Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 44

Mute, Groups, Instrument Selection and Solo
The sounds in Groove Agent are organized in 8 logical groups:
1. Kick (bass) drum
2. Snare drum
3. Toms or effects
4. Hihat
5. Ride and Chinese cymbals
6. Crash and splash cymbals
7. Percussion group 1 (usually "high
pitched and quick playing" instru-
ments)
8. Percussion group 2 (usually "low
pitched and slow playing" instru-
ments)
You can use the corresponding Mute button at any time to kill the
sound output from any of these groups. Mute activated = no sound.
Mute disabled (un-lit) = sound on.
Next are the Solo buttons. When you're listening to a full drum kit and
want to tweak one of the groups only, it's usually easier to press Solo
for that group than to mute all other groups. Solo activated = only
solo-ed group(s) is (are) heard. Solo not active (un-lit) = all groups
are heard.
While listening to the preset styles and their related kits, you may want
to experiment with changing individual instruments or instrument
groups. Click the sound name field to open a pop-up menu from
which you can choose a different instrument. Change that tight 80s
studio kick to a dull 50s jazz kick in one easy go and hear the results
instantly!
When using the Sample Import function found on the Import & FX
page, the sample(s) you've loaded can be accessed here at the top of
the instrument list as "User". Please note that the Sample Import func-
tion is only available in the Upper module in Dual Mode.
