Agreed. Nice review, thanks! I have had mine for about 2 weeks now, and the only 2 negatives are the notch-less encoder, which feels a bit flimsy and can move easily when pushing it to enter a value, and the display which can be unreadable at certain angles. Everything else is pretty much unbeatable, especially at this price point! One thing I forgot to mention is the fact that, even though this is an analog synth, it's pretty much in tune from the moment you turn it on, and the synth NEVER drifts off to the point of requiring to recalibrate it! The continuous background auto-tune works really really well!

Mine too! Happy UB-Xa Day!

Thanks Starsky-excellent video. In my experience design choices like where this display was placed are made by management for nostalgic reasons. When the Dev team speaks up they are forcefully silenced, and the bad design makes it to market. This is very unfortunate for this machine. The "Page Two" markings are excellent, and something that Oberheim should have implemented, especially on the OB-6 which suffers dramatically due to the design choice to only provide parameters that could be support by this madness knows an "knob per function." The Atrophy implementation is impressive, and a significant improvement over a "vintage" knob. Too bad it's not a per patch feature. This synth would have been a bit over $400 in the 80s, which is less than an SH-101 went for back then. The value/dollar (or pound) is insane. Like most synths these days it's unfortunate that they didn't provide a multi-timbral mode. Based on the various videos on KZread the sound quality is fantastic, but not as good as the actual Oberheims. Considering the price disparity that's to be expected. Including software is something that should be an industry standard-especially on the synths that cost thousands of dollars/pounds. Behringer is outperforming a lot of the industry, and making products that people want. This is quite impressive. Lastly to comment on the easiness on the eyes quotient. Behringer really needs to upgrade their attractiveness designers, because even with the beautiful blue lines they have still managed to come in second rate. This is quite a trend with their choices, for instance their "orange" in there ARP synths tends to be more of an unattractive brown than orange. While looks don't change how a synth sounds it does effect how often you'll turn to a synth to use it, so it really does matter.

I’ve been thinking about this… I think they’ve worked to a maximum price so stripped out things like metal shafts and bolted on pots, the screen, the memory (extra would be required for atrophy per patch) … none of these are large but added together they bring the total price nearer to other synths like the peak or rev2 8 voice. I think B are keeping it as low as possible to avoid bringing it into similar price ranges as others. What’s essential (metal body) what’s not (OLED screen and metal shafts etc). So nothing in its own results in a large price increase but … maybe with feedback they’ll decide the screen is a worthwhile addition.

Looks like a great synth, but the only way to get less than 16 voices in unison is to inhibit voices in the menu? You’d think there would be a “unison voices” option accessible by holding the button and twisting a knob like on Sequentials. Maybe in a firmware update. On the hold button & chord mode, would engaging Hold, then hold one key and while holding that one, strike each of the additional keys of the chord, then hitting the chord button work?

Ok - the atrophy settings - especially the continual filter drifting is not like any vintage synth I've ever owned or played. A properly functioning vintage analog poly with VCOs should only exhibit very, very subtle differences between voices/tunings/timings - and if they do drift, it's over a much longer period of time - more like several minutes like in old Minimoogs rather than every few seconds. If any vintage synth's individual filters and oscillators are noticeably "drifting" as fast as those examples, especially like that "creamy" setting - it really needs to go to a tech for some major repair. If Behringer really wanted to get that type of effect, they should have not resorted to background auto-tuning. If they would've implemented the typical "tune" button found on things like their older OB brothers and other VCO polys (JP6/8, P5/10/T8/600, etc.) - one that you needed to hit every hour or so as things slowly heated and slowwwwwly shifted to an untuned state. That sounds natural - not that continual shifting like a broken LFO. Sheesh.

You can set drift speed to work over minutes - but it makes for a rather boring video 😂 I’ve had them where the envelopes were completely out of.. and yes I needed to open the hood, but here I’m trying to demo what’s tweakable. You can see it to perfect, subtle or disastrous

@@StarskyCarr sure, lots of synths have LCDs that you can’t read from certain angles. My MS2000 is one example. Even the good ol’ DX7, with its LCD in the centre (and no contrast control) had that issue. I can live with that! (And I guess that’s why Yamaha added the two-digit LED numeric display). In my personal opinion, a way bigger UI crime is to have hundreds of patch slots accessible only with the “twiddle a knob and push a button” method. As far as I’m concerned, all programmable synths should have buttons that allow you to dial up any patch without having to look at a display, and without risking calling up the wrong sound because you inadvertently twisted the encoder a little as you pressed it. It’s not uncommon in a performance situation to need to very quickly and deliberately switch between patches, like between a verse and a chorus. The encoder method simply isn’t accurate and quick enough, plus it requires the player’s visual attention.

The only issue I’ve encountered is the UBxa sending CC7, so turning its volume down silences the modules being controlled. Easily solved by either turning CC RX off in the modules, or muting the UBxa’s mixer channel.

Thank you for this test. I think the addition of polyphonic aftertouch is excellent, personnaly I regret my Ensoniq EPS which had this feature. For pads, strings and brass this is a realy good tool for expression. I think poly aftertouch should be a standard feature on all keyboards.

This looks like and sounds like Behringers best poly synth to date and yes I will say (as a previous Deepmind owner before I sold it) the Deepmind is a poor attempt at a poly synth.

Personally I love my Deepmind. I still haven't explored all its possibilities. It's a different sound sure, and getting thick sounds can require sacrificing half the voices, but having onboard effects and a nice screen for the mod matrix is lovely

What's with the crazy camera exposure.

Oh I know 🤦‍♂️ .. the problem with big windows and variable cloudy/sunny days.

I had a brief play on this keyboard and what lost me was the feel of the keybed - very light and just not great. I don’t pretend to be an expert on synths or keybeds, but my Yamaha SY77 and ASM Hydrasynth Explore both have significantly nicer keybeds. It’s a shame as Behringer appear to have done a stellar job on building essentially an affordable clone and have skimped out on the keybed. Better to add $100 to the price and put in a good quality keybed.

Ducks for cover ! 😆

Did I just hear the sound of the Stranglers Golden Brown?😮

日本での発売はいつでしょうか。 とても楽しみです。 でも、20万円は超えてしまうかな？

Shame on the filter sweep. We need another Filter Sweep February. Also maybe someone at YT who actually cares.

Pleaaaaase talk about the freakin pitch benders and If they’re good and how they compare to others please please 🎉

Not much to say tbh. Theyre different to others and take some getting used to. You can invert them so pushing forwards or backwards increases/decreases mod. But they’re the same as the OB.

@@StarskyCarr that’s pretty great that they did a good job with that (it seems hard to get used to , I would think)

I was very in to this thing 5-6 years ago but got a Prophet rev2 & Take 5 instead - it does have that Curtis sound to it though 👣

You can't argue with the Rev2 and Take5... an excellent combination. I've got the T5 and would definitely pick the Rev2 as the perfect all rounder if I didn't have the others.

I’m hearing a persistent high pitch ting on every sound. Did something get tweaked and left on in the global settings? Could just be my ears, who knows.

Unfortunately, not delivered to Brazil due extreme values of taxes and incomes to import a machine like that. The Brazil effect is terrible.

The screen is VERY hard to read and the knob posts are wobbly.

It’s a replica or clone rather than emulation.

Cambridge dictionary definition of emulation the process of copying something achieved by someone else and trying to do it as well as they have Here’s another imitate with effort to equal or surpass And there’s loads equivalent to these. There is a computing specific definition for emulation but that’s not applicable here.

@@StarskyCarr Fair enough. But commonly the word emulation is used for virtual instruments or software behaving as hardware. To me at least, it was a bit misleading for that reason. Maybe I’m the only one, who knows.

Roland should take note. A sub ish £1,000 16 voice analogue polysynth with a poly AT keybed. Can we please have the desktop module?
