Why take three virtual rhythm plug-ins into the studio when you can just take one? Steinberg’s Groove Agent 4 attempts to do it all.īack in the dim and distant past (well, 2003 to be precise), Steinberg released their first iteration of Groove Agent. It eventually sat alongside two other virtual instruments (Virtual Guitarist and Virtual Bassist), all of which shared a similar approach. They were, in essence, computer-based musicians and, provided you were happy to work within the constraints of the supplied sounds/performances, capable of doing a decent turn if you needed quick results or didn’t have access to ‘real’ musicians to fill these roles on your projects.įor their time, these were novel and innovative products and Steinberg deserve a respectful nod for taking some of these initial steps along a road that other developers have now followed. While Virtual Guitarist and Virtual Bassist no longer have a place in Steinberg’s product line, Groove Agent does. It evolved through v.2 (2005) and v.3 (2008), both of which expanded upon what was essentially the same format. However, if you are familiar with Cubase 5 or later, you will have encountered Groove Agent ONE and perhaps Groove Agent SE4, both of which are more in the MPC-style drum-machine mould.
It might not come as a surprise, therefore, that the long-awaited Groove Agent 4, while it may be the next number in the sequence, appears to be a very different beast. It’s also perhaps not surprising that Steinberg felt this significant overhaul was required if Groove Agent was going to stay relevant given the abundance of excellent drum tools, whether virtual drummers or MPC-style drum machines, that are now available. These categories are not, of course, mutually exclusive and, for example, with the right samples, something like EZDrummer can do urban just as easily as it can do rock. Getting Started Pattern and Instrument Pads In Groove Agent SE, you can edit both the sounds and the patterns that are used by your drum tracks. However, with Groove Agent 4, Steinberg seem to be on a bit of a mission to bring these kinds of tools together. Indeed, in Groove Agent 4, we get three different drum tools Acoustic Agent, Beat Agent and Percussion Agent, and Steinberg’s tag-line for GA4 is ‘ultimate drum studio’.

It seems to work fine for me draggning the MIDI into reaper but sometime I have to reselect the pattern or the time signature before I do it, or I can get a 4/4 on a 6/8.That’s quite a label, so does three into one go? Not So Secret Agentsįor the purposes of this review, I installed GA4 from a download (around 9GB - pour a drink and wait), although there is a boxed version available. I was thinking of getting EZ Drummer 2, but ended up with RealiDrums from VST Buzz (because of the offer and groove generator) and I just tried it quickly so far. How do you use EZDrummer 2 compared to RealiDrums (or how you'd like to use RealiDrums) Yesterday I just found your comment on YouTube and then your message here basically at the same time! Very disappointed - being used to EZDrummer2 ! And you have to do it a bit before the start of the beat otherwise it will be late by one beat. The only way to start it is to click on the play button (or on the associated midi key).

The groove generator looks like a good idea, but it does not sync nicely, at least within Reaper. The complexity sliders are really musical.so one midi groove can end up being a whole song, especially with swapping elements in and out and varying the complexity for each.

and i have used and use almost every major (and some minor) drum software out there, as well mixing a fair bit of tracked drums.
I will post some demos, because im still totally behind it. I'd pay that much just to be able to drag and drop measured fills, but again if they're "music store drum set try out" style it won't serve any purpose. I'd pull if it there was a lite version without the sounds for $50-75. Not known how well the hat/ride scaling will sound with my drum libraries. I'm not convinced about how well the drag and drop will work in practice with fills - and how variable they are.Īlso not obvious how variable things are with the kick and snare complexity slider I want something like this, but it depends on on the quality of it. They're pushing the sound aspect hard, which is in a market filled with great choices already, while deemphasizing the groove generator aspect. A curious cross between Jamstix and the first two versions of Groove Agent.
