ew1 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 When I load my own samples into Ultrabeat, the length of the midi note determines the length of the sample. If I hold a key down, I get the full sample but if I play a shorter note, I get a shorter version of the sample. However, there are some stock Ultrabeat kits (like Boutique 909 for example) where the sample does not react to the midi in this way. No matter how short the midi note is, Ultrabeat will play the entire sample. How can I change this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rAC Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I think it’s whether or not you specify the sample as a ‘one shot’ or not. No doubt someone more knowledgeable will give a more detailed answer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted January 30 Solution Share Posted January 30 For each voice, you need to turn on the Gate button. For some samples, you may also want to turn on the Sustain button in Env4. Those are the two buttons in red below: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, when I click on this thread, I am shown the page as if I'm not logged in. At the moment, this only happens on this particular page. If it's not too messy to ask another Ultrabeat question in this thread, I'd love to know the following: How can you trim a sample's length within Ultrabeat? For example, if there's silence at the start of the sample, can you trim that? I'm sure it must be quite obvious to find by I can't seem to find it.

Not a trim per-se....but there's a start point trigger function that is tied to velocity (Min/Max sliders in Oscillator 2). https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/logicpro/lgsifdc01b86/mac If you need to actually trim the sample, you'd need to do this in the Sample edit window (or Quick Sampler/Sampler - Ultrabeat kits/kit pieces (and other Sampler/DMD/DKD kit data can be used across multiple Logic "percussion" and sample playback instruments). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Yes adjusting the sample start with the Max and Mix sliders should help you start the sample where you want it and disregard the silent part at the beginning of your sample. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ew1 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Oh yes. Thanks. I had found that already but didn't think that was the solution because the min and max sliders are for where the sample should start based only on a certain velocity so I ignored it. Of course, I should have realise that you could just drag BOTH the mix and max sliders to the desired starting point and that would provide a workaround. Still though, there should be a more straightforward one-slider way of doing this ideally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
