 Paste Sequence > (submenu): Use to replace all, or individual sequences, of the target
drum sound. Paste Sequence has no impact on the target drum sound. Pasting a
single sequence replaces the currently active sequence (as set in the Pattern menu)
of the target drum sound. This allows you to import drum sound sequences into any
of the 24 possible pattern locations. Note that these operations only affect the
selected drum sound, all sequence and sound data of the other 24 drum sounds
remain untouched.
 Swap with Clipboard: Swaps the content of the Clipboard with the target drum
sound. As this command swaps both drum sound and sequence data, it’s very useful
for reorganization of your drum kit.
Dragging EXS Instruments Into the Assignment Section
You can also drag an EXS instrument directly onto the Assignment section to import
the entire EXS instrument. This method does not allow paging through the EXS
instrument if it contains more than 25 sounds of sample material. Ultrabeat will only
map those sample zones and layers within Ultrabeat’s drum sound range of C1 to C3,
and ignore the rest.
The Mixer
The Assignment section contains a mixer for the 25 sounds found in an Ultrabeat drum
kit. It allows you to adjust each sound’s volume and pan position, and also offers a
Mute and Solo button.
Volume
The individual volumes of all sounds are indicated by blue bars, providing a complete
overview of all levels within the kit. You can adjust the volume of the sound, in relation
to Ultrabeat’s total output level, by dragging the blue bar beneath the sound name.
The Master (Volume) control is found above the 25th drum sound and controls the
levels of all drum sounds in the kit: put another way, the overall mix level of all drum
sounds.
