Steinberg has announced the release of Blues Essentials, the latest expansion set from a long list of premium VST Sound Instrument Sets.
Blues Essentials covers a wide selection of styles characteristic for the genre, providing a suitable rhythmical background for both contemporary and traditional blues music.
Compatible with the Acoustic Agent drum kits in Steinberg’s award-winning Groove Agent 4 drum software and the Groove Agent SE 4 plug-in available in Cubase Pro 8 and Cubase Artist 8, Blues Essentials consists of ten presets that each contain a Style for the Style Player and individual mixer settings. Each Style comes with intros, main grooves, fills and endings, which can seamlessly be varied in complexity and intensity.
