600 Chapter 29 Ultrabeat
Note: Moving a control element in the Synthesizer section whose value has not yet
been changed in step edit mode adds an additional entry to the offset menu.
Parameter Offset Row Buttons
The Parameter offset row has three buttons: Mute, Solo, and Reset
The buttons functions are:
 Mute: Mutes the offsets of the selected parameter
 Solo: Solo the offsets of the selected parameter
 Reset: Returns all the offset values of the selected parameter to zero (no offset). A
second click on the Reset button will remove the parameter from the Parameter
menu.
Switching Between Step and Voice Mode
When creating offsets in Step mode, you may decide that you want to make a quick
change in the original drum sound. Rather than requiring you to switch back and forth
between edit modes for a simple change, you can press Option and Command to
temporarily flip Ultrabeat back into Voice mode.
Copying and Reorganizing Patterns
You can reorganize the 24 patterns of a sound in the Pattern menu, using a copy and
paste operation.
To copy a pattern using a shortcut menu:
1 Choose the desired pattern in the Pattern menu.
2 Control-click (or right-click) the Pattern menu, then choose Copy in the shortcut menu.
3 Choose the target pattern in the Pattern menu.
4 Control-click the Pattern menu, then choose Paste in the shortcut menu.
You can also use a key command short cut to copy patterns.
To copy a pattern using the key command short cut:
1 Select the desired pattern in the Pattern menu.
2 Press Option, open the Pattern menu and select another Ultrabeat pattern. This
replaces the pattern in the target position.
All sequencer data that exists in the new pattern number is replaced. If you change
your mind during the process, select the source pattern number.
