Sam Ash announces the ongoing availability of the Behringer UB Xa. This analog polyphonic synthesizer is inspired by the Oberheim OB-Xa, featuring 16 voices, velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, and original factory patches.
-- The Behringer UB Xa is now available at Sam Ash, whose team announces the 61-key analog polyphonic synthesizer as an accessible alternative to vintage Oberheim models. The instrument pays tribute to the iconic Oberheim OB-Xa while incorporating features that bridge 1980s design philosophy with contemporary production demands.

The original Oberheim OB-Xa defined the sonic landscape of the 1980s new wave and synth-pop, establishing a legacy that continues to influence music production decades later. Yet, authentic vintage units remain expensive and difficult to acquire - driving demand among musicians and producers for faithful reproductions that capture the instrument's distinctive tonal characteristics.
As such, Sam Ash provides synthesizer enthusiasts and producers with a significant entry point into professional polyphonic synthesis. The Behringer UB Xa's voltage-controlled oscillators and voltage-controlled filters are based on the original 3340 and 3320 semiconductor designs - noted as central to the OB-Xa's characteristic growl and sizzle.
Moreover, the 16-voice polyphonic architecture, paired with 61 semi-weighted keys, provides substantial creative range for layered textures and complex harmonic structures. Sam Ash also explains that original Oberheim factory patches grant users immediate access to the sounds that shaped a generation of electronic music.
Eight vintage modes enable emulation of the OB-Xa, OB-8, and other iconic synthesizers, adds the team. Multitimbral operation allows for sound splitting and layering across the instrument's 16 voices, while a dual-layer arpeggiator, two dedicated low-frequency oscillators, and oscillator sync mode expand on the original’s sound design capabilities.
In the words of a Sam Ash representative: “The UB-Xa has all the bells, whistles, and characteristics of the original, but it’s also filled to the brim with modern features such as velocity and after-touch, 512 user program memories, and comprehensive MIDI implementation.”
Currently listed at $1,299.00, Sam Ash’s stock addition reduces the financial barrier that has historically separated musicians from vintage-inspired polyphonic synthesis. In addition, the company offers flexible payment options through Affirm and Synchrony, broadening access to the technology for producers and enthusiasts across different budget levels.
