Steinberg has announced the release of Beat Essentials, a VST Sound Instrument Set for the Groove Agent drum instrument.
Beat Essentials features new Styles that emphasize four-four grooves and perfectly capture the driving rhythm of beat music originating from the Great Britain of the 1960s.
Available for the Acoustic Agent drum kits of Steinberg’s award-winning Groove Agent 4 drum software and the Groove Agent SE 4 plug-in included in latest versions of Cubase, Beat Essentials boasts ten Styles with different tempi and time signatures, and consists of a wide selection of intros, main grooves, fills and endings.
Matthias Quellmann, Senior Marketing Manager at Steinberg, commented: “Beat Essentials delivers what the name promises: ready-to-use grooves with focus on British beat music that should be part of every library collection.”
