Behringer’s compact and affordable UB-1 MICRO could be the perfect stocking filler

Looking for a stocking filler this festive season? Well, Behringer’s UB-1 MICRO might be the perfect bitesized bit of kit for you.

Don’t be fooled by its name or size – the UB-1 MICRO’s compact format holds huge potential. With dual analogue DCO oscillators supported by a sub oscillator or noise generator, the UB-1 MICRO is able to capture a rich level of depth and texture.

The UB-1 Micro has also got a 24 dB/oct analogue low-pass 4-pole filter, too. That means you’re set if you’re wanting to add extra warmth, shape and character to your sound.

The synth is also primed to help create movement and add dynamics to your sounds, with its 2 LFOs and dedicated envelopes. There’s also a nifty 3-pattern arpeggiator built-in, perfect for getting in the groove and nail down some new rhythmic patterns. The arpeggiator runs on the synth’s internal clock, or you can sync it up with your wider gear via USB or MIDI, making it ultra easy to integrate into your setup.

There’s also 32 memory presets, which can be loaded with your own presets via the SynthTribe app, or through your MIDI keyboard over USB.

Alongside its USB and MIDI In ports, the UB-1 MICRO also has a headphone output. It’s also USB-C powered, which is great news for those keen to use this on the go. Just pop it in your gig bag, and you’ll be able to use it anywhere if you’ve got a phone, a powerbank or a laptop handy.

The UB-1 MICRO is available now for $55.90. Head to Behringer for more information.
