■THE KIT: Acoustic Drum Kit
Groove Agent now includes a new acoustic drum kit. It features a Pearl kick and snare, a Yamaha Maple Custom tom, four Zildjian crashes, an Istanbul ride, and a Paiste splash. All recorded at Teldex Studios in Berlin using high-end Neumann microphones, outboard gear, and reverb chambers.
The high-quality samples in 'The Kit' feature 47 articulations, five round robins, and up to 20 velocities. They have a stunning sound that will stand out in any mix.

■30+ Electro Kits
New kits from electro artists like Rawtekk, Audeka, zKlang, and Joe Ford, as well as emerging producers. It includes not only beat patterns, but also bass and melody fragments, hits, and noises. Furthermore, in version 5, Beat Agent now also features the same style player as Acoustic Agent.

■New Styles for Songwriters
The Kit includes 20 new MIDI styles. Featuring a wide variety of intros, outros, fills, and tempos, they cover a wide range of genres, from rock, prog, blues-rock, alternative, indie, funk, crossover, and reggae. All of these styles are performed by top drummers and mixed specifically for The Kit.

■Sound Design with DECOMPOSE
A sound designer's dream come true. Decompose lets you easily separate loaded samples into their ""tone"" and ""noise"" components. Once separated, simply drag and drop each section onto Groove Agent's pads, and the possibilities are endless. For example, imagine the sounds you'd create by mixing an 808 kick tone with 909 noise, or an electro-snare with live hi-hat noise.

■ Bring new life to your samples with pitch alteration
Create exciting drum sounds by altering the pitch envelope of your samples. This is especially useful for creating EDM drops and buildups, or adjusting the pitch of recorded drums. When combined with the Decompose function, you can modulate the pitch of the drum tone and noise components separately, allowing for a new approach to drum sound construction.
