I have been using ultrabeat for a year and a half and beleive its biggist flaw is having no where near enough spaces for samples or created percussion sounds.

Does anyone know a way of increasing the amount of spaces or linking more than one kit into a track so they can all be accessed in one matrix screen?

There is no way to extend the number of voices of a single UB past 25. Its a completely fixed design.

If you really were motivated, you could use the environment to chain together multiple UB kits so that they responded as a single kit. It would take me a lot of text to describe the process, but I'll give you some hints to get you started.

• open environment window
• switch to the layer which contains your audio instrument channel strips
• create a monitor object from the "new" menu in the env
• name the monitor object something like "Mega Ultrabeat"
• check the icon check box in the monitor object parameters on the left of the env window
• connect the outputs of the monitor object to 2 or more UB kits
• you will need to find a way to filter and transpose the incomming MIDI so that note ranges in blocks of 25 are playing the correct note range of each instance of UB you have created.
• in the arrange window, select the "Mega Ultrabeat" object as if it were a MIDI instrument

Perhaps some kind soul who knows the environement will elaborate on this.. I seriously don't want to type 3 pages of click here, type this, do that. But it is possbile if you tinker with the environment and read the manual.

Good luck!
