DMNO ON is the full-featured 8-voice, 2-part multi-timbral synthesizer in a compact desktop format. Built around two independent analog-hybrid synth engines, it retains DMNO’s highly flexible signal architecture, with each engine featuring the 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.

The ON System allows players to add an optional synth control unit to recreate the dual-panel DMNO interface, or choose from a range of expansion modules to extend it further and build their perfect DMNO setup.

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 analog Dynamic Multi-Core Stereo Filter system deliver a deep sonic palette, from extreme, overdriven textural scenes to rich, organic analog 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. Players can 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. It instantly reconfigures 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 the user wants them to be). All of this is controlled via a beautifully sharp, high-contrast electroluminescent glass vacuum fluorescent display (VFD).

Key Features:

• 8-voice polyphony, expandable into 4 "super" voices in Binaural mode (assigning a full independent synth voice to each stereo channel for wide, rich sound).
• 2-part multitimbral hybrid architecture featuring FPGA high-resolution digital oscillators, an analog signal path, and a 32-bit DSP engine.
• 8 selectable play modes that dynamically reconfigure signal flow and synth engine interaction.
• Dynamic multi-core stereo analog VCF supporting parallel, series, and stereo routing with multiple filter types per connection.
• 32-bit DSP effects processor with delay, reverb, EQ, overdrive distortion, and chorus.
• 2-in / 2-out 24-bit USB digital audio interface.
• Stereo external input with variable-gain preamp, gate detector, and envelope follower for modulation.
• Assignable stereo auxiliary output (routable to synth engine 1/2, USB audio from host, or effects send).
• 2 user-assignable CV gate/clock outputs via 3.5mm (1/8") jacks.
• Plug-and-play support for up to two ONM control-expansion units via secure D-Sub connections without extra power supplies.
• Electroluminescent glass VFD screen with dedicated rotary encoders, built for immediate hands-on control without deep menus.
• Compact desktop design with flip-up rear feet and VESA mount compatibility.
