    UB-Xa Firmware is Now Complete! | Synthesizers
    We got some really good news. The firmware for the is now completed and we're moving closer to delivering this beautiful synth. However, to be clear, we're still many months away from delivery.
     
     
    Our next step is to build 50 pre-production samples and start an extensive test program with internal and external beta testers to ensure the synth will have undergone the most stringent quality testing. If you like to participate in the testing of the UB-Xa, come join the beta tester team. However, please note that there a critical requirements associated with this program.
    1. You do own an original Oberheim OB-Xa in order to do extensive comparisons.
    2. You have deep technical understanding and knowledge related to professional testing procedures and sound analysis
    3. You do own a video channel and you're willing to create several comparison videos.
    4. You're willing to create great sound patches with your name attached.
    If you meet these criteria, please contact us at [email protected] and provide us with detailed information related to the above 4 points. We will select max 20 beta testers and reward them with a free unit in return for their extensive efforts.
    We're super excited about this flagship synth. We know that it has taken much time, but we're very proud of our Manchester engineering team who have done an amazing job by creating a complete new technology platform, which will allow us to develop the next analog poly-synths in record time.
    We're just warming up:-)
    And one more thing. We have recently launched our Music Tribe market place where you can buy and sell equipment - all for free. Unlike eBay or Reverb, we take zero commission. Check out https://freemusictribe.com

    USB/MIDI to CV/Gate interface for our Eurorack modular system | Synthesizers
    A lot of you asked us for a USB/MIDI to CV/Gate interface for our Eurorack modular system.
     
     
    Not only did we listen but also we designed it with a high-resolution 16-bit Texas Instruments converter so you get extremely accurate control voltages. We plan to deliver this module before end of year - of course as always at a very reasonable price.
    We’re excited to see our Eurorack family is grow:-)

    Bheringer Crave's patchbay connected to smartphone | Synthesizers

    Hello everyone, 

    I've connected a smartphone jack output into the input patchbay of a Behringer Crave and i played a waveform generator app to pilot some parameter on the Crave. Only after doing that i've read that the patchbay inputs have a maximal of voltage, so my question is: i've damaged the Behringer Crave doing this ? What is the maximal voltage output of a smartphone/tablet output if i set the volume at max ?

      Rex Beckett Hi Luca, according to the Crave specifications, most of the patchbay inputs can take -5V to +5V. I have never seen a smartphone with a headphone output that high. I think +/- 3V is the most you would get.

        Luca Maneschi Very nice, thanks a lot for reassurring me. What is the method to calculate it if you know ?
        • Oct 24
      • Bheringer Crave's patchbay connected to smartphone
        Rex Beckett The specification for the smartphone will usually show a value for maximum power (P) with a given headphone load impedance (Z). The peak output voltage can be estimated from SQRT(P x Z x 2) - where P is in Watts and Z is in Ohms.

    Odyssey oscillator bleed | Synthesizers

    Hi all,

    I'm hearing something a bit off on my Odyssey.  After sounding a note, if the VCA is above some minimum *but less than maximum* then after the note dies off, it slowly starts building in volume again.  I get that the old ARPs had oscillator bleed, but I'm curious why this doesn't happen at max VCA.

    Thanks.

    MS-1 not able to save sequences | Synthesizers

    Dear all,

    My MS-1 (latest firmware) for some reason does not want me to save sequences, both keybord of step.

    I follow the manual step by step, or follow tutorials on youtube, but nothing works. Is there any way to find out what is wrong?

    What I also noticed is that my 'Location led' does NOT blink, and in all tutorials, it does blink. Could this have something to do with the isse? It does indicate keyboard or step (green/yellow) and it does point out different banks or patterns. But no blinking.

      Joe Rivers Hi Frank, are you using the original power supply here? Have you got your clock source set to internal on the SynthTool?
      • Oct 12
      • MS-1 not able to save sequences
        Frank Bibo Yes, original power supply. Clock source is midi, because it is supposed to be the slave of my RD8.

    Behringer Poly D: No sound issue | Synthesizers

    To anyone who could be of assistance,

    I'm new to synths as a whole for background. I recently (less than a month ago) bought a new behringer poly d. I'm trying to use a keyboard to amp setup and am having issues getting it to make any sound. 1/4 inch TRS cables and the power supply are connected. The light at the top left of the synth lights up when I push a key as well but the only thing I hear with the volume loud enough is the faintest, soft pop from the keyboard amp. I'm running into the same issue with headphones as well. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

     

    Best,

    Diego

      Joe Rivers Hi Diego, Please ensure the following:

      You have switched your oscillators on using the red switches
      You have turned the volume up of each oscillator
      The filter mode is set to LO and the Cutoff frequency is up
      The main volume is turned up
      You have tested all outputs and headphones

      • Behringer Poly D: No sound issue
        Diego Jacuinde Hey Joe, I’ve done all the following and have made some progress. I still don’t have the sound coming through but instead of the faint pop in my amp, I can hear a “white noise” like humming whenever I hold the keys. Same frequency of him regardless of low or high note key. I’m not sure what else it could be. Thanks again for all the help.

      Brian Fine Hey Diego - I work for Musician's Friend and I'm working with a gentleman that has the same exact issues that you described with his Poly-D - curious as to what finally made the Poly-D produce sound for you.

    Poly D started squealing (the way we DON'T like) when USB connected with Synth ... | Synthesizers

    SInce then I haven't been able to connect with USB - it looks like it's sending a crazy amount of MIDI info and all I get is whining and growling and it's not controllable. Using it without USB since then there is a click and whine when I lift my fingers off the keyboard. Also a whine continuously in para and poly mode.

    I've enjoyed the Poly D since I got it at the end of July until this started happening about a week ago.

    Thanks,

    John
