VST Groove Agent 2 Mode D'emploi page 42

Tune – You can tune each group up and down by as much as 12
seminotes with this knob. Please note that for ease of use, the knob
has a much finer resolution around its 12 o'clock position than at its
end positions.
Dec – Altering the decay of an instrument can create interesting
changes to the sound, especially if they're recorded with ambience as
our acoustic drum and percussion sounds. A normal snare can be
turned into an extremely damped drum or to an almost gated reverb
kind of noise.
Amb – Here you can fine tune the amount of ambience for each group
from dry to wet. The main Ambience knob (in the bottom left corner of
the window) always serves as a master control, so if you make sure it's
in its 12 o'clock position, it'll be easier for you to do the fine tuning.
Vol – Finally you can adjust the total volume for each instrument group.
Out – Each group can be assigned to any of the 1-8 available stereo
outputs. This is useful when you want to tweak one or more groups
with external EQ or effects.
Memory
The Copy button copies whatever is on Groove Agent's panel into any
of the 10 memory locations. Click Copy and then a memory button,
and the procedure has been completed.
A dark button means that this location is empty, a green-ish color indi-
cates that something has been saved here and a bright light shows
the currently active memory.
Each of the 10 memory slots can be regarded as a snapshot of all set-
tings in the entire instrument. After some tweaking you may have found
an overall setting that is absolutely right for, say, the verses of your song.
Groove Agent
42 English
When you first open Groove Agent, the
first memory button is lit. This means that
it's active, it's listening, it registers every
change you make. You don't have to ac-
tivate this memory slot – it's always live.
