Remove a step
1. In Logic Pro, select the drum sound that you want to remove steps from in the
Assignment section.
2. Click the buttons—1 through 32—that correspond to the step or steps that you want to
remove.
Note: Drag horizontally across the buttons to quickly turn trigger events on or off.
Use the Logic Pro Ultrabeat trigger shortcut menu
Control-click (or right-click) any of the trigger buttons to open the Trigger shortcut menu,
which contains the following commands:
Copy, Paste, and Clear commands
In Logic Pro:
• Copy: Copies all activated triggers (steps) to the Clipboard.
• Paste: Pastes all triggers from the Clipboard.
• Clear: Turns off all activated triggers.
Create Beat commands
• Add Every Downbeat: Adds triggers on every downbeat in the sequence. The
determination of steps as downbeats depends on the grid resolution. For example, if
the resolution is set to 1/16, Add Every Downbeat would create triggers on every fourth
step. Starting with the initial downbeat at step 1, this would create trigger events on
step 5, step 9, step 13, and so on. This command doesn’t erase existing trigger events;
it only adds trigger events.
• Add Every Upbeat: Adds triggers on every upbeat in the sequence. The determination of
steps as upbeats depends on the grid resolution. For example, if the resolution is set to
1/16, Add Every Upbeat would create triggers on every 4th step. Starting with the initial
upbeat at step 3, this would create trigger events on step 7, step 11, step 15, and so on.
This command doesn’t erase existing trigger events; it only adds trigger events.
Alter, Reverse, and Shift commands
• Alter Existing Randomly: Randomly reorders steps while retaining the number of active
triggers.
• Reverse Existing: Reverses the order of existing steps.
• Shift Left 1 Step: Shifts all steps in the sequence one step to the left.
• Shift Left 1/2 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one-half beat to the left. The number
of steps that equals one-half of a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For
example, at a resolution of 1/16, a beat equals four steps, so half of one beat is two
steps; at a resolution of 1/8, a beat equals two steps, so half of one beat equals one
step, and so on.
• Shift Left 1 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one beat to the left. The number of
steps that equals a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For example, at a
resolution of 1/16, a beat equals four steps; at a resolution of 1/8, a beat equals two
steps, and so on.
• Shift Right 1 Step: Shifts all steps in the sequence one step to the right.
