UDO Audio DMNO 8-Voice Analogue Hybrid Synthesiser (Black)

DMNO is an 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral powerhouse with a highly flexible and dynamic signal architecture. It features two fully independent 4-voice analog-hybrid synthesizers, each equipped with our new Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo VCF.

With its eight creative Play Modes, DMNO unlocks dynamic interactions between the two timbres at the touch of a single control, while its flexible analog and digital audio connectivity makes it a truly expansive and immediate sound design sandbox.

A new approach to analog. DMNO 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 Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo Filter system deliver a deep sonic palette — from extreme, overdriven textural scenes to rich, organic analog warmth. Each engine features its own dedicated control set, encouraging immediate exploration and powerful play.

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 analog audio input with preamplifier, gate generator, and envelope follower, CV/Gate connections for the analog 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).

• 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, each with its own dedicated set of front-panel controls.
• 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 analog 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 analog signal path and a high-quality DSP eSects engine.
• 44-key FATAR keybed with aftertouch.
• 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 eSects 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.
• 32bit DSP digital eSects chain including delay, reverb, EQ, overdrive distortion and chorus.
• Onboard 64-step sequencer with intuitive control via onboard display.
