About TAL-U-NO-LX
TAL-U-NO-LX is a comprehensive emulation of the successful Juno 60 with a modern engine and GUI. Up to date zero feedback delay filters and carefully calibrated controls make this synth a good replacement for the analog device with all the advantages software plugins have. As an addition, the TAL-U-NO-LX also supports portamento and different filter LFO waveforms and some more useful features. An arpeggiator with different sync modes and hold function is also included. A very fast envelope with a smooth roll-off, emulated inaccuracy and a very smooth filter sound gives this synth the typical sound. The synth was calibrated after a hardware device that’s the property of TAL.

Sound
The Uno LX Nara bundle is a collection bursting of fat basslines, modular flows, juicy pads, celestial leads, obscure basses, otherworldly keys, inspiring arps. Uno LX Nara volume I is devoted to the antiseptic, extra faithful synth sounds from the 70s to the 80s. Uno LX Nara Volume II concentrates on the richer, punchier spirit of the mid-80s. When creating Uno LX Nara The Unfinished was inspired by composers as The Human League, Yazoo, John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, Brad Fiedel, BT, Orbital, Power Glove, The Advisory Circle, Cliff Martinez, Mac Quayle, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow, and many more. Nara is an absolute volume of characters for any composer and synth sound lover. Nara embraces the crucial and warm sounds from the ultimate 40 years.
Uno LX Nara Vol I and Vol II are £19.99 +VAT each, and there’s a Nara Bundle at £29.99 +VAT. If you don’t have Uno LX, The Unfinished is running a deal with TAL to give you 20% off the synth’s normal price when you purchase a The Unfinished Uno LX soundset.
