Percussion Agent - Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi

Percussion Agent

The second great innovation in Groove Agent 3 is the all new Percus-
sion Agent. As with the live drumming in Special Agent, there's a spe-
cial "something" about instruments recorded live (as opposed to
samples triggered by MIDI). So we asked Rasmus Kihlberg to record
percussion grooves for this new module.
Percussion Agent can be seen an ensemble consisting of up to eight
percussionists (one per channel) playing together. Each player has an
instrument playing a particular groove, or rather five variations of a
groove. For each player you can adjust the shuffle factor, tuning,
amount of ambience plus pan and volume. Each channel can also be
assigned to any audio output.
Let's jump on the bus that takes us around the Percussion Agent
module.
A guided tour around the Percussion Agent module
ists, complete with settings and all. For a head start, simply load one
of the presets we've prepared for you. This gives you a great chance
to evaluate the possibilities.
Or you can skip the use of presets and start building your own ensem-
bles right away! More of that later.
The Import & FX button takes you to the page where you can import
Groove Agent samples and add FX to the Groove Agent 3 modules.
