This is done in the Assignment section using two basic methods: drag and drop, or the Control-click right-click contextual menu. Import mode. It’s also possible to import individual sounds from other Ultrabeat presets again, with or without their sequences , either by dragging and dropping or via the Control-click right-click contextual menu.

Click the Import button to summon the file dialogue, then choose which preset to open see screen, right. You can then audition the voices in version 8. If the imported voice includes sequence data, holding Command while dragging and dropping will import the sequence data as well.

The range of sounds available to Ultrabeat is further enhanced by the ability to import EXS sampler instruments. If the. You can also import a complete EXS instrument by dragging and dropping, though this method will only import the first 25 sounds.

It should be noted that the Ultrabeat sample file format. One way around this limitation is making a velocity-switched EXS instrument and then importing that. The interaction between the length and resolution of the steps in the sequencer needs some consideration. Changing the resolution to eighth notes gives a four-bar pattern.

The length and resolution parameters are set for each pattern within a preset, so you can mix and match if you need to. Each voice in an Ultrabeat preset kit has its own step sequencer, and all 25 sequences are combined to make a drum pattern. When this switch is on, Ultrabeat will play whenever Logic itself is in playback, and will be synchronised to the main Logic tempo. There’s also a Play button in this area, which starts the sequencer without starting the main Logic playback.

You can thus audition Ultrabeat when Logic isn’t playing back. Ultrabeat does always run at the tempo of the Logic project, as just mentioned, but there are issues when time-signature changes are involved, because Ultrabeat doesn’t take them into account!

The trigger row contextual menu. Simply click on the numbers in the trigger row to switch a given step on or off ; clicking and dragging across the trigger row buttons will also turn them on or off. Here you can also adjust the velocity of individual hits, and if the Gate parameter in the Synthesizer section is enabled the length of each hit.

A glance at the Assignment Section for each sound reveals a small ‘sq’ light, which indicates that there are events in the sequencer for that particular voice. Lennar Digital. Sylenth1 is a virtual analog VSTi synthesizer that takes the definitions of quality and performance to a higher level.

Once again, an ‘sq’ indicates that the pattern does contain sequences. Patterns can be copied, pasted and cleared using the contextual menu, which is opened up with a Control-click or right-click.

Accent buttons are found above the step numbers. It’s important to remember to turn off Ultrabeat’s ‘on’ button after you do this, because otherwise the Step Sequencer will continue to operate when you play the Logic project, and you’ll have the same thing playing back simultaneously from Ultrabeat and from the Arrange page.

You’ll notice that if voices are muted in Ultrabeat, the note data is transferred to the MIDI region as muted notes, which appear greyed out in the Piano Roll and Score editors, or with a black spot in the Event List.

Conversely, if you’ve soloed a voice in Ultrabeat, all the other notes will be muted when you drag the pattern data into the Arrange window.

Accent information is transferred to the region as polyphonic aftertouch data. As well as being available as a basic stereo plug-in, Ultrabeat has a multi-output version, with eight stereo and eight mono output channels 24 outputs in total. Routing individual voices to separate outputs allows you to add effect insert plug-ins to particular sounds — such as reverb on the snare or compression on the kick.

These will automatically be assigned sequentially to the Ultrabeat output channels. Finally, in the Assignment Section of Ultrabeat, choose which voices are routed to which outputs.

I was looking for help over the manipulation of the stepped’automation after dragging onto the arrange page. Without the need for Track Automation I just get confused with which CC is responsible for which parameter.

I suppose I could tweak and see directly the effects. Thanks so much for this as it is just what I was wishing for! Sylenth1 is a virtual analog VSTi synthesizer that takes the definitions of quality and performance to a higher level.

In the meantime, as you work with and explore Ultrabeat, please remember that all its data voices, sequences and patterns is saved within the plug-in preset. Don’t forget to save your work! A MIDI region in the Piano Roll editor, showing control notes for Ultrabeat’s pattern mode, plus some extra notes I added to trigger individual sounds for a drum fill. Ultrabeat’s Pattern Mode can be used to start and stop patterns, and change which pattern is playing, using the low keyboard notes assigned to each pattern, as mentioned in the main body of this article.

You may need to transpose your controller keyboard to get to these low notes. Once Pattern Mode is enabled, there are four types of operation available to you, set from a menu. These modes are great for live work and for jamming, but you can also record or program the trigger notes into a region in the Arrange page to create your rhythm parts.

You can also adjust the parameter’s value for the selected step by dragging up or down on the step itself. So go ahead and change the parameter values for different steps. Once you’re done automating you may want to take the pattern into Logic’s Arrange area. Drag the pattern button bottom left corner of the Ultrabeat window and place it on the Ultrabeat track lane in Logic’s Arrange area. In this example I’ve opened the Ultrabeat region in the Piano Roll and from the left arrow chosen “Autodefine” to see the automation we created in Ultrabeat.

For an easier way to view what Control Change CC data has been written to the region you can view the region’s contents in the Event List window. You can, of course, edit the CC data right here, too! There are other ways to automate Ultrabeat’s sound parameters using a MIDI Controller in real time or offline or using track automation, but there’s something satisfyingly easy about being able to experiment and program parameters directly within Ultrabeat’s sequencer.

Pasting a single sequence replaces the currently active sequence as set in the Pattern menu of the target drum sound. This allows you to copy sequences into any of the 24 possible pattern locations. Swap with Clipboard: Exchanges and replaces the selected sound and associated sequence with the sound from the Clipboard. In Logic Pro, drag a sampler instrument filename from the Finder directly onto the Assignment section. See Ultrabeat pattern controls.
