Essential Facts About the Behringer UB-1 Micro Analog Synthesizer
- Oberheim-inspired analog sound: 2 DCOs, 4-pole low-pass filter and 3396/3397 chip for rich, punchy 80s tones
- Ultra-portable and self-powered: 16-key touch keyboard, OLED display, USB-C power (smartphone, power bank or computer)
- Instant creativity: 3-pattern arpeggiator with Hold, 2 LFOs, separate VCF/VCA envelopes
- Memory and full control: 32 editable presets via SynthTribe, USB/MIDI with CC control for all parameters
A Mini Synth in the Tradition of Classics
The
UB-1 Micro inherits the sonic DNA of Oberheim Matrix thanks to the renowned
3396/3397 architecture. Echoing the aesthetics of the UB-Xa series, it packs a complete analog voice into a pocket-sized format, perfect for capturing vintage character without sacrificing mobility.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for mobile musicians, content creators and
DAWless setups, the UB-1 Micro fits seamlessly into both live rigs and home studios. Its 16-key touch keyboard and arpeggiator let you sketch ideas instantly, while the 3.5 mm
MIDI input and USB-MIDI open the door to master keyboards and sequencers.
Key Features for Sound Shaping
The two
DCOs deliver classic waveforms (saw, triangle, square with PWM), supported by a
sub-oscillator and
noise generator. A digital
wavetable option further expands the palette. The 4-pole low-pass filter ensures creamy sweeps, driven by independent
VCF/
VCA envelopes. Two dedicated
LFOs (oscillator tuning, filter cutoff) add movement and modulation, while 6 function buttons and the
OLED display make editing quick and clear.
