Mash it up*

LoopMash is a revolutionary virtual
instrument that offers a unique
and innovative way of creatively
working with loops and beats to
create stunning new rhythms and
grooves. Seamlessly blendable
variations of both the included
loops and any loop from your
library open up a myriad of new
creative possibilities.

Its innovative audio analysis/ syn-
thesis engine, developed in collab-
oration with Yamaha, matches sim-
ilar elements across loops and
beats, generating fresh and inspir-
ing “mash-ups” from any rhythmic
audio material. By simply dragging
existing loops from MediaBay or
the Project Window onto Loop-
Mash, entirely new and unique
variations are created on the fly.

Drum sampling deluxe

Groove Agent ONE pairs power-
ful drum sampling with detailed
sound shaping. Not only does it
boast sliced loop and MPC-
import but rocks right out of the
box with its own custom library of
only the finest drum kits!

The ultra-tight integration into
Cubase 5 allows you to map
sliced Cubase audio parts or mul-
tiple audio events across the pads
by simply dragging them directly
to Groove Agent ONE. And con-
verting the beat to MIDI is just a
matter of dragging
back a MIDI file
containing the
groove from Groove
Agent ONE to the
Project Window!

construction plug-in that allows

ing drum patterns in an easy yet

of beats in various styles perfectly
matching the Groove Agent ONE
kits to get you going right away
— and so much control, ease of
use and functionality that you’ll
keep coming back.
