• Hold down the FUNC button (3) and PLAY/ACTIVE button (27) and use the white keys to select the number of steps in the pattern by moving a nger from the rst to the last. Note that you can start and nish on any key, so long as the last key is higher than the rst.

• If you want to use the metronome then select it by pressing FUNC followed by Metronome (Key 33)

• There are two ways of starting your sequence: if you want to dene your rst note then press RECORD (26) and play the rst note. The sequencer will start running and the metronome (if selected) will play on the quarter notes. Alternatively press PLAY (27) and RECORD (26) together and the sequence will run immediately.

• Once the sequencer is running you can play the notes as required. They will automatically quantize to the nearest step.

• In PLAY mode you can erase the current sequence by holding FUNC and pressing ERASE (26).

• When you have nished recording press PLAY (27) to stop the sequencer. Holdthe FUNC button and press WRITE (25) followed by a key between 28 and 37 to write to memories 1 – 10. Note that control settings are not saved.

USING FREESTYLE IN THE

SEQUENCER At any point while programming a sequence you can hold the FUNC button and press key 35 to enter Freestyle mode. In this mode the quantization is turned o, and the sequencer will eectively record your input in real time. RepeatingFUNC and 35 reverts to quantized programming, and any notes falling between steps will be lost, unless you switch Freestyle back on.

USING MOTION SEQUENCING IN

THESEQUENCER While recording a sequence holding the FUNC button and pressing Motion Sequence On /O (Key 36) allows you to record the movement of any of the UB-Xa Mini’s controls (except Scale, Mode, Waveform and Resonance) as part of the sequence. Note that base control settings are not stored. Pressing FUNC and Smooth (Key 37) interpolates values to smooth out your adjustments, otherwise they will change suddenly with the sequence steps. To clear your motion sequence press FUNC and CLEAR (Key 38). MENU FUNCTIONS The UB-Xa Mini has menu functions that are accessed by powering up while holding dierent buttons:

MEMORY/WRITE (26) & FUNC

(3) – Restore factory parameters. Press Record (27) to restore, Play (28) to cancel. RECORD (27) & FUNC (3) – Initiate manual VCO calibration. MEMORY/WRITE (26) & RECORD (27) & PLAY (28) & FUNC (3) – initiate rmware update from SynthTribe app.

Toggle between multi-trigger (LED on) orretrigger (LED o). 15 Note Insert Type: Low Priority (LED on) 16 Note Insert Type: High Priority (LED on) 15/16 (F#) Note Insert Type: Nearest (both LEDs o) or Last (bothLEDs on) Selecting Retrigger will cause the envelope to retrigger from zero point with each new key press; Multi-trigger will start a new envelope cycle from the point where the old one has reached when a new key is pressed.22 23Quick Start Guide UB-Xa MINI UB-Xa MINI Getting Started OVERVIEW This getting started guide will help you set up your UB-Xa Mini and briey introduce its capabilities. CONNECTION To connect the UB-Xa Mini to your system, please consult the connection guide earlier in this document. SOFTWARE SETUP The UB-Xa Mini is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required. The UB-Xa Mini does not require any additional drivers to work with Windows and MacOS. HARDWARE SETUP Make all the connections in your system. Keep the UB-Xa Mini power turned o when making anyconnections. Ensure your amplication is turneddown. Turn on the UB-Xa Mini before turning on any power ampliers and turn it o last. This will help prevent damage to your speakers.

We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more for the UB-Xa Mini to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision analog circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance. FIRMWARE UPDATE Please check the behringer.com website regularly for any updates to the Behringer SYNTHTRIBE app. The app looks for the latest rmware and can update the UB-Xa Mini; as well as allowing access to additional functions where they are available.
