow players to build and shape the instrument around their own workflow.

At the heart of DMNO is the Play Modes system. Instantly reconfigure the internal architecture at the touch of a single control with eight carefully curated modes that redefine how the two timbres interact, with traditional splits and layers sitting alongside novel, creative, and unexpected configurations. Complementing this versatility is a suite of flexible connectivity options, including an analogue audio input with preamplifier, gate generator, and envelope follower, CV/Gate connections for the analogue realm, and a 24-bit USB class-compliant digital audio interface.

While the core UDO sound stands confidently on its own, DMNO also includes a high-resolution digital effects engine. Delay, reverb, EQ, distortion, chorus; each effect has been meticulously crafted, capable of subtle to extreme tones that are always musical, never abrasive (unless you want them to be). All of this is controlled via the best screen we could find: a beautifully sharp, yet somehow warm and organic, high-contrast electroluminescent glass vacuum fluorescent display (VFD).
