Chapter 14 Ultrabeat 376
Set Ultrabeat step sequencer accents
The Accent setting can be switched on or o individually for each drum sound. This enables you
to turn accents on for cymbals but turn accents o for the kick drum, for example.
Turn on accents and set the accent level
1 Click the blue LED to the right of the Accent slider to turn on the accent function.
2 Drag the Accent slider to globally set the volume of programmed accents.
Program an accent for a particular step
m Click the blue LED above the step (steps 1 and 3 in the gure).
The sound at this step position is accentuated (played louder).
Ultrabeat Step grid full view
Click the Full View button in the lower-right corner to see a large sequencer grid lled with
trigger buttons. The large grid simultaneously displays the 32 trigger buttons for all 25
drum sounds.
Full view provides an overview of the whole pattern, rather than a single drum sound sequence.
Because the trigger events for all sounds are shown, you can quickly identify accidental notes.
Full view also accelerates the pattern creation process.
The selected sound is highlighted with a gray box in the step sequencer area, making it easy
to set the velocity and gate time for each step or osets in Step mode (see Ultrabeat step
automation overview on page 377), within the context of all sequences/sounds in the pattern.
Both the grid and the Trigger and Gate/Length rows are displayed for the selected drum sound.
This makes it simple to create trigger events in the full view grid, then set accents in the Gate/
Length rows, for example.
