Step Mode
Setting the Edit Mode switch to Step mode engages Ultrabeat’s step automation
feature. Step automation lets you program parameter changes per step for each drum
sound. You can automate as many of the parameters available for automation per step
as you want.
The sound parameters that can be edited per step include all functions of the
Synthesizer section, except the menus (modulation routings and so on), buttons
(oscillator type buttons, the buttons in the trigger/group section), and Pan/Spread
parameters.
All parameters you automate will show up in the pop-up menu at the top of the
Parameter offset row (see “The Parameter Offset Row” below).
When you engage Step mode, Ultrabeat’s interface changes in the following ways:
 Yellow frames appear around all parameters in the Synthesizer section that are
available for automation. Parameters not available for automation are still visible, but
are disabled.
 The Velocity/Gate row in the step grid changes to show the Parameter offset row.
