![]() The Sample Recorder appears as a tab in Beat Agent’s Instrument Edit page. The all-new integrated Sample Recorder enables internal and external audio signals - microphone inputs, hardware synths and drum machines, other virtual instruments in the host DAW, etc - to be directly captured to Groove Agent 5’s pads. ![]() Simply named The Kit, the new addition to Acoustic Agent is a 14GB massively multisampled drum kit, comprising Pearl Masters kick and Free Floating Brass snare drums, four Yamaha Maple Custom toms (8", 10", 12", 14") and an array of cymbals by Zildjian, Istanbul and Paiste, all recorded via a roster of top-notch mics at Teldex Studios in Berlin. Groove Agent 5 doesn’t add to the existing Acoustic, Percussion and Beat Agents - dedicated engines for acoustic drums and percussion, and electronic sounds, respectively - but it does throw in a ton of new content for the first and last. This aggregates the Kit, Instrument, Style and MIDI Load browsers in a single panel, detachable from the main UI, should you wish. Clicking the little button to the right of the Show Keyboard button pops the new Browser out to the right. Resplendent in a freshly darkened colour scheme, the Groove Agent 5 (VST/AU/AAX/standalone) interface is compatible with Retina and HiDPI displays, and freely resizable by dragging its edges or bottom right-hand corner. With that fundamental concept very briefly summarised, let’s see what’s new. Such issues should get fixed hopefully in the next few weeks and then future migrations should be hassle-free.In a nutshell, Groove Agent post v3 is a comprehensive solution for programming ‘acoustic’ and electronic beats, providing a familiar multilayered pad-based performance and pattern triggering interface (plus playable drum kit graphics), complete with deep MIDI editing, mixing and effects processing, and a capacious library of samples, patterns and Styles (grouped sets of MIDI patterns - intro, verse, chorus, fills, etc). Sorry to hear about your voucher issue, but glad it was fixed promptly. Good to know about the process in advance. Thank you for the detailed information, David. Now Groove Agent 5 and it SE companion are both available in Cubase 12.030 During the installation process it tells you that Groove Agent 5 will be updated, but no worries, it does not tamper with the full version (at least that is what I noticed). Reopened the download assistant and downloaded/installed GA 5 SE. However, still not able to load old songs, because Groove Agent SE was not found. Started Cubase et voila, dropped GA on a track and this time it was GA 5. My solution to get everything working as expected again:įirst I downloaded GA 5.1.10 (just the application file, not the content) via Steinberg’s download assistant and installed it. I also could load and play old songs, which were using the SE version. Then I’ve started Cubase 11 and saw that GA 5 was available just normally there. And when I’ve opened previous songs, which were using Groove Agent SE I received the error messsage, that something called Groove Agent SE was not found. When I dragged GA (that was shown in media/vst instruments) on a track, it was GA 4. I noticed that neither GA 5 nor GA 5 SE was available anymore. Just encountered the same issue after updating to Cubase 12.030. This is the sort of issue that will be shaken out by the WaveLab migration process. Steinberg issued me a WaveLab 11.1 Pro Educational voucher, so I have had to open a support case.Ĭlearly, there is a bug in Steinberg’s voucher system - it needs to recognise that version updated educational licences have become unrestricted retail licences. A paid version update removes the educational restriction. I subsequently paid to update to WaveLab 11 Pro. I was entitled to buy an educational version of WaveLab 10 Pro and did so. Unfortunately, my migration will not work. You do not get a perpetual validity Steinberg Licensing licence until the system knows you have marked your eLicenser licence as non-upgradeable. Though he doesn’t say so explicitly, the eLicenser step is mandatory when updating or migrating an eLicenser licence to Steinberg Licensing. The WaveLab 11 licence migration has gone live this morning - you can see how it works in Greg Ondo’s YouTube video explaining the process. Looks like it will take a few months then until GA5 (and others of course) gets migrated.
