24 Ultrabeat
Ultrabeat is a rhythm synthesizer that incorporates a step
sequencer.
Ultrabeat’s synthesis engine is optimized for creating electronic and acoustic drum and
percussion sounds. It includes an impressive diversity of synthesis engines: phase
oscillators, sample playback, FM (frequency modulation), and physical modeling. You
can even use an audio side chain input as a sound source!
Ultrabeat features an integrated step sequencer, which you can use to create rhythmic
grooves comprised of patterns. The sequencer displays running light style controls like
those of classic drum machines. Ultrabeat’s sequencer also offers step automation
functions, allowing you to vary the timbre of the sound dependent on your
performance dynamics or programmed rhythms. The sequencer plays an important
role in the dynamic shaping of rhythms and sounds produced with Ultrabeat.
In addition to loading audio samples and its own settings, Ultrabeat can import EXS
instruments. This allows you further sound design and rhythm processing options for
EXS instruments, as well as letting you use Ultrabeat’s intuitive drum mixer layout to
play EXS drum kits.
Finally, Ultrabeat features truly comprehensive modulation functions—nearly every
aspect of Ultrabeat can be modulated.
