Ultrabeat
Logic Pro Ultrabeat overview
Ultrabeat is a synthesizer that is designed to create percussive sounds and polyphonic
rhythms. It also incorporates a powerful step sequencer which you can use to create
polyphonic rhythmic sequences and patterns. See Logic Pro Ultrabeat step sequencer
overview.
Most software synthesizers offer one synthesizer per plug-in instance. Ultrabeat, however,
places 25 independent synthesizers at your disposal. These synthesizers—known as drum
voices in Ultrabeat—are optimized for the generation of drum and percussion sounds.
You can compare Ultrabeat with a drum machine that features 24 drum pads, plus a built-in
multioctave keyboard that can be used for polyphonic accompaniments, or bass or melody
lines. See Play and select Logic Pro Ultrabeat sounds.
