Working With Pads
Groove Agent SE features two different types of pads: instrument pads and pattern pads. Instrument pads are used to trigger samples. Pattern pads trigger MIDI drum patterns or styles.
Pattern Pads
Pattern pads trigger MIDI drum patterns or styles.
Agent Page
The Agent page allows you to select and set up the patterns or styles that are played by the pattern pads. With the two buttons at the top, you can select whether you want to use the MIDI Player or the Style Player.
Style Player
The Style Player allows you to load styles and make playback settings for it.
Using the Style Player

Using the Style Player

If the Style Player is activated and a style is selected on the pop-up menu, you can assign intros, fills, and endings to pattern pads by using the large dial in the Performance section.

To do so, activate the pattern pad and set the dial to the intro, fill, or ending that you want to use.
The pattern pad plays the selected part each time you trigger it.

Note

Intros and endings are not affected by the parameters Halftime, Complexity, Auto Complexity, Auto Fill, and Crash Mode.
Fills are not affected by the parameters Halftime, Complexity, Auto Complexity, and Auto Fill.
