The included VST instruments
Filter parameters
The row of parameter controls below the LCD display
shows four parameters used to edit the Groove Agent
ONE filter:
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 ex
-
change format).
Ö Groove Agent ONE imports only the mapping data
from the PGM file. Any additional information (on MPC ef-
fects, 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 26.
The function of the Export button is described in detail in
the section
“Saving a GAK archive” on page 27.
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.
Mute Gr. With this control you can assign a pad to one of eight
mute groups. Pads within a mute group never play back
simultaneously. New notes cancel previous notes.
Tr. Mode The sample of the currently selected pad is played either
from start to finish (One Shot) or only for as long as you
hold the mouse button/key (Key Hold). Key Hold can also
be determined by the length of the corresponding MIDI
note on your track.
Output Groove Agent ONE provides up to 16 stereo outputs.
You can route pads to individual outputs using this con
-
trol. See the Operation Manual for information on how to
use multitimbral instruments in Cubase.
Parameter Description
Type Sets the filter type: low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP) or band-
pass (BP). When you set this knob to OFF, the settings on
this editing page have no effect.
Cutoff Sets the filter cutoff frequency.
Q Sets the filter resonance.
Mod This parameter determines the influence that velocity has
on the cutoff frequency. When set to 0
%, the setting has
no effect. When set to any other value, the cutoff fre
-
quency changes depending on the velocity.
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.
