The Included VST Instruments
Groove Agent ONE
Velocity
• The velocity is determined by where on the pad you click: it is lowest at the bottom
of the pad and highest at the top.
• You can force all pads to a velocity value of 127 by activating the V-Max button in
the Global section in the top right corner of the Groove Agent ONE panel.
Resetting Pads
You can find a Reset button in the Global section in the top right corner of the Groove
Agent ONE panel. It allows you to clear all pad assignments of the current instance of
Groove Agent ONE.
As a safety precaution, the Reset button is locked by default. Clicking the Reset
button when it is locked has no effect.
To unlock the Reset button, hold down the [Shift] key while clicking. The button color
changes to red. When you click Reset now, all pad assignments are reset.
Drag & Drop of Audio Material
Groove Agent ONE provides advanced drag & drop support. You can drag one or
more samples at the same time from your host application onto Groove Agent ONE.
Samples can either be mapped to the same pad, or to different pads.
You can drag files to Groove Agent ONE from the following locations:
-MediaBay
- Project window
-Pool
- Sample Editor (regions)
-Audio Part Editor
- LoopMash slices (if LoopMash is supported)
Layering Samples on the Same Pad
When you select between one and eight samples and drag them to Groove Agent
ONE, dropping them onto a pad (or onto the Layer indicator – see below)
automatically creates a corresponding number of layers for this pad.
Drag & Drop to Several Pads
Rather than dropping several samples to the same pad, you can also let Groove Agent
ONE distribute samples across the available pads in one or several groups. To do so,
select samples, drag them to the Groove Agent ONE window, press [Shift] and drop
the samples onto a pad. The samples are mapped to the available pads, starting with
the pad on which you initially dropped the samples, and then upwards according to
the MIDI pitches of the pads.
How many samples can be dropped to several pads depends on the number of pads
available in your current instance of Groove Agent ONE. If Groove Agent ONE cannot
supply a sufficient number of free pads for the number of dropped samples, a dialog is
displayed in which you can confirm or cancel the operation.
Replacing Individual Samples
To replace a sample mapped to one pad with another sample, proceed as follows:
• Drag the new sample to the pad, press [Alt]/[Option] and drop it.
To replace a sample in a pad layer with another sample, proceed as follows:
• Drag the new sample to the Layer indicator, press [Alt]/[Option] and drop it onto
the required layer.

The Reset button is re-locked automatically five seconds after unlocking it.
