Chapter 14 Ultrabeat 360
The example below illustrates the simplicity and speed of Ultrabeat’s modulation options:
In this example, the modulation intensity of Env 1, which aects Cuto, is controlled with the
dynamics of the performance (Vel). The secondary via modulation also controls its direction. Try
this setting in Ultrabeat to create some interesting sounds.
Create a modulation routing in Ultrabeat
The following applies to all parameters that oer mod (and via) modulation options.
Create a modulation routing
1 Click the mod label of the parameter you want to modulate.
2 Choose a modulation source from the mod pop-up menu.
•
O: Deactivates the mod routing, and the mod control can no longer be adjusted. In this
situation, no via modulation can occur either, because via no longer has a modulation target,
and the via control disappears.
•
Lfo1-Lfo2: Choose one of the LFOs (low frequency oscillators) as the modulation source.
•
Env1-Env4: Choose one of the envelope generators as the modulation source.
•
Max: Produces a static modulation at maximum level. When the mod value is set to Max, the
via parameter is routed directly to the modulation target. Velocity can then be used as a direct
modulation source, even though Vel is not available as a source in the mod pop-up menu.
Tip: You can also set up an external MIDI fader unit with Ctrl A, B, C, or D (see Assign Ultrabeat
MIDI controllers A–D on page 361). Use the Max menu item to route a via source—Ctrl A, B, C,
or D—to the parameter you want to control with a fader on your MIDI fader device.
