You can also drop samples into Beat Agent's Instrument Pads, and where you drop them within the Pad determines how they're handled: add (top), replace (middle) or map across multiple Pads (bottom).
You can drag and drop MIDI Patterns to and from the DAW: dropping a single MIDI pattern onto a Pad replaces the incumbent one, while dropping multiple patterns arranges them across multiple Pads.
Steinberg cites Cubase integration as one of Groove Agent 4's marquee features. However, these are precisely the areas in which Beat Agent excels, being essentially a conventional drum sampler hosting up to eight samples per pad, with adjustable velocity range and keyspan, three envelopes (pitch, filter and amplitude), real-time timestretch (AudioWarp), sample looping, sample slicing and MIDI effects (Rudiments and MIDI Delay). All Kits get four Auxiliaries with four effects slots each, however, as well as their own output channels feeding the Master output fader.Įditing of Acoustic and Percussion Agent's underlying sounds is limited to amplitude envelopes, tuning and send levels to their respective room and/or overhead channels. The Acoustic and Percussion Agents get a knob- laden Mixer with fixed insert effects (EQ, Compressor, Tape Saturation and Envelope Shaper), while Beat Agent's Mixer includes fully assignable effects for its four inserts (from a list of 29 processors). "Steinberg cites Cubase integration as one of Groove Agent 4's marquee features"Įach Agent offers its own feature set. Meanwhile, Percussion Agent patches range from typical Latin styles to dance, pop, funk and soul, and include a good selection of crisp instrumentation, including timbales, congas, triangles, shakers and more. There are also a few useful 'soundtrack-style' presets, but little in the way of more leftfield or unusual ethnic sounds. The Beat Agent kits lean towards urban and electronic styles, offering good starting palettes for tweaking and/or adding to. For its open sound, the Vintage kit is our favourite, but all three will have their uses, the other two being tight and controlled (Studio), and bright with a couple of bold, ringy snare drums (Rock). The acoustic kits offer a reasonable level of variety, with two snares and kicks each, plenty of velocity layers and round robin playback.

With Future Electronica, Sharooz has once again done an exceptional job!”įuture Electronica is available for purchase as a download for 39.99 EUR including German VAT.Each Kit has its own Pattern section, and for the Acoustic and Percussion Agents this also incorporates Styles, which are rather like the feature of the same name from Groove Agent 3 (see Pattern o'clock). Matthias Quellmann, product marketing manager at Steinberg added: “We’ve worked with Sharooz before: he’s really got his fingers on the pulse of today’s dance music, and has an outstanding talent to come up with fresh beats time and again. So much didn’t make the final cut, we wanted to make sure every single sound just hit hard and knocked as much as possible” said Sharooz. We spent days layering up drum hits and sculpting each hit so everything just fit together properly and worked in the loops.
We spent a lot of time in and around downtown Los Angeles, just talking to other producers, inviting them to the studio and trying to immerse ourselves as much as possible in the genre. “Making Future Electronica was a captivating experience for Israel Medina and myself.
