602 Chapter 29 Ultrabeat
Playback Mode
Pattern reactions to incoming MIDI notes is set in the Playback Mode menu. You will
find the following options here:
 One Shot Trigger: The reception of a MIDI note starts the pattern, which plays once
through its cycle, then stops. If the next note is received before the pattern has
reached its final step, the new note stops playback of the first pattern and the next
pattern begins playing immediately (this can be a different pattern or the same
pattern, depending on the MIDI note received).
 Sustain: The reception of a MIDI note starts the pattern and it continues playing in
an infinite loop until the corresponding MIDI note is released.
 Toggle: The reception of a MIDI note starts the pattern and it continues playing in an
infinite loop until the next note is received. If it is the same note, the pattern stops
immediately. If it is a different note, the sequencer immediately switches to the new
pattern.
Note: In Toggle mode, you can confidently switch between patterns in the middle of a
bar—the sequencer will stay in time and will automatically jump to the corresponding
beat of the new pattern. This isn’t the case in One Shot Trigger mode, however, because
the moment you switch in this mode, the new pattern is started from the beginning.
 Toggle on Step 1: The behavior is as per Toggle mode except that the pattern change
or stop occurs the next time beat 1 is reached—at the beginning of the next pattern
cycle.
Voice Mute Mode
When you activate Voice Mute mode, playing a MIDI note starting at C1 and upwards
mutes the corresponding sound in Ultrabeat’s mixer. A subsequent MIDI note of the
same pitch un-mutes it.
This is ideal for spontaneous arranging of pre-programmed patterns, and muting single
elements of a pattern without deleting them. This is especially useful in a live
performance—but not only there. Triggering the step sequencer via MIDI notes opens
up a number of remixing possibilities. Ultimately, all of the creative pattern switching
options discussed in this section is achieved through the use of MIDI note messages
and can therefore be simply recorded, edited, arranged, and automated in Logic Pro.
