Steinberg has announced the release of Rock Essentials, a new drum expansion pack featuring classic rock grooves for Groove Agent 4 and Groove Agent SE 4.

Rock Essentials consists of exclusively recorded Styles that cover a rock music variety stretching from slow pop-rock ballads to aggressive hard-rock drum rhythms.

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, Rock Essentials features ten Styles consisting of a wide selection of intros, main grooves, fills and endings while spanning different tempos and rhythms that can instantly be played on the pattern pads in Groove Agent.

Matthias Quellmann, Senior Marketing Manager at Steinberg, commented: “Adding Rock Essentials to our premium range of VST Sound Instrument Sets was an obligation. This expansion is an indispensable complement to the existing Groove Agent library.”
