Chapter 14 Ultrabeat 371
Resolution pop-up menu: Click to choose the resolution of the pattern. Resolution denes 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 dierent
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 Ultrabeat step sequencer accents on page 376.
Swing Enable button: When turned on, the grid of the currently selected sound is played in
accordance with the Swing knob setting. See Use Ultrabeat’s swing function on page 372.
