With the 'Voice Auto Select' function enabled at the top of the Assignment section, a played voice is automatically highlighted.Įach kit preset has 25 voices in it, 24 of which play fixed-pitch sounds (assigned to MIDI notes C1-B2), while the 25th voice can be played chromatically above C3. Clicking on the blue name selects that sound and highlights it with a white box. You can audition sounds by playing your MIDI keyboard or by clicking on the small keys on the left-hand side of the Assignment section. Ultrabeat's layout can be broken down into three areas: the Assignment section the Synthesizer section and the Step Sequencer (see the screen below). I recommend that you explore these presets: they all come with drum and percussion patterns pre-programmed and they offer a wide range of voices and styles. Included with the factory installation are over 800Mb of sampled sounds, along with more than 80 preset kits that can be loaded in the usual way from the preset menu in the plug-in window header. It has 25 voices, each having access to a fully-featured step sequencer, and is described as a drum synth, but it's handy for other sounds as well, and it also has some neat hidden features. Introduced with version 7, and further developed with version 8, Ultrabeat is a software instrument specially designed with drum and percussion sounds in mind.
Not everyone finds drum programming easy, and if you're one of the rhythmically challenged, Logic's Ultrabeat drum synth could be your ticket to more interesting and sophisticated percussive parts.
