The Included VST Instruments
Groove Agent ONE
Amplifier Parameters
The row of parameter controls below the LCD display shows six parameters:
Master Volume
In the Master section in the lower left of the Groove Agent ONE panel you can find a
master volume slider that sets the output volume of the instrument.
The Exchange Section
This section is used to import or export data to/from Groove Agent ONE.
Importing MPC Files
Clicking the Import button opens a file dialog in which you can navigate to a PGM file
(.pgm is the AKAI MPC exchange format).
Ö Groove Agent ONE imports only the mapping data from the PGM file. Any additional
information (on MPC effects, etc.) cannot be imported into Groove Agent ONE.
The MIDI Export pad is described in detail in the section “Slicing a Loop and
Triggering Individual Sounds via MIDI” on page 156.
The function of the Export button is described in detail in the section “Saving a GAK
Archive” on page 157.
Automation of Groove Agent ONE Parameters
When opening an automation subtrack for a track that uses Groove Agent ONE, you
can select the following plug-in parameters from the Add Parameters dialog:
-Volume
-Pan
-Mute
-Cutoff
- Resonance
These parameters are available for the pads C1 to B4.
Parameter Description
Volume The volume of the pad currently selected for editing.
Pan The panorama setting of the pad currently selected for editing.
Attack Controls the amplifier envelope attack time.
Release Controls the amplifier envelope release time. Reduce the release time
to shorten the decay of sounds played in one-shot mode.
Amp Mod This parameter determines the influence that velocity has on the pad
volume setting. When set to 100
%, the pad sounds louder the higher
the velocity. When set to 0
%, velocity has no effect on the pad
volume.
Attack Mod This parameter determines the influence that velocity has on the
Attack setting. When set to 0
%, velocity has no effect on the attack.
When set to 100
% and playing a pad with high velocity, the Attack
time is increased by 50
%. The higher the Attack Mod setting, the
longer the additional attack time for a pad.
