Groove Agent provides you with ready-to-go drum rhythms in only a few mouse clicks. Groove Agent can play the hottest, most popular and influential styles from the past 50 years of music history. Based on quality drum samples most of which were recorded especially to analog tape, Groove Agent puts a top studio drummer at your fingertips.
Creating your own drum track couldn't be simpler - just choose a music style, a drum kit and you're off. Set the amount of drum room ambience, play fills and half-time breaks. Groove Agent can play at over two dozen different complexity levels, allowing you to create the right mood with your rhythm track simply by moving a slider. Adjust volume, ambience, decay, tuning and velocity response individually for each instrument.
What's new in this version
Among the new features in Groove Agent 3 are two new agent player modules,
namely Special Agent and Percussion Agent. The new Special Agent offers
exceedingly realistic modelling of a real studio drummer based on customized
audio recordings, while Percussion Agent plays a range of new percussive
instruments in a large range of styles. With the new Dual Mode, any two of the
three modules can be combined in a virtual jam session, offering more dynamics
and variability.
With the new Drum Sample Import feature, users can now also import their own
samples, allowing Groove Agent 3 to utilize almost any drum sound for its
grooves, beats and fills. Separate samples for dry and ambience samples can
be imported, providing a quick, easy way of creating a virtual drum kit miked up
in its own room.
Groove Agent 3 also offers new functionality including a new FX section
featuring a new EQ and compressor, with new presets ready for each drum
component as well as each kit. With its Alternating Hits feature, Groove Agent 3
automatically alternates samples to avoid repetition of sounds, ensuring lively,
realistic drum rolls and paradiddles. The Auto Fill feature intelligently generates
fills to help produce dynamic drum backing tracks for improvisation on other
instruments, making Groove Agent 3 ideal for use as a rehearsal and jamming
tool.
