Chapter 24 Ultrabeat 359
To load an audio file:
1 Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the waveform display, then choose Load
Sample from the pop-up menu.
2 In the Load Sample window, browse to, and select the desired audio file.
A selection of multi-layer drum and percussion samples that were specially created for
Ultrabeat and its function set are included with Ultrabeat. You can also load your own
samples in AIFF, WAV, CAF, or SDII stereo interleaved format. It should be noted,
however, that the velocity layering function is not available for such samples.
The Play button in the Load Sample window allows you to preview audio files (AIFF,
WAV, SD2, CAF, UBS) before loading.
 Press the Play button to loop playback of the currently selected sample file. The
sample is played directly from the hard disk, with no manipulation: filters, EQ,
envelopes, and other synthesizer parameters are ignored.
 Clicking the button again stops playback.
You can audition multiple files by clicking Play once, and then stepping through the files.
Note: In the case of multi-layer UBS files, the sample is played with a fixed velocity of
75%. Independent auditioning of all layers is not possible. Only the layer addressed by
this velocity value will be played.
