Percussion Agent
Percussion Agent specializes in instruments, grooves, and styles that feature percussive
elements.
Not only does this agent play perfect accompaniments to many of Acoustic Agent’s grooves, but
it offers an ideal way to create your own percussion tracks from scratch in just a few clicks using
the integrated style player. Over 20 percussion instruments, such as bongos, congas, shakers,
tambourines, and many more, have been recorded in minute detail using multiple microphones.
Percussion Agent also offers a dedicated Agent mixer for full control of your sound.

On the Edit page for instrument pads, you set up the sound of the kits.
● To open the Edit page, click the Edit button in the upper right section of the plug-in panel.
● To show the parameters for a particular percussion instrument, click on it.
