Recording Samples in the Standalone Version

In the standalone version of Groove Agent, you can create samples by recording the audio input of the plug-in.

Procedure

  1. Open the Preferences dialog, select the Input tab and select the audio inputs of your hardware for Input 1 and Input 2, and click OK.
  2. In the Kit Rack, select the kit for which you want to record the samples.
  3. Open the Record tab and make the following settings:
    • Set Record Start Trigger and Record Stop Trigger to Audio Threshold and specify the threshold levels.

    • Set Sample Mode to Auto Next to create multiple sample recordings.

    • Set Mapping to Chromatic to map the samples to the pads/keys automatically.

  4. Click the Record/Record Enable button to enable recording.
  5. Now play your guitar, or record various drum sounds, for example.
  6. When you are done, click the Record/Record Enable button again to deactivate record-enable.

Result

As soon as the signal exceeds the Start threshold, recording starts, and when the audio level falls below the Stop threshold, it ends.

Note

You can also record from an external MIDI keyboard and make use of the MIDI Note-On, MIDI Note-Off, Recording Start Trigger and Recording Stop Trigger functions. In this case, make sure that the MIDI notes that you play on the keyboard are also received by Groove Agent.
