Distortion parameters
Crush and Distort buttons: Activate the mode you want to use. The name of the active
effect type is indicated in red. If neither button is active, the Distortion circuit is
bypassed.
Drive knob: Control the amount of distortion.
Color knob: Determine the basic tone of the distortion. Higher values result in a brighter
sound. Lower values lead to a darker, warmer tone.
Level knob: Set the output level of the Distortion effect in Distortion mode. In Bit
Crusher mode, set a threshold level for incoming signals. Sound sources must reach
this threshold before distortion (bit crushing) begins.
Ultrabeat Output section
Logic Pro Ultrabeat Output section overview
Depending on the status of each Signal Flow button, the output signals of both oscillators,
the ring modulator, and the noise generator are routed to the Output section of Ultrabeat.
This routing is either direct or through the Filter and Distortion section.
The Output section passes signals through both equalizers (EQ), then on to the Pan
Modulation/Stereo Spread section (in a preconfigured order) before the final level is set for
the selected sound and the trigger behavior is adjusted.
Two-band EQ: Provides precise tonal control of each drum sound.
Pan Modulation and Stereo Spread parameters: Pan Modulation varies the panorama
position of a drum sound. Stereo Spread broadens the stereo image.
Voice volume: Sets the default level of each drum sound.
Trigger Mode controls: Determine the way that Ultrabeat reacts to incoming MIDI notes.
This is independently defined for each sound.
