384 Chapter 24 Ultrabeat
 Step mode: In Step mode, you can automate a sound’s parameter from one step to
the next. Values are offset, instead of set—all of your original drum sound settings
remain unaltered by any parameter changes performed in Step mode. Step
automation changes only operate on parameters when the sequencer is running.
These parameter changes occur individually per step. This means that if the
sequencer is turned off, you’ll hear the original sound. For more information see
“Step Mode” on page 390.
Transport Button
The Transport button starts and stops the sequencer pattern. This allows you to inspect
the step sequencer pattern while Logic Express is stopped, for example. The step
sequencer is always synchronized to the tempo of Logic Express.
Note: If the Transport button is displayed in blue, the sequencer interprets incoming
MIDI notes between C–1 and B0 as performance information. For more information see
the “Using MIDI to Control the Sequencer” section, from page 394 onwards
Swing
This rotary knob globally determines the swing intensity for all sounds that have the
Swing function activated (see “Swing Enable” on page 385).
Swing changes the distance between notes: notes on odd-numbered steps remain
unchanged, while even-numbered notes are slightly shifted. At a 0 setting (the knob all
the way to the left), the Swing function is not active. Turning the Swing knob up shifts
the affected notes towards the following note.
Note: Swing is only active at grid resolutions of 1/8 and 1/16.
Pattern Parameters
A pattern has a maximum number of 32 steps and contains the total events of all 25
sounds. At the bottom edge of the Ultrabeat window you can select from one of 24
patterns, and set parameters for each pattern that apply to all sounds.
Pattern Menu
Allows you to choose one of the 24 patterns.
Length
This parameter defines the length of the pattern. The length of the grid can be
adjusted by dragging the value in the Length parameter field or the bar beneath the
swing buttons.
