352 Chapter 24 Ultrabeat
The Mixer
The Assignment section contains a mixer for the 25 sounds found in an Ultrabeat drum
kit. It allows you to adjust each sound’s volume and pan position, and also offers a
Mute and Solo button.
Volume
The individual volumes of all sounds are indicated by blue bars, providing a complete
overview of all levels within the kit. You can adjust the volume of the sound, in relation
to Ultrabeat’s total output level, by dragging the blue bar beneath the sound name.
The Master (Volume) control is found above the 25th drum sound and controls the
levels of all drum sounds in the kit: put another way, the overall mix level of all drum
sounds.
Mute
You can mute individual sounds in a drum kit by clicking the Mute button (M) to the
right of the name.
Solo
You can listen to sounds in isolation by clicking the Solo button (S), found beside the
Mute button.
Pan
The rotary knob to the right of the Mute and Solo buttons controls the placement of
the signal in the stereo field (Panorama).
Individual Outputs
Ultrabeat features eight separate stereo and mono outputs, and can be inserted as a
multi output instrument. In this situation, each drum sound can be independently
routed to individual outputs (or output pairs) by using the Out(put Selection) menu,
found beside the Panorama knob. Drum sounds that are routed to an output pair other
than main are automatically removed from the main outputs. Control of output pairs
other than 1–2 is via aux channels.
