Waveform Basic tone Comments
Triangle Sweet sounding, softer than
sawtooth
Useful for flutes, pads
Sine A pure tone The sine wave of oscillator1
can be frequency-modulated by
oscillator2. This kind of frequency
modulation forms the basis of
FMsynthesis.
Use Logic Pro Ultrabeat oscillator 2 sample mode
In sample mode, oscillator2 uses an audio file as a sound source.
Sample mode parameters
• Sample Name display: Use to load and unload samples or to display the loaded sample
in the Finder. Click the arrow in the upper-left corner of the waveform display to open.
• Max/Min sliders: Move to set the start point of the sample—depending on the dynamics
(incoming velocity level) of the performance.
• Min: Determines the start point of the sample at the minimum velocity level
(velocity=1).
• Max: Determines the start point of the sample at the maximum velocity level
(velocity=127).
Note: If Min and Max are set to the same value, velocity has no effect on the sample
start point.
• Playback Direction button: Change the playback direction of the sample (forward or
backward).
• Sample Layer sliders: Ultrabeat samples and sounds imported from sampler
instruments often have different layers that are dynamically switched by incoming MIDI
note velocities. The precise sample layer that incoming velocity values switch to is
determined by the green Layer slider (Min) or the blue Layer slider (Max).
• The Min slider determines which sample layer is triggered at a MIDI note velocity=1.
• The Max slider determines which sample layer is triggered at a MIDI note
velocity=127.
Note: If you have loaded a single sample that does not have multiple layers, the Vel
Layer slider has no effect.
