Steinberg Unveils Groove Agent VST Drummer

(Click for a close-up)

At this year's Musikmesse show, Steinberg presented the new VSTi by the development team behind "Virtual Guitarist": Groove Agent, a drummer who plays live, dynamic drums at the press of a button.

Groove Agent can play most famous drum styles from decades of music history. Some styles also include drum sounds recorded onto analog tape with vintage equipment for that genuine studio drum sound.

Anyone who can't do without their own drum sounds but wants Groove Agent to play their "live" drums for them can simply record the MIDI output to a GM-compatible drum track and then use their drum sample player of choice.

Groove Agent supports VST and is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Mac OS X.

Steinberg's Groove Agent will be available in April 2003 for €249.00 (price subject to regional variations).
