Create an Ultrabeat mod routing in MainStage
This section outlines the creation of mod (and via) modulation routings in Ultrabeat. The following applies to all parameters that offer mod (and via) modulation options.
Create a modulation routing
In MainStage, click the mod label of the parameter you want to modulate.
Choose a modulation source from the mod pop-up menu.
Off: Deactivates the mod routing, and the mod control can no longer be adjusted. In this situation, no via modulation can occur either, because via no longer has a modulation target, and the via control disappears.
Lfo1-Lfo2: Choose one of the LFOs (low frequency oscillators) as the modulation source.
Env1-Env4: Choose one of the envelope generators as the modulation source.
Max: Produces a static modulation at maximum level. When the mod value is set to Max, the via parameter is routed directly to the modulation target. Velocity can then be used as a direct modulation source, even though Vel is not available as a source in the mod pop-up menu.
Tip: You can also set up an external MIDI fader unit with Ctrl A, B, C, or D. Use the Max menu item to route a via source—Ctrl A, B, C, or D—to the parameter you want to control with a fader on your MIDI fader device.
If you want to assign a via source, choose one of the following from the via pop-up menu.
Vel: Velocity is used as the via modulation source.
CtrlA to CtrlD: Choose one of these continuous controllers that can be assigned to four external MIDI controllers. These assignments apply to all sounds in the current Ultrabeat plug-in instance. See Set Ultrabeat MIDI controllers A–D.
Adjust the mod and via controls.
