Getting to Know the Ultrabeat Interface
Ultrabeat’s user interface is divided into three main sections.
Synthesizer sectionAssignment section
Step sequencer
Assignment section: Displays all drum sounds in a drum kit, allowing you to select,
rename, and organize them. It also includes a small mixer, used to adjust the level and
pan position of each sound. See Getting to Know Ultrabeat’s Assignment Section.
Synthesizer section: Used to create and shape individual drum sounds. The parameters
of the drum sound selected in the Assignment section are displayed in the Synthesizer
section. See Getting to Know the Ultrabeat Synthesizer Section.
Step sequencer: Used to create and control sequences and patterns. A sequence triggers
a single drum sound, and can consist of up to 32 steps. A pattern contains the sequences
for all 25 sounds. You can trigger and control sounds with the step sequencer—in place
of, or in addition to—MIDI notes entering Ultrabeat (from your host application). See
Working with the Ultrabeat Step Sequencer.
