Chapter 24 Ultrabeat 407
Creating Hi-Hats and Cymbals
Electronic hi-hat sounds are very easy to create in Ultrabeat.
To create a hi-hat in Ultrabeat:
1 Load the Standard Tutorial sound.
2 Switch off Oscillator 1 and turn on the noise generator.
3 Choose the following settings for the noise generator:
In the screenshot above, you can see, that the Cutoff parameter is modulated by Env 1.
The modulation is negative, the position of the Mod slider is below that of the base
parameter value.
4 Use rather short decay values for Env 1 and Env 4.
5 Set the attack time of Env 4 to a value of 0. The attack time of Env 1 should also be
rather short, but not equal to zero.
Note: You’ll find a similarly constructed sound called HiHat 1 at a pitch of F2 in the
tutorial set. Also analyze the hi-hat sound Hihat 2 at a pitch F#2.
It’s not far from the hi-hat to the crash cymbal: the main difference between a hi-hat
and crash cymbal sound is the length of the decay time. Correct assignment of the
envelopes is the key to producing different cymbal sounds.
Select the Cym 1 and Cym 2 sounds in the Tutorial Kit and try different envelope
assignments and settings for Cutoff and Volume in the noise generator, Cutoff and
Volume in the main filter, and so on.
