Step mode: In Step mode, you can automate a the parameters of a sound from one
step to the next. See Logic Pro Ultrabeat step automation overview.
Transport button: Start and stop the sequencer pattern. The step sequencer is always
synchronized with the host application tempo.
Note: If the Transport button is blue, the step sequencer interprets incoming MIDI notes
between C-1 and B0 as performance information. See Logic Pro Ultrabeat sequencer
MIDI control.
Swing knob: Rotate to set the swing intensity for all sounds that have the Swing
function turned on. See Use the Logic Pro Ultrabeat swing function.

A pattern contains all events, stored in sequences, for all 25 sounds. You can select one of
24 patterns and can set parameters that globally affect all sounds in the kit.
Pattern parameters
Pattern pop-up menu: Click to choose one of the 24 patterns.
Length field and bar: Adjust the length of the grid (and therefore the pattern) by
dragging in the field or the bar beneath the swing buttons.
Resolution pop-up menu: Choose the resolution of the pattern. Resolution defines the
metric unit of a measure that is represented by the individual steps. For example, the
1/8 setting means that each step of the grid represents an eighth note. Given a pattern
length of 32 steps, the pattern would run for 4 measures (the 32 setting applies to the
entire grid and, therefore, all sounds).
Note: The interplay between Length and Resolution values enables you to create
different time signatures. For example, a Lengthvalue of 14 and a Resolutionof1/16
results in 7/8 time; a Lengthof12 and a Resolutionof1/16 results in 3/4 time; and a
Lengthof20 and a Resolutionof1/16 results in 5/4 time.
Accent button and slider: Allows individual steps to be strongly emphasized, or
accentuated. See Set step accents in Logic Pro Ultrabeat.
Swing Enable button: Turn on to play the grid of the currently selected sound in
accordance with the Swing knob setting. See Use the Logic Pro Ultrabeat swing
function.
You can reorganize the 24 patterns in the Pattern pop-up menu, using Copy and Paste
commands.
