Common Behringer UB-Xa Keyboard Questions
How do I sync the UB-Xa's arpeggiator or sequencer to an external MIDI clock?
Connect your external MIDI clock source to the UB-Xa's MIDI In port. Then, in the Global settings menu (accessed via Shift + Utility), set the MIDI Clock Source to 'External'.
How do I save my own custom sounds (presets) on the UB-Xa?
After creating a sound, press the 'Write' button, select the desired memory location using the bank/preset buttons, and press 'Write' again to confirm the save; be aware that preset names are not supported, you only have numbered slots.
The UB-Xa sometimes seems unresponsive, and I get stuck notes. What could be causing this?
Try adjusting the 'Local Control' setting in the Global menu. Setting it to 'Off' will disconnect the keyboard from the internal sound engine, helpful if you're only using it as a MIDI controller. Also, ensure your MIDI buffer size is sufficient in your DAW.
What is the difference between 'Layer A' and 'Layer B' on the UB-Xa, and how do I use them?
The UB-Xa is bi-timbral, meaning it can play two different sounds simultaneously. Layer A and Layer B represent these two separate sound engines, which can be layered for complex sounds or played independently using MIDI channel assignments.
Can I use the UB-Xa's built-in sequencer to control other MIDI instruments?
Yes, the UB-Xa's sequencer can send MIDI notes and control change messages to external devices. Connect the UB-Xa's MIDI Out to your external device's MIDI In, and ensure the correct MIDI channel is selected on both the UB-Xa (for the sequencer track) and the receiving device.
