hi everyone- i would like to use a drum pattern in ultrabeat to trigger a synth track. i only want the synth track to create sound at the same time as the drum pattern. how should i go about this? what effects do i need to put on what tracks? are there multiple ways to achieve the same effect? thanks in advance to all the producers out there...

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question exactly, but it sounds like all you have to do is:

Copy the drum pattern from Ultrabeat into the arrange window:

Simply click and drag the small textured box on the lower left part of the Ultrabeat window to an empy Audio Instrument Track in the Arrange Window.

Then assign whatever synth you want to that track and it will play the midi region.


Hope that helps

oh. that's much much easier than i was thinking of. i try to get too complicated....
what i was tryin to go for is i had heard something about sidechains and compression, and triggering the signal from one to the other, and using busses, but frankly that all really confuses me. i'll give it a try and let ya know...

<<<<UPDATE>>>>
so the effect i was trying to achieve i figured it out..
1.create an ultrabeat track with a simple kick drum pattern
2. create a midi track with choir or synth, etc; put compression as an effect on track
2A. record part. playing notes as for a song/loop
3. send both tracks to a bus, make sure you turn volume on sends up so you can hear it
4. set output on both tracks to none
5. on bus track, set gate as effect; then put setting to "isolate kick drum"
6. synth track will play pattern of kick drum, muting when kick is not making noise

enjoy!
