While we've tried our very best to make the sidestick option sound as
natural and musical as possible, there are instances where it felt really
awkward to use the sidestick. Therefore, the sidestick option is avail-
able in most but not all the complexity levels in Groove Agent.
❐
The sidestick playing technique generally sounds more natural at lower
complexity levels.
Accent
This button triggers a kick + crash cymbal hit. You
may use it as an accent in your song. When hit at an
off-beat, the accent hit becomes a syncope. The cur-
rent drum pattern stops for as long as you keep the
button pressed. Holding down the Accent button for
approximately one quarter note after you hit it on an
off-beat creates a very realistic syncope.
Fill
This is one of the most rewarding buttons of this in-
strument! A drum machine that played its patterns
very regularly and automatically triggered a fill every
8th bar would sound right most of the time but cer-
tainly not always.
In Groove Agent you are the band leader, the conduc-
tor! Hit the button when you feel it's time for a fill, and Groove Agent
will obey. If you hit the button early in a bar, you'll hear more of the fill
bar than if you hit the button late in a bar. Armed with this knowledge,
you can turn even the wilder fills into more discrete ones.
Please note that in most styles the fills end with a crash cymbal on the
downbeat of the next bar, just like a live drummer. You can turn this ef-
fect off by muting the Crash group.
Speaking of arming, you can actually start a pattern with a fill. When
Groove Agent is stopped, hitting the fill button will arm it, so that click-
ing the Run button makes Groove Agent start playing with a fill.
