Honestly, it sounds incredible. The oscillators have those vibrant "ringing" mids and rich "burning" low end, and the filter is sublime. I have the Pro-800 and the Monopoly. The Monopoly's filter in particular is beautiful. SSM2044 chip clone. I was going to sell it because I have too much gear and the thing is huge but, man, the filter does funny things in to my brain (dopamine?).
I have 18 Behringer products from synths to drum machines, ZERO issues. Some I've owned for 5 years and still in tune and rock solid performance. Elektron Digitakt 2 is having screen isues among other things. Lets no gare on Behringer because of comments they made. Even Ben did a video praising the 2600 Behringer version saying its the best clone for the price.
ya, the teo5 or this in a deepmind12 sized rack module have more interest to me. i'm even questionig both of these because the take5 doesnt seem super different to me, which i already have. actually, i have really been appreciating the insane differences between the take5 and a gaia2 i recently got. the ober sound is close to the sequential sound.vs the gaia2 digital which is really different
the teo5 has 5 voices that run out fast with pads, something that at %1,500 is unacceptable to me. I used to run out of voices 40 years ago, but that issue with today's DSP horsepower should be largely a thing of the past.
@@odmusicman it's a poly analog not a workstation..smh and gz that this is unacceptable to you. but what does this have to do with my opinion about MY gear? i'm talking about relative sounds, not voice stealing anyway.. maybe read slower or have some coffee before typing cranky, unrelated posts haha. have a good day anyway and ya stay away from those nasty 5 voice analogs.
@@jjrusy7438 I'm a player not a noodler, so I like to play with a broader palette rather than poking at bass lines and running sequencers. So for me, stylistically, it doesn't fit for how I compose and arrange. I'll think about the coffee, that's real useful suggestion for this forum.
@@jjrusy7438 And BTW Looppop, Sonicstate and others with good reputations as reviewers also lamented the 5 voice limit,and I am sure they had coffee before their opinions.
I'm enjoying the content, but maybe just stick with a few good things and keep doing videos on that. I thought the Trigon was a keeper, and maybe the upcoming Teo-5 would be a good fit too. It has a lot of modulation possibilities. I'm not convinced that more voices = better. I still believe the Pro-3 sounds huge compared to a lot of multi voice Synths.
@@YukiTheSynthDragon Yeah sure but you get what I mean.. Just the raw sound and power of the oscillator tells you plenty.. Thats why people request with and without effects.
I think part of why they haven't sold more is the TEO-5 coming out right after this did really cut into what would have been potential sales, I've had this on my radar but I'm really leaning towards getting that (TEO-5) instead
What do you base that on? Do you have sales figures? All I know is that the UB sold out 4 times already. I imagine for that to happen it must be doing ok. BTW, the UB-Xa is based on the Curtis chips, like the OB-Xa and OB-8, not the SEM/OB-X so you shouldn't be expecting a SEM filter, real or otherwise.

“because of comments they made”
You need to ask people over 30, or read better blogs.
Just announced the desktop today, so your prayers are answered.
The desktop is on it's way. They posted a picture of a bunch of them on pallets 13 days ago.
They don't seem to have added it to the product catalog on their website though. That seems odd. I was trying to find the measurements and weight.
@@TooSlowTube Interesting
@@TooSlowTubenow they have 🎉
@@INeedsMoneys Thanks. There's a video out too - lots of waffle, not much detail, unfortunately. Mostly, a guy who likes to hear himself speak.
@@TooSlowTube Sweetwater has specs 11 lbs.
lol desktop version dropped today :P
I paid 470 USD extra and got a UDO S6 desktop instead.
I am no fan of large keybeds.
A module version is coming quite soon. “UB-Xa D.”

My problem is how huge it is, I don't have room for it! If there was a desktop version I would buy it in a heartbeat.
There is a desktop version. Shipping as we speak.
Sounds nice. Just too thin for my ears. The real OBs never disappoint. Especially the OB-6
😂
Yes to more Big Sky (ver 1 if possible) tutorials and how to make the synths sound best with it.
they announced Desktop today
desktop would indeed be much easier sell. going with teo5 instead, may not be the same but size matters :)

TEO 5 yes for sure ❤❤
If you run it through those effects ofcourse it will sound d great!😂
I have never owned a synth that’s sounds great without effects imo
@@YukiTheSynthDragon Yeah sure but you get what I mean.. Just the raw sound and power of the oscillator tells you plenty..

@@helisoma Yeah also Korg Polysix sounded great 2 no effects😃The Behringer version won't though..🙃

Teo 5 will give you a real SEM character.

@@EnervatedSociety random speculation based on how i feel
It's the number one seller for polyphonic keyboards at Thomas and many other major seller sites.
@@MJanovicable And Behringer choose only a few partners to have their gear carried by, so it makes it an extremely bias comparison.
Poly-aftertouch keyboard you wont have that with the desktop.
You will
