Adding hip-hop oriented samples and grooves to the Beat Agent offers a versatility that lets Groove Agent 4 play one music style in a million and one ways.” Product marketing manager Matthias Quellmann said: “Prime Cuts is the perfect complement to the extraordinary sound library already available in Groove Agent 4. Groove Agent SE4 defaults to a blank preset (no kit, no patterns), but the ‘Beat Agent’ is activated. A lot of preset patterns are often quantized and they don’t feel very human-like so I keep the swing up in there and try to do things that are a little bit different from the norm.” Finding a suitable kit isn’t straightforward, as the browse-by-Agent page of Groove Agent 4 is missing in SE4, but here’s a quick way to find a kit that’s compatible with the Acoustic Agent. Producer of the Prime Cuts expansion set, Beat Butcha, commented: “With the new library I try to basically cater to the many sub-genres within hip hop as possible. Laid out in 30 drum kits, Prime Cuts provides sounds and patterns for the Beat Agent available in Groove Agent 4 and Groove Agent SE 4.
