Behringer UB-Xa - Polyphonic Aftertouch Sound Demo

This little piece of music showcases the superb keybed of the UB-Xa. It provides velocity sensivity and polyphonic aftertouch enabling you to play your music with extraordinary expressivity. In this split performance filter frequency, volume, LFO speed and intensity of the upper preset (in unison mode employing only one voice) is controlled by poly aftertouch. Moreover volume, VCF and VCA attack is also controlled by velocity.

The lower pad sound uses OB-8 “second page” functions such as LFO rate delay here controlling panorama position. Furthermore LFO rate is influenced by poly aftertouch as well.

This music genre beggs for delay and reverb. I´ve used two Lexicon PCM 70 connected to my main mixing desk as send effects . Everything is played life and recorded in one take without any edits or further audio processing.
Enjoy the music!

This is one of my favorite tracks. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art.

Nice demo 👍. I'm one of those who don't give a crap about how close it comes to an original as long as it sounds great. It's definitely a candidate for my specific needs.

[TheDavidPoole]

You really make that synth sing. I don't think that there can be any doubt now that this is a great sounding machine. Thanks man!

[TH_FURY]

That track is so sweet, love it.. It gives me goosebump !
Great demo !

I've listened to all of your superb UB-XA demos over and over. And this is the one that got me to list my OB-6 on Reverb. The tone is so beautiful, and the melodies you come up with are exactly what I aspire to play. When I get mine, the first thing I'm going to do is pick apart this tune and attempt to recreate your performance.

Thank you for a demo that sent chills up my spine!

Wonderful playing synth 👑. Now we just need them to release it!

[ManCalledMif]

Beautiful demo sounds and playing AWESOME

[GarethFrow]

Great warmth and expressiveness. Not everyone can do those left hand 10ths tho :)

[andreasheinakroon]

That's a lovely and rich sound, and the poly aftertouch really brings it to life! Great demo!

I can't wait to play Rush Subdivisions and Countdown. <3

[rexologram]

This legitimately gave me chills. I cannot wait until this thing is released...

Having owned an Ensoniq SQ-80 (actually 2 now!) for 20+ years, I am glad to see PolyAT keyboards making it back into the mainstream.
In fact I'm hopeful Behringer will make an SQ-80 alike (rather than ESQ-1).. but what about an equally expressive feature, Release Velocity ? Another Ensoniq, the Mirage sampler, had that..

[astrogerry]

Wow ... really a cool demo !!!
Thanks for sharing, my friend !!!

[payt]

That's awesome, good luck trying something like this on the original OB-Xa or even the OB-X8 :)

[jtruba]

Beautiful! You should take that sound or a very slight variation and cover “Losing It” by Rush

[zechariahfrink]

Man I really dig all of demos you’ve done of what this synth will be capable of! Can’t wait till it’s out! Do you know when Behringer plans on releasing it? I hope they plan on letting you test the DS-80 when that’s ready. I’m really excited for that and hope they can get that done. We need a CS-80 type synth available that’s not gonna cost 50+K and needing expensive repairs lol!

[lairdtomfrenchelectromusic]

Without a doubt, you wear your pseudonym "Synth King" wonderfully.
Magnificent interpretation !!! :)

Hammersound - thanks for the great demo!
