If you look at the premade drumsets in groove agent most of them have this "off" for every drum and then set as 1 for all highhat sounds. But there should be a little drop down box on the samples side of the groove agent plugin.

I can't tell you what it's called because im about to board a plane and not near my computer. So if you put that setting in there having all highhat sounds on the same track shouldn't mud each other up at all. So say you put highhat open, closed, and pedal on all the same channel, this will program it so when a highhat open is hit, if the pedal or close one is hit it will automatically stop the sample being played for the open highhat (much like a real drummer working the highhat pedal).

In the samples for groove agent there is a place where you can activate sounds to be on the same "channel" where one sample will stop when another starts. Make sure highhat open, closed, and pedal are all on the same track. Then I go into the midi drum editor and select everything EXCEPT what that track is supposed to be (like the snare track I select everything except the snare) then I zoom out so I can see the whole midi and drop all the velocities to zero.ġ- duplicate your drum midi track to however many pieces you wanna break it down intoĢ- go into midi drum editor and drop all velocities except the drums for what you want on that trackĪlso remember certain sounds make more sense to put together. Many of the default key commands, also known as keyboard shortcuts, use modifier keys, some of which are different depending on the operating system. This unique instrument combines three specialist rhythm modules in one: craft dazzlingly authentic drum tracks, produce dancefloor-filling beats and design slinky percussive grooves with a dedicated Agent for each task combine up to four Agents for a. Then I go into each of the sub tracks I created just copying and pasting the master drum midi. Groove Agent 4 is the ultimate drum studio and virtual drumming instrument for producers and songwriters working in any modern musical style. I also go into groove agent and disable the panning of things I want to manually pan. If I want to get super detailed I'll make a track for each individual tom, etc. Then I just make however many duplicates (drum tracks I want) for example kick, snare, toms, highhat, cymbals. What I typically do is make a master midi track, get the velocities and stuff how I want them.
