Need a real drummer for a song, but don’t have time or space for a complex recording session? Don’t know a drummer who can do the job right now? Groove Agent 3 is the perfect solution. Steinberg’s virtual drummer can play drum grooves and accompaniments in music styles from the last 50 years of music history. Groove Agent 3 gives you complete drum tracks in just a few clicks that sound as dynamic, lively and fresh as if you had a real session drummer playing in your song. The huge number of variations, fills, complexity levels, drum kits and the almost limitless combinations will fuel your imagination as well as your songs. Groove Agent 3 is also the ideal sparring partner for practicing your instrument – or as a drummer for your jam sessions with other musicians.
The classic Groove Agent concept (called Classic Agent in Groove Agent 3) is based on 1000s of MIDI sequences, which were played by top studio drummers especially for Groove Agent 3. With an extremely easy-to-use slider, you select a music genre, another slider sets the complexity of the groove being played. Each complexity level has its own drum fill, halrf-tempo and sidestick variations. The Edit area lets you change sounds or swap instruments around.
