Logic Pro Ultrabeat step sequencer interface
The Ultrabeat step sequencer contains a sequence for each sound in a drum kit. Each
sequence can consist of up to 32 steps.
A pattern is a container for all sequences in a drum kit. Up to 24 patterns can be saved and
recalled with each Ultrabeat setting.
The step sequencer is divided into three sections.
Global parameters: Turn the step sequencer on or off, control playback, provide access
to various modes, and control the overall playback feel. See Logic Pro Ultrabeat global
sequencer controls.
Pattern parameters: Provide control over the length and resolution of the currently
selected pattern. You can also accentuate individual steps in the pattern—for each
drum sound. See Use Logic Pro Ultrabeat pattern controls.
Step grid: This is where actual sequencing takes place. A sequence of up to 32 steps,
for the sound that is currently selected in the Assignment section, is shown. You can
add, remove, or alter events in the grid. See Logic Pro Ultrabeat Step grid overview.
Note: An alternate view allows you to simultaneously see and edit the steps of all drum
sounds in the pattern. See Use the Logic Pro Ultrabeat Step grid full view.
