Ultrabeat trigger shortcut menu<br />
Control-click (or right-click) any of the trigger buttons to open the Trigger shortcut menu, which<br />
contains the following commands:<br />
Copy, Paste, and Clear commands<br />
••<br />
Copy: Copies all activated triggers (steps) to the Clipboard.<br />
••<br />
Paste: Pastes all triggers from the Clipboard.<br />
••<br />
Clear: Turns off all activated triggers.<br />
Create Beat commands<br />
••<br />
Add Every Downbeat: Adds triggers on every downbeat in the sequence. The determination<br />
of steps as downbeats depends on the grid resolution. For example, if the resolution is set to<br />
1/16, Add Every Downbeat would create triggers on every fourth step. Starting with the initial<br />
downbeat at step 1, this would create trigger events on step 5, step 9, step 13, and so on. This<br />
command doesn’t erase existing trigger events; it only adds trigger events.<br />
••<br />
Add Every Upbeat: Adds triggers on every upbeat in the sequence. The determination of steps<br />
as upbeats depends on the grid resolution. For example, if the resolution is set to 1/16, Add<br />
Every Upbeat would create triggers on every 4th step. Starting with the initial upbeat at step<br />
3, this would create trigger events on step 7, step 11, step 15, and so on. This command doesn’t<br />
erase existing trigger events; it only adds trigger events.<br />
Alter, Reverse, and Shift commands<br />
••<br />
Alter Existing Randomly: Randomly reorders steps while retaining the number of active triggers.<br />
••<br />
Reverse Existing: Reverses the order of existing steps.<br />
••<br />
Shift Left 1 Step: Shifts all steps in the sequence one step to the left.<br />
••<br />
Shift Left 1/2 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one-half beat to the left. The number of<br />
steps that equals one-half of a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For example, at a<br />
resolution of 1/16, a beat equals four steps, so half of one beat is two steps; at a resolution of<br />
1/8, a beat equals two steps, so half of one beat equals one step, and so on.<br />
••<br />
Shift Left 1 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one beat to the left. The number of steps that<br />
equals a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For example, at a resolution of 1/16, a<br />
beat equals four steps; at a resolution of 1/8, a beat equals two steps, and so on.<br />
••<br />
Shift Right 1 Step: Shifts all steps in the sequence one step to the right.<br />
••<br />
Shift Right 1/2 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one-half beat to the right. The number of<br />
steps that equals one-half of a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For example, at a<br />
resolution of 1/16, a beat equals four steps, so half of one beat is two steps; at a resolution of<br />
1/8, a beat equals two steps, so one half of one beat is one step, and so on.<br />
••<br />
Shift Right 1 Beat: Shifts all steps in the sequence one beat to the right. The number of steps<br />
that equals a beat depends on the current grid resolution. For example, at a resolution of 1/16,<br />
a beat equals four steps; at a resolution of 1/8, a beat equals two steps, and so on.<br />
Create and Replace commands<br />
••<br />
Create & Replace Randomly: Erases, then randomly creates new, steps in the sequence; in other<br />
words, a brand new sequence is created. The number of events that are created depends on<br />
the grid resolution.<br />
••<br />
Create & Replace Few: Similar to Create & Replace Randomly, but a limited number of new steps<br />
are created. The number of steps that are created depends on the grid resolution.<br />
••<br />
Create & Replace Some: Similar to Create & Replace Few, but more new steps are created. The<br />
number of steps created depends on the grid resolution.<br />
