Ultrabeat Assignment section
Logic Pro Ultrabeat Assignment section
The Assignment section displays all sounds in a drum kit. You can:
• Select, organize, and name sounds
• Import sounds from other Ultrabeat settings or sampler instruments
• Set relative levels and pan positions for each sound
• Mute or solo sounds in the drum kit
Assignment section parameters
• Master Volume slider: Control the levels of all drum sounds in the drum kit—the overall
mix level of all drum sounds.
• Volume slider: Drag the blue slider to set the volume for the sound. All drum sound levels
are indicated by blue sliders, providing an overview of relative levels within the kit.
• Keyboard: Acts as a display when MIDI information is received. Click the keys to play the
sound on the corresponding row.
• Mute buttons: Silence one or multiple sounds in the drum kit.
• Solo buttons: Hear one or multiple drum sounds in isolation. All other drum sounds
(unsoloed) are muted.
• Pan knobs: Position drum sounds in the stereo field (panorama).
• Output pop-up menus: Use to independently route each drum sound to individual
output subgroups or output (subgroup) pairs. Ultrabeat features eight separate stereo
and eight separate mono outputs when inserted as a multi-output instrument. There are
also 25 subgroups available–one for each sound in the kit, if required.
• Drum sounds routed to a subgroup output or output pair other than Main (1–2) are
automatically removed from the main output channel strips.
• Choosing a subgroup output or output pair other than Main (1–2) routes the sound to
an aux channel strip.
• Each sound can be assigned to an individual subgroup or you can assign multiple
sounds to the same subgroup. Each subgroup is routed to a corresponding aux
channel strip. This enables you to individually process sounds, or to process grouped
sounds (all toms, for example), through effects inserted in an aux channel strip.
