The standout for me is Simon Stockhausen's COLLIDING WORLDS, which is only $20 during this sale. I spent a lot of time yesterday demoing all the GA expansions has free 30 day demos for. Each title found there loads up 24 patterns: 8 main, 8 fills, 4 intros, and 4 endings. I hope that Steinberg will come out with more percussion modules in the future, like African, Middle Eastern, Indian, The MIDI patterns can be found by clicking the folder icon on the right side, underneath the Agents. It's one of my favorite things about the program. But you can only get the percussion agent if you upgrade to the full program. You can buy a great highly multi-sampled drum kit (one of the main features of the full program) now for $40 with this sale. All of this recorded in automation, which results in a lot of lanes! You can also take one of your settings and save it on a pad. There is even a random button where it does a bit of that for you. So, for example, you can turn your shaker or bongos on and off, change the patterns or volume as the song is playing. You control the complexity and intensity of each instrument in your percussion kit separately. The percussion kit works like the acoustic style, but has more power. The other agents, except for the Percussion agent, use MIDI. This only works on the main acoustic drum set. Your DAW records all these movements as automation. So you can get very realistic results that respond in real time to your song. This is what they call "styles." One parameter is "Complexity," which makes the pattern more "complex" when you move it to the right volume is up and down. But again, they are sounds and MIDI patterns, not styles.įor those of you who use Groove Agent, you know that it allows you to control the main pattern of the acoustic drums with an XY pad. On the basis of quantity of patterns, the Beat Expansions compare very well to the kinds of expansions you get from Toontrack and Addictive Drums. They offer as many styes as two Styles expansions ($25) and for $5 more you get a drum set. It only has 14 styles, though.Īside from those two, IMHO the best deals in this offer are the Metro Heights, Nashville, and Songwriter's Acoustic Expansions. If you like brushes, you have to hear the demos. To my ears, the Simon Phillips Jazz expansion sounds the best, both in the playing and the sound of the kit. They let you do something beyond any other drum program I'm aware of.
