4 UB-Xa User Manual Welcome to your UB-Xa - Getting Started Thank you for purchasing the Behringer UB-Xa - the legendary 1980s polysynth brought up to date with a host of new features. Unpacking Carefully unpack your UB-Xa. Then, inspect it carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit and notify the courier immediately if you discover any.

Inside this box, you should find the following items: • UB-Xa • IEC power cable • Quick Start Guide Please retain the original packing in case you should need to return the equipment to the manufacturer or supplier or transport the unit later. WARM UP TIME We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the UB-Xa to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance. Connect the UB-Xa to your mixing desk or amplifier before powering up. Power up the UB-Xa first, with the volume at minimum. Power up your mixer or amplifier after powering up the UB-Xa. Always increase volume levels slowly. If it is necessary to tune the UB-Xa to another instrument use the Master Tune control once the UB-Xa has warmed up and internally tuned. The Master Tune control has a dead zone at 12 o'clock which is set at A 440Hz standard tuning. SOFTWARE SETUP The UB-Xa is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required. The UB-Xa does not require any additional drivers to work with Windows and MacOS.
