Tokøta walks through a clever Ultra Beat trick in Logic Pro: sidechaining an audio loop directly into its sequencer so you can chop drum breaks or melodic samples into entirely new rhythms.
Instead of just triggering the whole loop, you program individual steps to fire different slices of the sample, effectively building a custom rhythm from someone else's audio. Melodic loops work too, though you'll want to pitch-shift them first to stay in key.
The second half covers Ultra Beat's built-in sound library. Beyond drum kits like classic UK hip hop, you can dig into individual banks for hi-hats, kicks, snares, and effects.
The takeaway: you don't need external samples to build great-sounding drums. Ultra Beat's stock sounds, combined with the sidechain-chopping technique, give you plenty to work with once you know where to look.
