Product Information
The Behringer UB-1 is a pocket-sized analogue synthesizer engineered around the legendary 3396/3397 chip architecture found in the Oberheim Matrix 6/1000–a lineage that grounds its character in decades of professional synth design. With dual voltage-controlled oscillators, a 4-pole filter, and 16 touch-sensitive keys, it delivers genuine synthesis capability in a form factor compact enough for bedroom sessions or gigging musicians who value portability without sacrificing sound depth.
The synthesis section includes independent envelope generators for filter and amplifier (VCF and VCA), plus two LFOs capable of modulating both oscillator pitch and filter cutoff across all 32 onboard sound presets. The 3-pattern arpeggiator with hold function adds rhythmic texture generation, while the OLED display and six dedicated function buttons enable real-time parameter tweaking without menu diving. Connectivity covers USB Type-C for power via smartphone, power bank, or computer, alongside comprehensive MIDI implementation with CC control over every parameter and bulk load/save functionality–the SynthTribe app expands patch editing and preset management across macOS and Windows platforms.
The ultra-compact form factor and USB-powered operation make the UB-1 genuinely portable: it slots into a laptop bag or backpack without the bulk or power requirements of larger analogues. For producers integrating hardware into DAW workflows, the full MIDI specification means the UB-1 functions as both a standalone instrument and a controlled synthesizer module within a larger setup.
