With an impressive 16 voices, the UB-xa has twice as many voices as the original. The consistently beautiful and rich basic sound of this polyphonic analogue synthesizer has been inspiring for over 40 years and has been used in countless songs. Fans will probably remember Van Halen's "Jump", Prince's "1999" and "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. The keyboard synthesizer has a very comfortable 61-key keyboard, which even generates velocity and aftertouch and passes them on to the sound generator. In addition, there are a number of new features that purists and fans of the original Oberheim sound will be happy to take on board. The reissue of the UB-xa also comes in a timelessly beautiful and elegant pinstripe look and - how could it be otherwise - its parameterization covers all sweet spots, which is also typical for analogue polyphonic synthesizers of this era. The new UB-Xa Behringer has taken the opportunity to implement a few new features in the UB-Xa. In addition to the significantly expanded sound memory, both LFOs have a larger waveform selection and the oscillators have each been expanded to include a triangle waveform. The noise generator is now infinitely variable and the modulation section has been expanded to include a few destinations. Thanks to the new shift function, many parameters can benefit from an extended range of functions. Also new are Arpeggiator and a step sequencer. Any four presets can be assigned to four keys, so you always have direct access to your favourite sounds. All the new features are supported by a display. The sound generation The two assertive oscillators with a radiant yet velvety smooth sound each have sawtooth, triangle and square waveforms (including adjustable pulse width); oscillator 1 can also be synchronized to oscillator 2. The volume ratios for the oscillators can only be switched on/off for oscillator 1 and off/half/full for oscillator 2. A noise generator can be added to the tone generators. The filter module of the UB-Xa is a CEM3320, which has a round and rich sound, does not go too steeply into resonance and can be switched between 12dB and 24dB. It has already been used in classics such as Crumar Trilogy, Elka Synthex, Linndrum, PPG Wave 2, Sequential Pro-One and of course the Prohet-5. Modulation The modulations are assigned primarily on the left-hand side of the...
