ENGLISH
Dec – Altering the decay of an instrument can create interesting
changes to the sound, especially if they're recorded with ambience as
our acoustic drum and percussion sounds. A normal snare can be
turned into an extremely damped drum or to an almost gated reverb
kind of noise.
Amb – Here you can fine tune the amount of ambience for each group
from dry to wet. The main Ambience knob (in the bottom left corner of
the window) always serves as a master control, so if you make sure it's
in its 12 o'clock position, it'll be easier for you to do the fine tuning.
Vol – Finally you can adjust the total volume for each instrument group.
Out – Each group can be assigned to any of the 4 available outputs.
This is useful when you want to tweak one or more groups with exter-
nal EQ or effects.
Memory
When you first open Groove
Agent, the first Memory button is
lit. This means that it's active, it's
listening, it registers every change
you make. You don't have to acti-
vate this memory slot – it's always
live.
The Copy button copies whatever is on Groove Agent's panel into any
of the 10 memory locations. Click Copy and then a memory location,
and the procedure has been completed.
A dark button means that this location is empty, a red-ish colour indi-
cates that something has been saved here and a bright light shows
the currently active memory.
Each of the 10 memory slots can be regarded as a snapshot of all set-
tings in the entire instrument. After some tweaking you may have
found an overall setting that is absolutely right for, say, the verses of
your song.
