Chapter 14 Ultrabeat 378
Use Ultrabeat’s oset row
This row enables you to view and enter oset values on a per-step basis for all Synthesizer
section parameters that can be automated. Adjustments made in the oset row are relative to
the current parameter value. Values shown in the oset row will be either added to or subtracted
from the parameter value set in the Synthesizer section. In other words, parameter osets
increase or decrease, but do not specify, an absolute value for the parameter.
Parameter edits can be made in three ways:
•
By editing oset values in the oset row.
•
With the shortcut menu.
•
By directly adjusting the controls in the Synthesizer section. All parameters that you automate
(create an oset for) are shown in the Parameter Oset pop-up menu.
Important: Moving a control element in the Synthesizer section will add the parameter to the
Parameter Oset pop-up menu, and will create an oset, so take care.
Create a parameter oset
1 Select the drum sound that you want to oset.
2 Click a position in the (parameter) oset row that corresponds to the step you want to edit.
3 Make the parameter change in the Synthesizer section. Your change will be recorded as an oset
value for this step.
4 Repeat step 3 for each parameter that you want to edit for this step.
A parameter oset 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 oset) between the
original parameter value and the new parameter value.
•
In the (parameter) oset row, the oset from the original parameter is represented as a bar
starting from the zero point (horizontal center line).
•
Positive osets are shown as a bar above the center line.
•
Negative osets are shown as a bar below the center line.
