The UDO DMNO. Play Seriously.
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 analog 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 eSects engine. Delay, reverb, EQ, distortion, chorus — each eSect 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).

- 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 leveldetector, and envelope-follower input to the modulation matrix.
- Stereo auxiliary output that can be assigned to either DMNO 1/2, USB digitalaudio from the connected host, or the eSects send bus.
- Two individual user-assignable CV & gate/clock outputs via 1/8”/3.5mmsockets.
- 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.
