David Nahmani Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) This Ultrabeat Preset is to use Ultrabeat as a Sample Playback Sampler. Each voice has been reset to default settings and only the Osc 2 is used. It goes directly to the amp and there is no enveloppe. That way, playing the corresponding key will play the sample that is loaded in that voice, nothing more, nothing less. As always in Ultrabeat, Samples #01 through #24 are mapped to C1 through B2, while Sample #25 is mapped to the rest of the keyboard, C3 and above. That allows to pitch the Sample #25, interesting to try with Drum Loops (their tempo will change accordingly). Anyway, I suggest you download it and check it out. It's one of those 'plain vanilla' default setting that everyone should have in their library. Once installed, all you have to do is click on the red text at the top of the (empty) waveform window in Osc 2 (bottom left) that says "No Sample Loaded" and select "Load Sample", then locate the desired sample on your hard drive. 09/19/2006: I have updated the setting file and zeroed in every parameter of every voice, including all 4 envelopes. I have also added a setting that routes velocity to volume over a 44dB range (the volume will read differently in Ultrabeat, but the range spans -44dB to 0dB when compared to a sample placed on a zeroed in Audio track).

ed Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Great! I keep saying I am going to take the time to create one of these (blank - from scratch templates are so helpful) but, I never have gotten around to it. Thanks for sharing this! ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 OK Something's wrong with that file... I'm looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well.. it's a total mystery. I have no idea what happened to that .pst , but as soon as I try to save a new .pst that has an empty sample cell, it downloads as "E" and won't finish to download. What I don't understand is why did it work so well at first and it doesn't anymore? Meanwhile, if anyone who successfully downloaded the preset earlier wants to create a new thread and try to upload it, I would appreciate it.

tajiijat Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Am I doing something wrong?...everytime I load a sample it never plays...all I get is a real low octave hum. Is there any way to tell if this default setting is active? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Are you 100% certain you are playing the key that corresponds to the sample you've loaded? It should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajiijat Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Okay, i got it working...but why are all the samples so low? I have to use a compressor to hear them....Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Okay, i got it working...but why are all the samples so low? I have to use a compressor to hear them....Is that normal? The preset as it was was giving you -3dB on your samples. I have updated the preset, so I recommend everybody to redownload the new one, which respects the level of your samples. The new one will play your samples at nominal level, meaning they will play on an Audio Instrument Track with the Fader set to 0 at the same level they would play if they were placed on an Audio Track with the Fader set to 0.

David Nahmani Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Look at the instructions in the original post for where to place the file on your hard drive. You never want to open Logic by double-clicking on a Logic file other than a song file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monogee Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 How do you set the sounds to trigger all the way to the end without holding the key using this setup(The SamplePlayer)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 How do you set the sounds to trigger all the way to the end without holding the key using this setup(The SamplePlayer)? Thanks Everytime you hit a key, you trigger the envelope. You need to adjust the decay of the envelope (Env 4) to cover the length of the sample.

monogee Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Seems I can't adjust the decay of env 4. Everytime I try, nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Make sure the "SUSTAIN" button is off (not red). Then grab the blue dot at the bottom of the envelope and drag to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RESPECT Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 hi david my sample player is not working logic doesnt let me click on it help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Not sure what you mean it "doesn't let you click on it"? Can you instantiate Ultrabeat? Can you see the "SamplePlayer" preset? Can you select and load it? Then what? Please let me know exactly at which step you're experiencing problems?

discolover Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi Dave, How come you can't adjust the velocity of the samples in the step sequencer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 You can: click-hold and drag up or down to adjust the velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discolover Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi Dave I know what you mean, but the velocity definitely doesn't work no matter what height the velocity bar is. Strangely the gate function does work. Weird BTW velocity works fine on other presets. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
