•
Edit Mode switch: Select either Voice or Step mode.
•
Voice mode (default): In Voice mode, editing a drum sound’s parameters changes the drum
sound itself.

between C-1 and B0 as performance information. See MIDI control of Ultrabeat’s step
sequencer on page 380.

Swing knob: Rotate to set the swing intensity for all sounds that have the Swing function
turned on. See Use Ultrabeat’s swing function on page 372.
