VST Groove Agent 2 Mode D'emploi page 59

1971 Cajun
You no longer need to go "Deep down in Louisiana close to New Or-
leans" to get that spicy cajun feeling. Just tune in to Groove Agent's
1971 Cajun style, set your VSTi host to preferred 86 degrees, or...
BPM, and get cooking! Add a pinch of accordion and a bouncing
bass to the busy snare, and you're off. Bon appetite! MK
1972 Bonzo
This style is, as the name suggests, to some extent inspired by the late
great John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, perhaps the most influential hard
rock drummer. I suggest you turn the Ambience dial up to at least 2
o'clock to get that big heavy feel. The patterns A to E are intended to
emulate Mr. Bonham's habit of playing the drumkit with his bare hands.
To achieve this effect, Percussion 2 should be activated for these pat-
terns. Percussion 1 is supposed to sound like a tambourine attached
to the hihat. The complexity increases from pattern 1-10 with hihat and
then it starts over for Pat 11-20 with ride. The 1/2 Tempo Feel patterns
have small snare triplet things going on that are not found in the regular
patterns.
Although perhaps not environmentally correct, some songs just call
for being run on leaded fuel. MD
1973 Dark Side
It never ceases to amaze me, how you can sell so many records and
play so few notes. There's a fair amount of inspiration from Pink Floyd's
"Dark Side of the Moon" album in this style, well suited for slow songs.

1974 Reggae
This is a triplet based version of reggae usually played with sidestick.
The sound of the drums is very dry. When we recorded these drum
samples for Groove Agent, sound engineer Jens Bogren turned around,
looked at us and asked: "Do you really want it to sound like that?". We
nodded. MEB
