Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 107

Shuffle Funk (T, recorded at 85 BPM)
A couple of centuries ago, fusion bands seemed to pop up from ev-
erywhere. This style represents a mixture from that school. Triplet
based grooves, bordering to dotted 8ths and 16ths. Perfect for "in-
strumental music". Electric Jazz, anyone? RK
Choo Choo Brush (recorded at 120 BPM)
My reason for including this style in Groove Agent 3 is that I frequently
get requests like "Try playing the same thing but with brushes". This
groove is very Don Henley/Eagles. It works with practically any song
based on a straight 8ths feel. RK
Slow Rock (T, recorded at 60 BPM)
Do you remember how the Slow Rock preset in really old drum ma-
chines used to sound? This is really a 12/8 style more than anything
else, but it plays well with the host time signature set to 4/4. Blues
players, look here, this is for you! The shuffle beat in the kick drum
should inspire any bass player to give that little extra. RK
Stiff Little 16ths (recorded at 88 BPM)
Drum machines used to sound like this some 20 years ago. Every level
in this style is based on even 16th notes. You may think that I play like
a machine on this one. Well, that's fully intentional. Oh Vienna – Ras-
mus the drum computer! RK
Country Rock (recorded at 110 BPM)
Here's something that could be applied to a song approaching the
classic "American FM Rock/Country Rock" territory. A good, punchy
kick drum provides a solid ground for the bassplayer. Minutes before I
recorded this, I listened to Keith Urban's "Somebody Like You". That
should say it all. RK
