A modern synth with the heart of a great
Embrace your heritage and make history with the UB-Xa from Behringer. More than a mere recreation of the classic Oberheim OB-X synth, it is a complete replica of all the key features that were part of the original, complete with modern features such as volume sensitivity or aftertouch functionality, 512 user program memories and comprehensive MIDI implementation. This makes the UB-X a well-equipped synthesizer that is guaranteed to find a place in your lineup. With its VCOs and VCFs heavily based on the original 3340 and 3320 chip design, 16 voices and the ability to split its keyboard so you can layer 2 different sounds, the UB-Xa is capable of conjuring up massive sounding riffs. The UB-Xa is a synthesizer like no other. It stands on the shoulders of a great man, and it is his legacy that gave birth to the most iconic hits of the 80's by the world's most famous artists! From Geddy Lee of Rush, The Police, Prince to Van Halen, and even the iconic Terminator theme composed by Brad Fiedel. The UB-Xa family tree is full of iconic sounds and now you can make history too.

Sound under control
The UB-Xa features 61-key semi-weighted mechanics with standard key sizes, polyphonic aftertouch, and dynamic sensitivity that recognizes every nuance of your playing from soft, feathery touches to intense chordal fire. An eight-channel modulation matrix gives you extreme flexibility and expands the possibilities the UB-Xa sonically offers. With 26 rotary knobs and countless other features, you have direct control over the UB-Xa's VCOs, LFOs, ADSR generators and VCAs, and can shape your sound in an almost unlimited number of ways. For creative sound creation, you'll appreciate: 2x VCO/voice in oscillator sync mode, both VCOs generate sawtooth, triangle or square waveforms with variable pulse width, 2 dedicated LFOs with seven waveforms for pulse width modulation, oscillator pitch and filter cutoff frequency, 2 ADSR voice generators to control VCF and VCA, optional analog 12/24 dB low-pass filter with variable steepness and adjustable resonance, flexible eight-channel modulation matrix or dual-layer arpeggiator, and sequencer with real-time sequence transposition.

Build your preset base
Finding the sound you've been searching for for hours is one of the most rewarding things about playing a synthesizer. That's why we've included up to 512 user-programmable memories, allowing you to save any preset you can think of. You can even assign settings to one of the preset recall switches, so you can change presets on the fly, mid-jam.
