First test

Let's make sure Groove Agent 3 is properly set up and ready to play:
1. If you load Groove Agent as a VST instrument, make sure Groove
Agent is selected as the output for a MIDI track. If required, make sure
your MIDI controller is routed to this track.
2. Open the Groove Agent panel. Move the Style slider to a style of your
choice. Be prepared to wait for a second or two while Groove Agent
loads its samples for this style. The green LCD window is helpful here
with its Loading and Ready messages.
3. Adjust the tempo of your host application to suit each style's favorite
tempo range as displayed in the "range" field in the green LCD win-
dow.
4. Click Run in the Groove Agent window. Now you should see the red
LCD meters on the Groove Agent interface flash and the beat light in-
dicate 1-2-3-4. You should also hear cool rhythms streaming from
your speakers!

Groove Agent terminology

Accent – The kind of Accent we refer to in this manual is the tradi-
tional marked hit, typically played on the crash cymbal and kick drum.
When played off beat, like e.g. on the 8th note preceding a bar line, it
becomes a syncope.
Ambience – Groove Agent 3 comes with a complete set of ambience
recordings for all drums and percussion instruments. The acoustic
sounds have been recorded with distant microphones and the elec-
tronic sounds have been processed through various reverb and ef-
fects units.
Channel – A Channel in Percussion Agent can be seen as a single
musician playing his/her instrument. Each Channel can have its own
settings for volume, pan, shuffle, tuning, ambience and even start
point offset.
