you'll probably want to have the speaker icon (or similar) activated, so
that you can hear the drum sounds while you scroll through the notes.
When you set the GM Output to its ON position, Groove Agent will
redirect output notes so that it follows the General MIDI protocol.
When GM Output is active, this status is shown by a GM
symbol in the LCD window.
Ambience Split
You can make Groove Agent output the ambient or reverberated
sounds to a separate mixer channel output. This is handy if you want to
process that part of the sound separately. With this button activated,
the wet signal will only be heard on the highest numbered mixer output.
So what can you do with the ambience on a separate output? Well, EQ
or dynamics processing can create interesting effects. Or if you export
Groove Agent's drumming to an audio file, you can experiment with the
isolated ambience file. What does it sound like with the ambient sound
a bit late – or a bit early? Or with the dry sound from a techno snare
combined with the ambience from a piccolo snare...? Experiment!
When Ambience Split is active, this status is shown by a split
sound chain in the LCD window.
Vintage mode
We've exaggerated the effect of a timeline that houses authentic styles
and sounds by adding some clever filtering and narrowing the stereo
width. We believed that you would appreciate the old fashioned sound
of an old style playing an old kit. But there may be times when you want
to turn this effect off, so we've added a button here for you to do so.
With Vintage Mode deactivated, all vintage emulation gets deactivated.
The Vintage Mode effect can only be heard on styles between 1950
and 1975 and it is most prominent on the earlier genres.
When Vintage Mode is active, this status is shown by a
gramophone symbol in the LCD window.
