Behringer UB-Xa Synthesizer
- Legacy and Features:
- The UB-Xa embraces the legacy of the original OB-Xa synthesizer, which contributed to iconic hits in the 80s by artists like Rush’s Geddy Lee, The Police, Prince, Van Halen, and even the Terminator theme composed by Brad Fiedel.
- It retains the original OB-Xa’s growl and sizzle while adding modern features like velocity and after-touch sensitivity, 512 user program memories, and comprehensive MIDI implementation.
- Sound Engine:
- The UB-Xa features 16 voices with 2 VCOs per voice and oscillator sync mode.
- Its VCOs and VCFs are heavily based on the original 3340 and 3320 chip designs, ensuring authentic sound.
- You can split the keyboard to layer two different sounds, allowing for massive riffs.
- Keyboard and Controls:
- The synth comes with 61 full-sized, semi-weighted keys with polyphonic after-touch and velocity sensitivity.
- The 8-channel modulation matrix provides extreme flexibility for sound shaping.
- With 26 rotary controls and various other functions, you have direct control over VCOs, LFOs, ADSR generators, and VCAs.
- User Program Memories:
- Save up to 512 user program settings, making it easy to recall your favorite tones.
- Assign them to pre-set recall switches for quick changes during performances.
- Vintage Modes:
- The UB-Xa allows you to select from 8 synthesizer signatures, including OB-Xa, OB-8, and more.

Number of Keys: 61
This instrument has 61 keys, equivalent to 5 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.
Keyboard Type: Velocity-Sensitive
Keys are sensitive to the speed at which they are struck, which means they react to the force used to strike. The harder you press the key, the louder the sound becomes, allowing you to add dynamics and expressiveness to your playing.
Aftertouch: Yes
Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.
Envelope: Yes
The Envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of the sound. This filter provides greater flexibility in adjusting and customizing sound characteristics, enhancing the overall quality and expressiveness of the performance.
Oscillators: Yes
A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.
Sequencer: Yes
The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.
Arpeggiator: Yes
The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

Pedal Inputs: Yes
The pedal input allows you to connect an external pedal that expands the instrument's control capabilities and contributes to a richer musical expression, increasing flexibility and expressiveness when playing and creating music.
MIDI Interface: Yes
It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.
