UB-Xa ( Keyboard and Desktop ) from Behringer

Not when you have 61 on your TI2 and OB-XA anyway :wink:

Turn the world upside down. A desktop polysynth, absolutely unprecedented :upside_down_face:

Are the virtual keys Poly AT? :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess I do have a Poly AT controller, but…

Would be nice for the UB Xa D to have a poly-aftertouch in MIDI interface. It has more voices than MPE ( by one – assuming 16 again ). It’s probably not reasonable to expect a MIDI 2.0 implementation, state of the world getting to a place where that is becoming useful.

Behringer has the cost for their poly-aftertouch 61 key keybed so incredibly low, i won’t think the price of the UB Xa D will be a lot below the keyboard. ( Though starting from that base, it will be a very good deal anyway. )

UB-Xa is no longer on the horizon but in the background of the launch video of the Blug-in

Here’s a demo with focus on contemporary sounds for Melodic Techno, Ambient, Dub Techno and Electronica. Maybe you find it useful

Does this forum have a place to share patches for free? That $25 B patch pack doesn’t sound so good to my ears or is it the synth?

UB-XA Desktop shipping yet no store has it on their site and Behringer hasn’t given it a price tag either. :thinking:

Watch this space. They will go quite fast.

Now here’s where is gets interesting. The Teo 5 comes in at £1500 or so. I expect the Desktop Behringer will be about £700.

Seems they have updated the display to a white one. Not that it was a dealbreaker, but white lcd looks better than the red one.


The price is down to £899 at Andertons again, maybe thats the old red lcd stock?

Seems that you can preorder the Desktop-Version, now. Appears that they also decided to use a different display.

And also at Sweetwater (799 $)

This sounds stupid good.

512 user program memories with “compare and match” feature to quickly match all analog controls to stored program values

This got me curious. Is it like a catch up thing where the knobs doesn’t alter the sound until it’s reached its preset position?

According to SynthAnatomy the desktop version doesn’t have a USB MIDI Host connection. Easy enough to get around and certainly there are other synths like this, but would be nice to have.

SynthAnatomy has gotten things wrong before too, so don’t know this to be true.

It seems that the keyboard version also does not have USB host functionality. There is no USB-A port.

The keyboard is £200 dearer than the newly announced D and has poly aftertouch. Try finding a Midi controller for £200 with that. Makes more sense to get this.

Space limitations were my excuse for ignoring the UB-Xa Keys. The desktop really does look appealing…
