Setting the Modulation Routing
Clicking on the Mod label opens the Mod menu. This is where you can choose one of
the LFOs or envelope generators (Env) as a modulation source.
The Off setting deactivates the Mod routing, and the Mod ring can no longer be
adjusted. In this situation, no Via modulation can occur either (this is because Via no
longer has a modulation target) and the Via slider disappears.
Note: The Max setting produces a static modulation at maximum level. When the Mod
value is set to Max, the Via parameter is routed directly to the modulation target. This
way, velocity can be used as a direct modulation source, even though Vel is not
available as a source in the Mod menu.
Another example would be to set up an external MIDI fader unit with Ctrl A, B, C, or D
(see below). You could then use the Max item in the Mod menu to route the respective
Via source—Ctrl A, B, C, or D—to the parameter youd like to control with one of the
faders on your MIDI fader box.
Clicking on the Via label opens the Via menu. This is where you choose the Vel or Ctrl A
to Ctrl D parameters.
Vel represents velocity.
Ctrl A to Ctrl D are four continuous controllers that can be assigned to four external
MIDI controllers. These assignments are made in the MIDI Controller Assignments area
at the upper right edge of the Ultrabeat window (see below). The assignments apply to
all sounds in the current Ultrabeat plug-in instance.
