Ultrabeat Step grid
Logic Pro Ultrabeat Step grid overview
The Step grid displays sequence steps on two rows. The steps shown in these rows
correspond to the sound that is currently selected in the Assignment area. Choosing a
different sound switches the sequencer display to show the rows that correspond to the
newly selected sound.
The Step grid area contains two rows, each with 32 fields (steps).
• Trigger row: Click a button to activate or deactivate the sound on the corresponding
beat.
• Velocity/Gate row: Sets the length (gate time) and velocity of steps entered in the
Trigger row. Both parameters are displayed as a single graphical bar.
• The bar height represents the velocity.
• The bar length indicates the note length.
Create or remove steps in Logic Pro Ultrabeat
The Trigger row consists of buttons 1 through 32, which represent steps or beats in the
selected sequence. Note trigger events are placed on corresponding steps. This is where
you designate when (on which beat) the selected sound plays.
Note: You can create and remove steps while the step sequencer is running.
Create steps
1. In Logic Pro, select the drum sound that you want to create steps for in the Assignment
section.
2. Click the On button to start the step sequencer.
3. Choose a pattern and set the length and resolution that you want to use. See Use Logic
Pro Ultrabeat pattern controls.
4. Click the buttons you want—1 through 32—to activate or deactivate the selected sound
on the corresponding beat. In the example shown above, these are steps 1 and 6.
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.
