Behringer UB-Xa

CurrentReleased 2023

Sixteen-voice analogue polysynth modelled on the Oberheim OB-Xa, with VCOs and filters based on the original 3340 and 3320 chips and the factory patches included. It adds a 61-key keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, split and layer, eight vintage voice modes and 512 memories. It suits players chasing the big 80s Oberheim brass and pad sound for a fraction of vintage prices.
