Groove Agent SE comes with a collection of high-quality studio effects.
The Dynamics submenu contains the dynamics effects.
Some common controls and concepts exist throughout the program. For example, presets can be used in several different sections and contexts, but their handling is always the same.
These sections help you to get started with Groove Agent SE and introduce program functions and settings.
You can manage your files using the Load panel.
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.
Beat Agent SE is a full beat production instrument with all the tools and sounds to create amazing beats for any electronic or urban music genre.

The Delay submenu contains the delay effects.
The EQ submenu contains the equalizer effects.
The Filter submenu contains the filter effects.
The Distortion submenu contains the distortion effects.
The Modulation submenu contains the modulation effects.
Compressor reduces the dynamic range of a sound. This way, the sound gains headroom. You can use this extra headroom to make the overall sound louder again.
Vintage Compressor is modeled after vintage type compressors.
This versatile compressor with integrated tube-simulation allows you to achieve smooth and warm compression effects. The GR meter shows the amount of gain reduction. Tube Compressor features an internal side-chain section that allows you to filter the trigger signal.
Limiter prevents the sound from exceeding the set output level. This can be used to avoid clipping in subsequent effects, for example.
Brickwall Limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set limit.
The Maximizer plug-in raises the loudness of audio material without the risk of clipping.
The Expander reduces the output level in relation to the input level for signals below the set threshold. This is useful to enhance the dynamic range or reduce the noise in quiet passages.
The Gate effect passes sound only to its output if the input sound exceeds the set threshold. Sounds below the threshold are silenced.
The Envelope Shaper effect can be used to attenuate or boost the gain of the attack and release phase of audio material.
The Spatial + Panner submenu contains the stereo panorama effects.
You can automate Groove Agent SE parameters from within the host application, and you can assign MIDI controllers to the Groove Agent SE parameters.
In the plug-in functions section, on the toolbar, and on the Options page, you can find global functions and settings for Groove Agent SE.
