@@SheetmusicLessons did you set/tune the VCOs correctly ?

@@tomnoise23 Yes, I was able to tune it with VCO 1, right?

@@SheetmusicLessons the best way is to use one vco only and use a tuner (maybe the one in your daw) - Then play a midi note (for instance, a C) and tweak the tune faders until the tuner displays a C. From there you can use this VCO as reference. If you don‘t have a tuner at hand you can use a reference note as audio signal and tune the 2600 to it.

@@tomnoise23 Ok thank you very much! You are a valuable resource, I think I will bother you often :)

@@SheetmusicLessons Hard to tell-can you send a picture?

@@tomnoise23 By following your guide I was able to get to the same sound as you, and also solved the problem of the sound never disappearing. A very complex machine, I will follow with much interest the other tutorials related to the B2600

@@SheetmusicLessons ah ok - thought you already watched it. Glad that it’s solved. Have fun with your 2600!

@@slimyelow thanks :)

@@NicoLücke-l4q sounds like you have unison activated. Press unison or shift unison to get back to poly

@@UniQueWerkx no I didn‘t . The concept is similar though.

@@joel82045 yes

@@danielperkins7311 I had my demos on soundcloud back in the day. Seems that someone else used my demos for his video.

@@metaspherz Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated and I‘m glad that my video is useful for you!

@@dpalaoro I can’t recall exactly, but I think it isn’t possible.

@@dpalaoro sorry, I sold it and I can‘t recall the details anymore. It might be different for later firmware.

@@TheJrwalker77 please See my answer to the comment from user Kallewalle.

Thank you kind sir for your reply, I have read through this thoroughly, not sure why I still have trouble. I will upload a video of my problem., perhaps you can comment on my order of operations! I will send the link soon!

@@DanielDapin Shift & +/- should work. th-cam.com/video/DgQslX6uupM/w-d-xo.html

✌@@tomnoise23 Yes, it works! Thank you very much!

@@mwdiersFirst I was confused about some things, too but some of these functions only start to make sense (and have an immediate effect) in unison mode and with a certain playing style. Those functions are all per Voice. For instance if you think about it, on a polyphonic synthesizer it is to be expected, that all voices are audible at their actual pitches if the VCA opens up. If Retrigger it’s off, the Attack will pick up the level of the envelope from the actual release level, if this voice is played again. It has an obvious effect in unison mode or if many voices are playing, like in double mode with full chords and longer release times.

@@kostia9246 sure, should work flawlessly via it’s midi output.

@@ingostromitzky497 Sorry, I don’t know- don’t have a pedal connected at my UB-Xa.

@@tomnoise23 ok thanks 🙏

@@ingostromitzky497 Oh, just wondering why you where asking: Are you aware that the hold pedal works different than usual on an OB-Xa and also on the UB-Xa? It will add a soft release to the sound, instead of holding the tone. But it can be configured as hold pedal in one of the menus (can't recall in which one right now).

@@tomnoise23 thanks, I know that but on my UB-Xa the Sostenuto works exactly like Sustain, I will double check the manual😊👍

@@ingostromitzky497 cool, good luck. Some features are in unexpected places on that synth.

@@kvmoore1 The panning can be set for each voice individually as a part of the Atrophy profile. Means: yes, now it can be stored with each patch.

@@tomnoise23 That's absolutely wonderful and exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you very much!

@@ionian8606 That’s the correct version number for what Behringer calls 2.0

@@tomnoise23 thanks for explaining. B’s numbering is a little counterintuitive!

@@ionian8606 that’s a very diplomatic description 😉

@@CoachGareth thank you

@@sauermusicDE right- I think I was not specific enough so it’s leading to misunderstandings. The „missing“ Parameters are now editable directly from the buttons. Means, the workflow is different now, but the parameters are still available at other places.

@@tomnoise23 Ahhhh....ok. 👍

Ah, I see - sorry I should have added a short explanation of this to the video. So if you open the voice menu, by tapping shift&voice, you can set the save location to "Current Patch" and make your desired changes to the Atrophy settings. When you scroll further down in the voice menu, then you have the option to copy any existing Profile, too, which is also handy as a starting point for your own settings. If you write that Patch, then it will always load with the Atrophy settings that you have assigned to that patch. When you have a patch loaded, which was saved with particular Atrophy settings, then pressing shift&Vintage will show "Atrophy Profile: patch". The globally selected Atrophy setting will stay for every patch that has the save location set to "Atrophy profile." Hope that makes sense?

@@tomnoise23 Thx a lot! :-)

Q: So do I want to change the atrophy setting that I want saved with the individual patch before or after I change the save location? I mean, first change globally within the patch I want to save, then change the save location to patch, then save the patch, then go back to global settings and put it back where I want the rest of the patches set? I'm so confused for some reason.

@@TheJrwalker77 Yeah seems confusing but it’s quite simple: Start with changing the save location to „current patch“, then apply your changes or copy any existing profile and then save the patch. The global vintage setting is not affected.

​@@tomnoise23sorry for continued questions, but did you notice that the firmware # changed in the global settings? Mine didn't, but the firmware on the updater software says 2.8.1. Also, I am finding that I DO have to go back and change the atrophy settings, as changing them continues to change it globally. Once saved as you described, the atrophy setting will remain as saved per individual patch. Weird. Great synth though! Thanks so much for your help! 🎉❤

Thanks for your comment. I think this affects the midi out behaviour. With the older firmware there was this issue, that you could not send out Poly AT to midi, if the parameter "ArpSeqSel" was not activated. Also this contains a few bugfixes when the unit is in dual mode, so it's more reliable and you have less unexpected results. Just for instance, with the older version there were some issues here and there while editing patches in dual mode, when using local off with a DAW.

@@tomnoise23 thanks for your reply Tom. From watching the Behringer 2.0 promo video it sounded like there was a bit more was going on with how the key pressure response affects the tone. I look forward to trying it out when I receive my replacement UB-Xa as the first one I received only last Friday had an issue with some of the keys sticking. Unfortunately this problem did not go away even after playing it for some time over the weekend so I’m getting it replaced.

@@reubenhumphreys6039 That’s possible, but I don’t use Poly AT a lot. My keyboard playing skills are not really great, so I’m not sure if it’s much different than before. Good luck with your replacement unit!

@@Marky8864 The update went smoothly and it didn’t delete any patches. But it will reset the global settings. Of course, It’s never wrong to make a SysEx dump as a backup of all patch banks before updating. Just in case, if something goes wrong.

@@kevanbarrett7411 the new firmware is online and will be updated using the Synthtribe app. Seems that they didn’t update the documentation yet.

Thanks. I’m not familiar with Synthtribe but I can see a version for windows for the desktop version only. Is there a keyboard version that I need?

@@kevanbarrett7411 if you download Synthtribe 2.80 and open it, it should offer an update if you’re synth is connected via usb. It’s an universal app that works for many Behringer synths

Ok thanks I’ll try it tomorrow. 😊

@@tomnoise23 Thanks . All sorted now.

@@decimal1815 I assume that will be changed at some point in the production run later. The first desktop units are also delivered with that red one. Only the rendered pic has the other color yet.

I think it's okay, but very light action. Personally I prefer the NI Kontrol S MK3. Other than that, I didn't have any issues with the UB-Xa Keyboard so far. But I'm not a live player.

@@tomnoise23 OK. I may go for Hydrasynth for poly aftertouch then. I still can't believe we are in 2024 and most companies do not impliment poly aftertouch. (Roger Linn frowning.)

@@tomnoise23 What about using the native Instruments as the controller for the UBXA, is it worth it for just the feeling of better aftertouch?😄

@@markslandingsandaviationvi3123 I don’t get the point. Did I say that? 😆 But seriously, UB-Xa D plus your favorite controller could be an option, no?

@@tomnoise23 My bad😄 My point is if the midi makes any difference to how Poly Aftertouch feels/works. Many use the Hydrasynth as the preferred controller for Poly Aftertouch.

Sure! The new mod sources are: Drift1, Drift2 and DriftF. The new destinations: FiltDriftA, FiltDriftS, OscDriftA, OscDriftS

@@tomnoise23 Thanks!

@@SamLibman you're welcome. Added to the description as well.

Thank you! ✌🏻😎🎹🌴🌞

@@Gerald_Daniel thanks. Atrophy settings 32/33 are for setting the mod and performance LFOs limits. They both can go up to 60 Hz.

@@tomnoise23 Thank you so much!!! I'd not expected that. A dream came true! Now I could almost fully mimic OB8 & go way beyond that (after having aquired a unit). Obviously behringer has giant ears!

@@Gerald_Daniel You‘re welcome. Though this was possible with the older firmware as well. The upper speed limits didn’t change.

OK, then my LFO question (I guess) last fall was a slight misunderstanding. Nonetheless, very happy (if not strongly impressed) that the instrument experiences significant improvements.

@@michielklarenbeek3909 whoa… I can relate to that. On the other hand you’ll initially get all the improvements too! 🙃 Shame that canadian stores are not able to deliver yet! But I’m wondering: Wouldn’t be stores like sweetwater be an option for you?

Oh yeah, and Reverb too. I saw a listing from a store in New York that had it $300 cheaper (even after exchange). But......we get whip sawed on duty. That's on our end. I've ordered modulars, and had the duty be as much as what I paid for the module
