To me, for my music, the sound is lush, rich, and deep. Several of the musicians who worked on the Beta testing and development did great reveals of it's sound. The keybed was my question. Congratulations on getting yours!!! Keep up the good work.

    Great video 👍. Can the sequencer be modulated using the keyboard? I really hope so because it's frustrating that only Arturia seem to understand it's a must-have feature in a step sequencer. Nothing is more annoying than using multiple patterns to implement a transposing sequence that should be one-finger e.g. Dervish D by Vangelis or Équinoxe Parts 5 to 7.

    Hello! Nice review, very detailed! Thank you! How do you think, is Behringer capable to make a fully multitimbral analog synth... Let's say: 8 voices, 3 osc each (tri, saw, square, sine - morphing, PWM, FM, RM, Cross modulation), 1 noise/voice, 2 independent resonant filters (multi LP/BP/HP/Notch + moog style, serial/parallel modes, filter overdrive), stereo VCAs with separated panning for both filters, 2 ADSR + 1 AR envelopes/voice (all fully assignable for any input), 2 multiwave LFO/voice + 1 vibratto LFO, 8 part multitimbral, separated stereo outputs. Some DM12 style mod. matrix (with branched dependencies) will be a good part of this synth. Plus a modern FX block with separate FXs for every timbre + 3 send FX slots. Is this possible, what do you think? I know one hardware analog synthesizer that almost match these specs... It was priced below 1000$. Personally I doubt that Uli can "afford" to create this.

    Vielen Dank for the objective review. This machine is for those that don't want to fork over 5K for the OB-X8, or some insane amount for an 80s built, yet still be able to get out the same sound. 16 voices and poly after, that's something the originals simply don't have. And unless one insists to show-off the Ob logo on a stage (many actually tape their synth fronts) this one does all and double at half the price. Which is still considerable. Not your usual 500 gold coins Behringer Hardware.

    This is the first proper review of the UB-Xa I've seen - Great stuff. Regarding the presets - I may be wrong but did B not try to recreate the originals? In which case they would not respond to the poly AT. However, it's a massive shame that B seems to have a thing about 'authenticity' (which makes me worry about the DS-80) and they really should have tweaked the presets and, heck, how haard would it be to add a digital reverb and delay algo?

    What could be the perfect first guitar for a Synth player like me? 😁 I would say that it is a copy of a very traditional instrument. Like if you buy an Epiphone LesPaul instead of a „real“ Gibson. Or Squier vs Fender.

    Very nice. Can't wait to receive mine (has not arrived yet). But makes me wonder, how Behringer always fails in the presets? Deepmind has pretty weak presets, Pro-800 same (or actually worse, it is weird when bank has no sounds I would use), and now again UB-XA. Why can't they hire a decent sound designer to make decent presets as pretty much everybody else succeeds in that. IMO presets should at least demonstrate the features of the synth and act as quick-starting point for own sounds, but nah, got to start from init sound apparently with this one too.

    Make your own if you think the presets are so terrible! If you can't, there why are you complaining? On the deepmind you can even combine 4 different shitty presets if you want and fade between The deepmind also has some great presets, especially if you open up the mod matrix (have you ever even touched it?l) and see all the details that go into some of them Presets should only be used to save settings you can never remember fully. You should be working on creating any sound you imagine FROM SCRATCH on something that has no presets.

    If there wasn't such a cult of old synth worship maybe Behringer could invest their time and energy in designing something a bit more interesting and exciting. It seems they are capable, but like many other manufacturers, they are stuck in the synth vomit rut. Having said that, the price point is impressive and does seem to represent value for money, which cant be said for some clones.

    Nice review, but i think it's ridiculous to say that "it's a clone of a synth from a company that was bankrupted decades ago" implying that there isn't a way to get a new Oberheim when they're very much in business again and just released a new Oberheim OB-X8. Sure, this is cheaper and more accessible to many, many people. But the biggest problem people have with Behringer is that they're not only making clones of impossible to find old equipment, but also new products from companies that do all the development and design just to get ripped off by Behringer. While this synth is definitely in a bit of a grey area regarding that it would still be nice to acknowledge that you can also buy a new Oberheim that is based on decades of work of Tom Oberheim, and that is not made in China by the biggest d**k in the music equipment industry.

Is the Behringer version affordable, well built, and sounds awesome? Yes. Does what Behringer is doing to the synth market make the vintage synth market look stupid? Yes. You may hate Uli, but I applaud him. He's not doing anything different and definitely not worse than any other manufacturer in China. In fact I have a friend that works in his factory and he's happy with the conditions and thinks it's pretty cool! So go figure.
