By clicking the Copy button and then memory slot number 2, all the
current settings are stored in Memory 1 but also moved into the new
memory slot. You are now free to go further and find the right sound
for, say, the chorus. With slot 2 active, you may fiddle around the panel
to your heart's desire. That perfect verse setting is safely stored at
memory position 1, so you're free to experiment. (While this description
does not represent the ultimate in flexibility when using Groove Agent,
this is ONE way to use automation.)
Here's another suggestion. Since the Memory slots store the entire
front panel settings of this instrument, you can jump between com-
plexity levels instantly and even completely different styles and kits in
one go! This may not be the ultimately realistic scenario – how many
drummers do you know that can change an entire kit in a snap – but it
sure gives you more flexibility than anyone could ask for!
❐
If you save your Groove Agent settings as a Bank (.fxb), all the content of
the Memory buttons will be retained.
Master volume
New in Groove Agent 2 is that audio activity stops when the Master
Volume control is at its minimum position. If you're using Groove
Agent 2 as a pure MIDI player, and using none of its internal sounds
(controlling external drum sounds only), you may want to save some
CPU power this way.
It's not very hard to describe a knob marked as Mas-
ter Volume, is it? You may think that it controls the
overall output from this instrument, and if so, you're
absolutely right!
When using several outputs, the Master Volume knob
controls all outputs.
