4. Record-enable the tracks.
5. If you have not recorded trigger notes in the DAW, select the patterns that you want to use
for the kits on the
Pattern page and activate Follow Transport in the kit slot section.
6. In the DAW, activate recording.
RESULT
The MIDI output of the kits is recorded on the tracks for which Groove Agent is selected as MIDI
input.
NOTE
Under VST2 hosts, the kits send their events only to the rst MIDI output port. If you do not want
to record all loaded kits, deactivate MIDI output for the kits that you do not want to use in the kit
slot section.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can now separate the recordings for the kits by dissolving the recorded MIDI part according
to MIDI channel. The channel number of the events of a kit corresponds to the MIDI channel that
is set in the kit slot section.
Note Repeat
Note Repeat allows you to repeat the notes of a particular drum sound.
In its most basic form, Note Repeat plays the current note with its velocity and note length over
and over again. Additionally, Note Repeat allows you to specify the note length, based on note
values or on milliseconds, and to dene the velocity of the notes.
Using the phrase player, you can set up a complex series of repeat notes, specify both a velocity
and a pitch progression for the notes, and create your own rhythmic patterns.
Each kit comes with its own Note Repeat settings. This allows you to simultaneously perform
note repeats for different instruments of multiple kits on dedicated MIDI channels.
The Note Repeat notes are also sent to the MIDI output of Groove Agent, allowing you to trigger
external plug-ins, or to record the notes in your host sequencer. Furthermore, if you are working
with
Beat Agent, you can use the pitch curve to modulate the pitch of your samples.
Note Repeat Page
The Note Repeat page has two sections. The upper section allows you to create simple note
repeats, assign trigger keys, and control the general behavior. The lower section provides the
phrase player.
