rainstick Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 When i drop an EXS instrument into Ultrabeat i then have to go through each individual sample on the ultrabeat and turn on the sustain and drag it to the right in order to make the sample not one shot I was wondering if there was a quicker way to do this, ? it can be a bit tedious when i have to to it 24 times. cheers!

rainstick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 also... if i can add to this - does anyone know a way to use groove templates with the ultrabeat sequencer, ? So i could build a loop in ultrabeat that was in time with a groove template i'd made.... cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the MIDI region your groove template is based on and move it out to some position after the end of your song. Now beatmap that region so that the timing matches your groove template for those bars. Copy those tempo events to as many following bars as you like. Use this section to create your sequence in UB. Drag the new sequence from UB into the Arrange back at the location you want it. Then apply the original groove template to it. I've never tried this, but it's the only way I can think of to work on a sequence in UB to match a groove template. If there's an easier way I'd love to know it too.

rainstick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cool, cheers fader, ill give that a try and see if any other idea's pop up do you know if there's a way to mass affect the envelope's on the ultrabeat though, ? So i don't have to edit all 24 sample's individually, ? I tried making an ultrabeat ' template ' where all the section's of the assignment bit are set to ' innit sample ' with the sustain point set on the envelope... But as soon as i drag an EXS file onto the ultrabeat all the envelopes are reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you experimented with editing the EXS instrument settings first, then importing to see if that makes any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainstick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yeh... Well, i tried setting all the sample's in the EXS to 'One Shot" and then back again to see if that triggered anything... but it doesn't affect the ultrabeat's envelope. Couldn't really think of any other parameters that should have an effect, ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hmmm... I don't think the envelope offsets are going to make a difference either. Anyway, in Ultrabeat, you may pick up some speed in changing those settings by switching to the Controls view in the plug-ins View menu. Could help. You could make a region of automation that sets up the envelopes, but you'd still need to manually toggle the one-shot parameter, I believe.

rainstick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 thanks fader.... one question though - i've beatmapped to a midi groove that i've made... And im not actually sure how to copy over the tempo information, ? i can't find it in the manual or on here, although it's probably in both... I've done the beat map bit, im just not sure how to copy the tempo infomation across 64 bar's or what not... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainstick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 cool cool... set locators - open tempo list - SHIFT L - CMD C - deselect events - move locator's to desired location - CMD V just in case anyone else hits this thread or something... im just coping the grooves tempo information across the entire track in order to get ultra beat to work to the groove.... cheers fader!

fader8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Options-Tempo-Open Tempo List. Copy and paste away.... Be sure the playhead is where you want it before you paste.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fader8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So.... We can presume this method works then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
