2 Choose one of the following commands from the shortcut menu:
Copy (Voice & Seq): Copies the selected sound, including mixer settings and all
sequences, to the Clipboard.
Paste Voice: Replaces the selected sound with the sound from the Clipboard but does
not replace existing sequences.
Paste Sequence > (submenu): Enables you to replace all, or individual sequences, of the
target drum sound. Sound parameters are not affected.
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.
Pasting all sequences replaces all sequences.
In situations where a sound only has several sequences (not all 24 are used), choosing
“Paste Sequence > all” will place these sequences into the same positions; sequence
5 (in the Pattern menu) will be pasted to the same position in the new sound, for
example. If a sequence already exists at this location in the target sound, it will be
replaced. If no sequence exists at this location, the copied sequence will be added
to the drum sound.
Swap with Clipboard: Exchanges and replaces the selected sound with the sound from
the Clipboard.
Init > (submenu): Opens a submenu that contains a few starting-point (Init) sounds.
Select one of these to replace the target drum sound.
The Sample Init sound initializes the filter and pitch parameters to neutral settings,
which are ideal as a starting point for programming sample-based drum sounds.
These commands affect only the selected drum sound. The sequence and sound data of
the other 24 sounds are unaffected.
Note: The shortcut menu commands Paste and “Swap with Clipboard” require an initial
Copy command—to place data in the Clipboard—before they can be used.
Importing Sounds and EXS Instruments into Ultrabeat
You can use Ultrabeat’s import list to add drum sounds and sequences from other
Ultrabeat settings or EXS instruments to your currently active Ultrabeat drum kit (see
Adding Sounds and Sequences to Your Ultrabeat Drum Kit). You can also import an entire
EXS instrument by dragging an EXS instrument file from the Finder directly onto the
Assignment section (see Importing Entire EXS Instruments into Ultrabeat).
