Tokøta from Mastering.com walks through Ultra Beat's four pattern-trigger modes inside Logic Pro, showing how each responds when you hit a MIDI key during a live performance.
Toggle mode switches sequences the instant you press a key. Toggle on Step One waits until the pattern loops back to the start before switching, which feels more musical live.
Sustain plays a sequence only while the key is held, restarting from step one each time. One Shot triggers a full sequence with a single press, then stops, letting you re-trigger new patterns on the fly.
Switching between these modes changes how much control you have over timing versus spontaneity, useful for testing ideas quickly or performing beats live without committing to a fixed arrangement.
