In this SonicLAB, we look into the Udo Audio DMNO, an 8-voice polyphonic binaural analog hybrid synthesizer with dynamic signal architecture.
The DMNO is sonically different from the Super Series, featuring a grittier, more aggressive sound.
With dual synth engines, though each DMNO integrates the familiar Super DDS oscillators and custom wavetables and both support both stereo and binaural modes.
With 8 voices total, when running two DMNOs in Binaural mode, in split or layer, that will reduce the voice count to 2.
The oscillators can cross mod and route with plenty of audio rate modulation , the LFO 1 also can run tracked and in Audio Rate mode too.
There's lots of configuration, routing and drive with the stereo analog filter, these have multiple modes, stereo, parallel and series routings with Frequency delta between each 'side' of the filters for some lovely formant and vowel like articulations.
Mod matrix has 7 slots plus two fixed routings for wheel and envelope velocity - perhaps the selection of source and destinations could be increased if the FPGA pathways allow for it, and it would be nice to see FX parameters as a destination at some point.
With EQ, Chorus and Drive per DMNO and a shared Delay/Reverb on send, there's some decent additional sound sculpting to be had.
Priced at £2,599, this synth gives an alternative to the other synths in the UDO range
