To drag sounds into your drum kit
µ
Drag the sound name from the import list into the desired row in the Mixer section.
Note: Hold down the Command key to include all sequences.
To transfer sounds using shortcut menu commands
1 Control-click (or right-click) the sound name in the import list.
2 Choose Copy (Voice & Seq) in the shortcut menu.
This copies the selected sound and its sequences to the Clipboard.
3 Control-click (or right-click) the sound you want to replace in the current drum kit, then
choose one of the following shortcut menu commands:
Paste Voice: Replaces the selected sound with the sound from the Clipboard but does
not replace existing sequences.
Paste Sequence > (submenu): Opens a submenu that 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.
Swap with Clipboard: Exchanges and replaces the selected sound (and associated
sequence) with the sound from the Clipboard.
Importing Entire EXS Instruments into Ultrabeat
You can import an entire EXS instrument into Ultrabeat by dragging an EXS instrument
file from the Finder directly onto the Assignment section.
Ultrabeat reproduces the EXS layout as closely as possible. Layered EXS zones are set up
as layered drum sounds, using the sample playback mode of Oscillator 2 (see Using
Ultrabeat’s Sample Mode).
Note: This method does not allow paging through the EXS instrument if it contains more
than 25 sounds (samples). Ultrabeat will map only sample zones and layers that fall within
Ultrabeat’s drum sound range of C1 to C3. All other samples (zones) are ignored.
Getting to Know the Ultrabeat Synthesizer Section
The Synthesizer section is the heart and soul of Ultrabeat. Each drum sound in a kit is an
independent synthesizer and has its own set of synthesizer parameters—its own
Synthesizer section.
