Classic Analog 16-Voice Multi-Timbral Polyphonic Synthesizer with 8 Vintage Modes, Dual VCFs and 61-Key Poly After-Touch Keyboard
As Behringer continues its aural odyssey of reimagining iconic synths for the modern landscape, the latest entry in the series is as musically menacing as it is malleable. Leveraging a bi-timbral architecture, the Behringer UB-Xa is a 16-voice, polyphonic synthesizer that utilizes 32 analog oscillators to power its massive sonics. It delivers the full spread of iconic 1980s-style lightning leads, booming brass, and plush pads, supplemented by a modern menagerie of detailed velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch to ensure each of its 61 semi-weighted keys is as expressive as possible. Sweetwater’s synth aficionados are supremely impressed with its dual-layer mode, allowing you to conjure two distinct patches across its 16 voices for massive, simultaneous sounds, allowing for detailed tone crafting that can be painlessly saved and recalled with 512 onboard preset slots. Dual LFOs, dedicated VCA and VCF envelopes, pulse-width modulation, and flexible per-oscillator modulation controls are complemented by a switchable, versatile VCF, which boasts 2- and 4-pole filter modes. Connectivity is king, and the UB-Xa pulls no punches. MIDI is available over class-compliant USB 2.0 Type B, as well as 16-channel 5-pin DIN in, out, and thru ports, while foot pedals and foot switches span five individual 1/4-inch TRS jacks: Vibrato, Filter, Sustain, Program Advance, and Hold. Oozing with '80s panache, the Behringer UB-Xa faithfully delivers an uncompromising suite of vintage-fueled sonics that succeeds in supplementing them with modern musical appointments to give you the best of the past and the future of sound.

2:11 has beautiful tone. Thank you for the video !! Glad to see PAD is back
Thank you, and yes, there are some treasures sounds that can be squeezed out of this synth!
Thank you James. I watched it live this morning at 6:00 PDT. I love my UB-Xa that I got from Sweetwater. It is my first polyphonic analog synth. You make great sounds with all you have and provide great insight. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on how you will use it.
Personally I think B missed the mark, I was listening to some OBX8 demos along side what is available on YT for the UBXa, and it just doesn't do what the OBX8 can do.
I had planar cans on when doing so, and the difference between the 2 synths is why you pay the extra.
I had this on the cards, got the Jomox AB instead and to me that is such a better buy for the same $ (got an excellent deal on it and had been wanting one for 2 years).
The next synth I get is ground breaking, it does what I want, and how I want it to.
What I have sitting on my desk right now is taking up 28 analog inputs, so anything that I have to sacrifice to get on the desk, needs to be something special, and that is certainly the way it is looking.
Thx for the upload, much appreciated.
The OB-X8 is basically a remake of the OB-X, SEM based VCO/CVF, with an added Curtis filter and modeled ENVs to get some Xa/8 character. The UB is based on Curtis VCO/VCF. These synth's core sound is based on totally different synths. Neither of them actually nail a complex patch on an OG OB-Xa, or in the case of the X8, an OG Xa/X or OB8.
The X8 has that beautiful SEM filter that is almost as nice as the original, and it can also do Xa/8 pretty well. I prefer the tone of the X8 personally (fizzy high end with a little more evened out bottom), but this is subjective. Again, that filter is everything imo.
On the other hand UB has an 8 bus mod matrix with what appears to be (in the manual) 42 sources and 38 destinations (not 100% sure, but a lot), 16 voices, polyphonic aftertouch keys (that work well imo) more arpeggio modes (and more immediate to use too) with clock, a step sequencer with clock, and 32 Atrophy settings soon to be savable (confirmed) with a preset. That's a lot of sound shaping possibility that is simply not possible on the X8, and when you layer (think of sound designing in two parts to make one patch/sound) you basically double that sound shaping possibility and can still play 8 notes.
I've seen you post under Tom Noise's video a while back, so you know at least some this (if not all) if you watched the video in full.
My point is they shouldn't be compared. They have little in common.
Totally different synths, no SEM filter on the Obxa/Ubxa. They shouldn't be compared!
3:50 That sounds like Karplus Strong Algorithm!
It sounds good, it sounds analog with a vintage character. I will get an OB-X8 this year, but I may get this one as well, I like it.
I wish the preset names and numbers were listed
Another DEMO of the UBXA here: ua-cam.com/video/oxaPrxO92E4/v-deo.html
If I was in the market, read that as had the money, I might consider one but I'd probably go for a Matrix Brute first. Even so, this does sound good!
I think you can get better with the same money, personally I think a Take 5 has more character than both.
The keybed is important too and the T5 has a nice FATAR which is a nice addition.
5 voices might not be much, but when you have a split keyboard that does bass and chords, it's a great feature imo.
I will be doing a UBXA review as soon as I can get to it. I hope it will help out those who watch it.
I like the retro space/effects type stuff but man Behringer really need some decent sound designers. At any rate, some cool sounds are just a search away.
Some people you all should check out regarding the UB-Xa: Scott McAuley, Alphacode Synth Demos & Patches, Gin Sonic, xu.sounddesign, tom noise, The Synth King (post release videos), Studio MDDP, Dr. Synth, Joel Selsfors (for some truly 80s vibes).
Enjoy you all.
Making and modifying patches is a no brainer. And I get they wanted to show off what this thing can do. I think they could have done that in just ONE bank of presets. Starter points for wild crazy stuff. And then added some real good presets that someone can actually use. There are some usable one's in it for sure and all synths suffer from bad presets. But the lack of effects make these presets stand out even more.
@@PureAmbientDrone Yep, with no effects there's even more a reason to hire some talent for your presets imo.
@EnervatedSociety Personally I don't buy presets, but I have been given some from my good friend, Geosynth and have demoed them here on my channel for him.
I will do another demo of the UBXa of the same presets with added effects.
@@PureAmbientDrone I don't buy presets either. I'm totally obsessed with making all my sounds from scratch, no matter the gear. It's a lot of work but I feel it's worth it for my personal projects. I just think synthesizer/gear manufacturers should aim for impressive presets/demos, basically to sell the synths/gear. Not everyone can hear potential, and I think many want to be wowed before buying a synth, or some other gear.
Geosynth is cool, I watch his vids too.
Which one is best. Rev2 or Ubxa.
Ask John, he pretends to know it all.
@@dankeplace whats your opinion on the rev2 vs ubxa thingy
@@janpieternieman5295 like I said, go ask John, whilst I have one, I wont discuss or entertain the likes of you.
People can read what you've posted in his live stream fwiw.
@@dankeplace which live stream, im just a regular guy from the Netherlands
@@janpieternieman5295 He only has one, 3 hours ago, one where you're laughing at PAD, or is your Netherlandic memory failing you?
Now I see why you have so many synths …
