Chapter 24 Ultrabeat 385
Resolution
This parameter determines the resolution of the pattern. It defines the metric unit of a
measure that is represented by the individual steps.
As an example: The 1/8 setting means that each step of the grid represents an eighth
note. Given a pattern length of 32 steps, the pattern would run for 4 measures (32 ÷ 8).
The Resolution setting applies to the entire grid, and therefore, equally to all sounds.
Note: The interplay between the Length and Resolution values allows the creation of
different kinds of time signatures. Here are a few examples: The values Length = 14
and Resolution = 1/16 result in 7/8 time, Length = 12 and Resolution = 1/16 in 3/4 time,
and Length = 20 and Resolution = 1/16 in 5/4 time.
Accent
Individual steps can be strongly emphasized, or accentuated.
To turn on the Accent function, click the blue LED to the right of the Accent slider. The
Accent slider globally determines the volume of the programmed accents.
In order to program an accent for a particular step, click on the blue LED above the
desired step, and the step in question will be played louder.
Note: The Accent setting can be switched on or off individually per drum sound. This
allows you to, for example, turn accent on for cymbals, but turn it off for the kick drum.
Swing Enable
Activation of the blue Swing button below the Accent button stipulates that the grid of
the currently selected sound will be played in accordance with the Swing knob setting.
Only even-numbered steps are affected by the Swing parameter; exactly which beats
this corresponds to depends on the selected Resolution parameter setting, as
demonstrated by the following example.
At a Resolution of 1/8 and a Length of 8, the notes on steps 1, 3, 5, and 7 represent
quarter notes in the measure. These remain unchanged. Only the eighth notes found
between them (steps 2, 4, and so on) are shifted by the Swing function. The amount of
shift is equal to the swing intensity (see “Swing” on page 384).
Note: Swing is only active for grid resolutions of 1/8 and 1/16.
