Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 3.5 of 5

Pros

Instant, usable beats. Broad range of styles and sounds on offer. You can use two Agents simultaneously.

Cons

Patchy MIDI implementation. Works best in a VST host. Special Agent module lacks basic mixing options.

The bottom line

Groove Agent offers great drums and percussion on tap and, thanks to the two new Agents, sounds better than ever. Cubase and Nuendo users will get the best from it, however.
