There's a couple of ways to do this: 1) Turn on pattern mode (bottom middle of the Ultrabeat window) and trigger different patterns with MIDI notes. The pattern storage menu is very bottom left of Ultrabeat, a drop-down menu. 2) (My favourite) Use the little textured button next to the word "pattern", bottom left of Ultrabeat, to drag the pattern into the arrange view. From here you can make copies and edit them in the piano roll.
Not only is this very helpful, but its great to hear someone who knows what he's talking about! I only came here cause i've just got hold of ultrabeat on logic 9 and needed to get a hold of the basics and was very impressed with your wide musical thoery knowledge. Keep it up man!
Fantastic tutorial! I've just started using Logic in the past two days and your tutorials have helped me gain a better understanding of tools like Ultrabeat and ES2. Thanks a ton!!
Excellent tutorial!! I have been trawling youtube for weeks now looking for something super simple and properly user friendly. I am very impressed with this and will be using more of your tutorials in future. Thank you so much.
just started watching your videos, subscribed instantly and please do make some more as im starting to use logic now and its great to get tutorials to help me out through the start!
@sebrug Because if you switch Ultrabeat into "pattern mode" the different patterns you program can be triggered by playing that MIDI note - in other words, if you hit C or A#, the pattern associated with that note will play.
@fleabags1971 You can achieve this by choosing the "Multiple Output" version of Ultrabeat. You can then assign different voices (i.e. drums) to different Aux channels. Then add those Aux channels in the mixer by pressing the little "+" button at the bottom of the Ultrabeat channel's fader.
@wib333 Drag the little textured square next to the "pattern" dropdown in the very bottom left of the window. This will drag a MIDI file out into the arrange page. Don't forget to turn off Ultrabeat's sequencer, or the loop will be playing twice.
@jammyd33 I believe Logic Express has Ultrabeat, yes. Go to Logic Express on the Apple site, then look at the "Plugins and Sounds" tab, which tells you which synths Express 9 has.
@wib333 right under the "swing" knob in the lower left corner, there's something that says "drag onto track" or something like that. Just drag that onto the track. If you're using different drumbeats throughout the song, be sure to power off the ultrabeat or you'll get overlapping drum tracks. Have fun!
@TheK4j4 and all the rest: at the LEFT BOTTOM corner of Ultrabeat, you see the word 'Pattern'. Right next to the right of this word, there's a small grey rectangle with little dots in it. (On mouse over, these dots will appear red). When you like your pattern, simply drag this rectangle to your arrange window, in your drumtrack-lane, et voila!
@wib333 at the bottom left of the ultrabeat window you will see the word 'Pattern'... then to the right of it is a rectangle with [11(A#-1) sq] in it. all you have to do is drag the little button to the left of that to the arrangement window to include it into the track. also remember to turn ultrabeat off once you have done this otherwise ulrabeat will play aswell as the copied section when you hit the space bar (or the play button of your new to logic)
You can right click where you change your velocity for the hits and choose random velocity too, also randomize the gate. It may be ctrl click or right click...
@enickgoku At the bottom right of the Ultrabeat window you will see the word "pattern". Directly to the right of that is a textured rectangular button. You can drag this into the arrange window onto the the track, and then mess with the MIDI file in the piano roll like any other MIDI region. This is quite funny because it's exactly what @MissingAmongPeople was ranting about yesterday :D
@DJAntiWack Hmm, interesting idea. It would be possible, as you can import EXS instruments into Ultrabeat. Do a Ctrl-Click on your loop region, go Convert > Convert to New Sampler Track and choose "Transient Markers." Save the resulting EXS instrument, and import it into an Ultrabeat. You might then have to glue the original loop back together, flex it and take a groove template, and apply it to your MIDI region playing the Ultrabeat. Complicated!
Yo dude! Respect for doin' theese videos, they've been quite helpfull to me! In the end of this video, you talk about doing variarities, but how do you create multiple patterns?
Very helpful! Thanks alot for posting :) Im struggling with how to put it into the MIDI track as well as some of the others here though.. But thanks alot!
cheers for the video. really well presented and helpful. one question though, would you advise doing each separate part of the drums on an ultrabeat of its own? i have this idea that it might give you more flexibility down the line to further mix the drums. thanks
Thanks, man! You're amazing! The best tutorial man out there by far. I've got a question though... I can make the bass on ES2 and I can make the beat on ultrabeat but how can I put it all together now?
Hi, the drums patterns appears horizontalyy for me m unable to proceed further... hw can I change the pattern to make it appear vertically so tat I can choose 11A#-1 ???? waiting for ur reply.... very informative video ;)
if you check the logic website, there should be a place where they let you download the presets from there (in case you delete them or like you, dont have them at all)
@Cyclone001315 Well, that 2 step one is a custom patch I made, but do you not have the folders like "Drum Kits" and "Drum Banks" below it? If not, it sounds like you installed the presets wrongly (or not at all). I can't remember exactly which disc you need (so long since I installed Logic), but look through your Logic discs and you should be able to install all the sounds/jampacks from one of them.
Awesome video again, cheers and keep them coming, respect! In response to Najam133, he shows you how to pull up the logic kits in this video at about 0:40 seconds. If there is none there, perhaps you didn't install the program and the Jam packs correctly, is it an illegal copy by any chance?
Thanks, I have been looking for something like this for a while. I was wondering if it was possible to use the keyboard/ MIDI trigger in real time to put in the beats/ noises rather than the computer keyboard? Thanks again.
you don't need to make different channels for different rates of the wobble. if you click on automation, click on volume control, scroll down to ES2, then LFOs, then LFO2 Rate and you can control the rate of your wobble without creating several channels. I find that much simpler anyway, you might not.
I was wondering how you altered your Clap and Snare to be so short and 'snappy'. When I open up the default 'Ghost Town' drumkit, these two have a echo-ish sound to it. I'm quite a Logic noob so don't shoot me for posting a silly question. Thanks in advance for getting back at me with this! Cheers and thanks for the tutorial!
Hi There, great tutorials. Just one silly question. how do you get your ultrabeat pattern up onto the arrangement window once you've got the beat you want?
fantastic. i have watched all of your videos. thank you so much. i have a problem. everytime i load any of the drum kits in ultrabeat it says can't find DAT-dubstep kick1.aif can you help me?
Sounds to me like you didn't install the Logic extra content correctly. Try putting in your Logic install DVD and making sure all the content is checked on the installer.
i'm very unexperienced as the following question will no doubt reveal: once i've made a pattern how do i transfer it into the project/ put it into the track? Any answers would be much appreciated, thanks.
I really badly need help, my friend got me logic pro 8 from his music college but its all in a folder and not downloaded through the app store. The problem i have is there are no presets for me to begin working with. Im new to logic and need to use presets to fiddle around with. Thanks!
how do I create a loop of just that drum pattern and place it into the track? I understand the building process, however when I play the track it just goes on forever. How do I create a loop of the beat so I can place it into the track and not have to worry about when it ends in the song?
My logic pro only seems to have 15 different drum presets & they suck, while yours on the other hand has many. Mine dosen't have 'Ghost Town' or anything cool like that. Anyone know what I can do about this & get the presets I want?
TO ALL THE PRODUCERS HERE: Please check out my tracks and follow us online as we build a fanbase during the making of Hallucinogen, our 4 disc debut album! Feel free to help us with the process by adding ur two cents and tips! ur in trouble if you think you know everything, right?
For some reason I don't have Ghost Town, I do have Logic 9.1 though. Is it an add on? Can you put it up for download? I don't know why I'm missing it if it should come with logic
I've seen a billion Logic tutorials on youtube, and this is one of the best.

Thanks! Your tutorials are absolutely excellent! Really easy to watch. Easy to understand teaching style! Keep up the good work!
This is one of the better tutorials on TH-cam. Thanks a bunch! It was really helpful.
Great tutorial as always. Exactly what I needed to get some help on. I am exited for the next tutorial. Have a lovely christmas.

2009 vids always do the trick. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing...awesome job...coming from a rock/industrial ethos and very new to the Logic world, this is great...thanks
Nice one mate! Thanks a lot...
Surely the last option is preferable - nice and simple!
Keep the videos coming, i'm keen to learn more from you...
this was really helpful, please make more dubstep related tutorials!

thank you and merry christmas to you as well!
gonna be watching your vids more... ive been playin with logic for over a year... only recently learned how to sequence my drums in ultrabeat...
Great video, really clear. Cheers mate
Thanks soo much dude, you hleped me with my dubstep drum patterning sooo much!
Nicely done, thank you very much, well appreciated, keep up the good work!
Great! Thanks for an excellent intro to Ultrabeat. I have been kind of - avoiding it this will get me off my lazy butt;-)
Yo dude!

@DJAntiWack you could do it in Fl studio. it has a vst for slicing up beats and other samples and using them however you like.
There is a box on the bottom left of the ultrabeat window that says pattern. Click, hold, and drag it onto the arrangement window
@soundsLogical I meant to say bottom left of the Ultrabeat window.
one of the best ways to come with original patterns is to start with the hats
Thanks, man! You're amazing! The best tutorial man out there by far. I've got a question though... I can make the bass on ES2 and I can make the beat on ultrabeat but how can I put it all together now?

Thank you man! Great tutorial
Thanks man I learned a lot from your video.
Peace
@SilentWeeks28 try turning on sequencer? that might help other than that i dont know without looking into it
@tomdmorgan have a look at my "Mixing Drums" video.
Hi There, great tutorials. Just one silly question. how do you get your ultrabeat pattern up onto the arrangement window once you've got the beat you want?
Not silly. I had the same question
Daetwan Williams Rich E Reid you left-click on the left-hand bottom corner, where you can read " pattern ", and drag it to the arrange window
Great video. Very helpful thanks :)
fantastic. i have watched all of your videos. thank you so much. i have a problem. everytime i load any of the drum kits in ultrabeat it says can't find DAT-dubstep kick1.aif can you help me?
Thank you this was very helpful :) Don't forget to turn pattern mode back on when your done..I did haha..then drag it back in and your good

nice vid dude
thanks so much for showing me this :D
Does anyone know how to lace drums sounds sound effects etc. from audio wav files on your midi piano keyboard into logic?
thx for that tutorial very good work ;)
i'm very unexperienced as the following question will no doubt reveal: once i've made a pattern how do i transfer it into the project/ put it into the track? Any answers would be much appreciated, thanks.

When I try to adjust the "Swing Button" I cannot. It only says *Disabled* without any color headers. Please help. I'm barely new to Logic
how do you then add plugins such as reverb to individual drums used in ultrabeat?thanks
thanks
I have a question, once you have the pattern that you want on the sequence how do you recorded onto a track?
hey my friend, I bought this sound pack a few days ago, how do I place it in Logic pro 8?
My logic pro only seems to have 15 different drum presets & they suck, while yours on the other hand has many. Mine dosen't have 'Ghost Town' or anything cool like that. Anyone know what I can do about this & get the presets I want?
yay, its a bit like making a drum beat on fruity. thanks!
its like drum rack in ableton
Hello can you save individual drum patterns in Ultra beat?
Is it not the same to produce at 70bpm without missing a beat?
any way to get hold of those ultrabeat presets? i liiiike...
:D
@soundsLogical i get taht but how do you actually record that pattern?
Okay, after i made the beat on ultrabeat. how do i put it on the place where you put the loops?
@remco366 did you torrent it? if so thats your problem
y u no show me how to do drop da drop?
Is it possible to filter / modulate beats using UltraBeat?
when i press play i cant hear it
how do you record this into your track?
Wait, why won't it record
The final result sounds good, its more of the old school dub style that was prime. now weve been flooded with something terrible, brostep.
Supaleiwand. Like it!
what kit is this?
Logic is the bomb. But fruity loops... with making drums.. KING!

Same here, man! Where the frick is it?
Same. I used the 'epic electro' kit and I think it sounds a little bit better actually.
