360 Chapter 24 Ultrabeat
The Preview Sample in Ultrabeat Voice option temporarily replaces the sample files in
the currently selected drum sound. The drum sound is not directly triggered by
activating this option, but it can as usually be triggered via MIDI notes (played notes,
MIDI region events, or Ultrabeat sequencer events) while the Load Sample window is
open and different files are being selected. The selected sample can be heard as part of
the current drum sound, inclusive of all synthesizer processing. Once you find a sample
you’d like to use, click Open to load it. Click Cancel to return to the previously loaded
sample.
Important: Any effects inserted into the Ultrabeat instrument channel affect previews.
When saving a drum kit using the Settings menu, the location of the sample is saved
with the setting. The Ultrabeat setting doesn’t actually save the audio files
themselves—only a reference to their location. If you load a setting that contains a
reference to a sample that has been moved or erased, Ultrabeat will present you with a
dialog box that requests you to find it. To avoid this problem, it is highly recommended
that you use a dedicated Ultrabeat sample folder.
Model
This oscillator type offers a physical model of a string instrument for the creation of
percussive sounds. The parameters at your disposal are based on the physical
properties of a real string.
Two contrasting exciters, each with different sound characteristics, are available. You
can switch between them with the corresponding buttons (Type 1 and Type 2).
Note: In Ultrabeat’s Oscillator 2 model, an exciter is the agent or triggering device used
to initiate the vibration of the string. It should not be confused with the effect plug-in
of the same name.
In the Material Pad, you can set the Inner Loss and Stiffness string parameters. These
parameters actually determines the material qualities of the physical model.
Inner Loss determines the damping of the string which, in the real world, depends on
the material the string is made of (for example steel, glass, nylon, or wood). Damping
primarily affects high frequencies, and forces the sound to become more muffled and
smooth during the decay phase.
