Also how has the synth held up over the time you’ve had it? Any issues?

For price it is amazing....but watching OB - X8 video's it sounds better.than Behringer. I might just pay the 7k for the Oberhiem but be in Heaven the rest of my life.

The Obxa didn't have a SEM filter. TEO is totally different synth, it shouldn't sound the same!

Thanks for asking! I no longer have the UB-Xa (Space issues in my studio, might get the desktop module at some point) And I never managed to save the presets except for the whole completely unorganized bank. I might put that on some cloud for free when I find some time.

No onboard effects. I am using Native Instruments Raum as my favorite reverb :)

Thanks! Was fun to do it. And also made me decide to sell one of them and that was the UB-Xa. And not because it is bad but I do like the other 2 more. Oh and yes, 1. P12, 2nd UB-Xa and 3rd Virus. 👍

@@gin-sonic Thank you for your fast reply. I also loved the two Parts-Video of the Ubxa Pads🤩 This is exactly what I expect the Ubxa to do -warm lively pads with a certain shine or sizzle in the higher frequencies … of I had one… I sometimes still struggle about the existence of my virus in my small collection because it is purely digital, because in the highs there ist more a crunch (somitmes mud) than an silky sizzle, or defined highs in comparison to my analog synths. But the versaility of the oscis, multitimbality an Fx for each, the distinct character of the Virus justifys his beeing! Althrough you can you can drive 6 parts from the Synth individually through external analog filters/fx (e.g. through Modular) PLEASE KEEP IT UP! I'm looking forward to new videos from you! Cheers!

These are Sequential DrumTrak Samples from Mars

😄 That is all I can do with iMovie. I thought most people would listen to the stuff in the background anyway 😉

Almost ;)

Yes it does and I am still amazed how soft and warm the Prophet 12 can sound, once I understood that I should not drive the filter too much because then it gets harsh.

@@gin-sonic 100% buddy same with most synths, gain staging is a huge part of the sound design process :) P12 is an amazing synth! I love mine.

Thanks! I sold the UB-Xa just a few days ago - after I compared it to my Propeth 12 and was able to create similar sounding patches on it. (See my other video) So similar (to me) that I decided to get rid of it although the UB-Xa is a fine synth. It really sounds wonderful.

First one is Prophet 12 😳

@@gin-sonic wow okay, I’m way out then. 😂

@@Shirochri But you are the only one who dared to guess!! 👍

*sysex issues

I have not tried again. It is so unreliable that I believe it needs a software update. Or someone to tell me what I am doing wrong :)

@@gin-sonic thanks for confirming… Holding out for a third party librarian.

That is very kind :) Thanks!

If you press write you can use the +/- value knobs to select a different location, you can even use shift +/- to go to a different bank. So until someone has a librarian you could sort the sounds you like in one bank maybe and then overwrite the patches. I kept most of Bank A because they are the "OB factory presets" but they are not really good. Bank B will be completely overwritten as those presets just don't gel with me.

@@gin-sonic good solution, cheers

Thanks and valid point! I might consider that with a few of these sounds.

My favorite chorus from TAL and Native Instruments RAUM plugin in Ableton.

Not really.

@@symbiat0 Because? You would hear the difference in a mix, of course... 🙂 ("It's a great synthwave song, BUT it's not an Obi pad, just a Behringer copy, tsk tsk..."

@@Aetila Go watch Starsky’s comparison. Also the OBX-8 is like three synths in one, having presets and all the filters from the OB-X, OB-Xa, and OB-8.

Hi! Yes it works as a midi controller, the knobs transmit MIDI, not sure about the buttons. Even Volume transmits CC7. I am fine with the PAT but this is my first PAT keyboard and nothing to compare to. Playing piano with it I don't know. I played Rhodes sounds with it and was quite happy with the result but the keybed is very light. If that is your main interest I would go for something else. NI has an 88 PAT keyboard with hammer action now.

CC7 TX is counterproductive if you’re using the UBxa as a controller… turn volume down and your controlled synth is silent. I’ve resorted to setting my Hydrasynth desktop to not receive CCs as a work-around which I’m sure will become limiting.

I can only suggest to go through the banks once(except A, which s***s!) and write down your favorite patches on a sheet of paper... and then just overwrite all others with your own sounds. The most important button combination is SHIFT+WRITE to initialize a patch!!! I created my own init patch and stored it on A1 so I can start with my favorite settings already. Including some in the mod matrix for PolyAT and Velocity. Enjoy the UB-Xa!

@@gin-sonicgood morning thank you for the helpful information if I can ask on Bank A presets 118 through 127 are yours blank also?

My display is on 14 :) And yes you can only see it from a certain angle which should not be the case in 2024. Not sure why Behringer does that but i enjoy the synth too much to be bothered.

@@gin-sonic My sentiment exactly.

Thanks! Yes I might do this, still not sure what the best way is but I am evaluating possibilities! First I will release another video :)

I agree many of the factory presets are poor and don't show off what the ubxa can do.

Glad you like them!

Yep, they both have their place, I am glad I own both. Ub-Xa filter can sometime sound so smooth and "creamy", JP usually is as you said more in your face and raw.
