Common Behringer UB-Xa Questions
How do I configure the UB-Xa to receive MIDI from my DAW or external keyboard?
Ensure the UB-Xa's MIDI channel is set to the same channel as your DAW or keyboard's output in the Global Settings menu (accessed via Shift + Global). Also, verify that MIDI Thru is off if you only want the UB-Xa to respond to incoming MIDI.
Where are patterns, presets, and kits saved and how do I manage them?
Presets and kits are saved internally within the UB-Xa's memory (128 presets, 64 kits); there's no external storage or SD card slot. Patterns (sequences) are also stored internally, utilizing a dedicated section of the memory.
How do I quickly initialize a sound from scratch on the UB-Xa?
Press the "Init Patch" button (Shift + COMPARE) to reset all parameters to default values, giving you a clean slate for sound design. Make sure to save your changes when you're done.
My UB-Xa seems to be outputting no sound. What should I check?
First, verify the volume knobs on both the UB-Xa and your audio interface are turned up. Then, check that the "Cutoff" is not fully closed and that the oscillators are enabled and not muted.
How does the UB-Xa's 'Voice Allocation' work, and what are the benefits of its different modes?
The Voice Allocation parameter (found in the Global settings menu) determines how the 16 voices are assigned, ranging from polyphonic keyboard playing, to unison stacked sounds, to layering up to four different timbres in multi-timbral mode for complex layered sounds and sequences.
