Use the offset row in Logic Pro Ultrabeat
The offset row lets you view and enter offset values on a per-step basis for all Synthesizer
section parameters that can be automated. Adjustments made in the offset row are
relative to the current parameter value. Values shown in the offset row are either added
to or subtracted from the parameter value set in the Synthesizer section. In other words,
parameter offsets increase or decrease, but do not specify, an absolute value for the
parameter.
Parameter edits can be made in three ways:
• By editing offset values in the offset row.
• With the shortcut menu.
• By directly adjusting the controls in the Synthesizer section. All parameters that you
automate (create an offset for) are shown in the Parameter Offset pop-up menu.
Important: Moving a control element in the Synthesizer section adds the parameter to
the Parameter Offset pop-up menu and creates an offset, so take care.
Create a parameter offset
1. In Logic Pro, select the drum sound that you want to offset.
2. Click a position in the (parameter) offset row that corresponds to the step you want to
edit.
3. Make the parameter change in the Synthesizer section. Your change is recorded as an
offset value for this step.
4. Repeat step 3 for each parameter that you want to edit for this step.
A parameter offset that has been created for a given parameter on a given step is
represented in two ways.
• A yellow bar is drawn on the parameter that indicates the deviance (the offset)
between the original parameter value and the new parameter value.
• In the (parameter) offset row, the offset from the original parameter is represented
as a bar starting from the zero point (horizontal center line).
