To me the strength and originality of Groove Agent is in the very easy but powerfull ability in less than a few minutes to get the basis for a song.
The very usefull random features allows you to jam and exercise, to improvise and also to make sketches and is a big help when writing music.
This is what I would like to see in Groove Agent 4:
-
Style/Genre
Extend the number of Styles and Genres -
Pattern/Fill/Intro/Ending
Extend the number of patterns and Fills within a Style/Genre
Add optional intros and endings -
Drummer
Add a “Choose Drummer” Option for each Style/Genre:
Let several drummers, as talented as Rasmus Kihlberg, play the same kind and number of patterns/Fills within each Style/Genre so we can choose between several drummers for the same style/Genre
Make this option consistent: the same number of patterns for each drummer within one Style/Genre with aproximatively the same complexity for each pattern would make the patterns interchangeable. -
User Library
Let the user add his own patterns, fills, intros and endings and the ability to create a user library. -
Jaming/Random features
Allow the random pattern/fill function to choose from a greater range of patterns/fills:
Mode a. adjacent patterns/fills as it is now
Mode b. extended patterns/fills range
Mode c. even more extended patterns/fills range
Mode d. all patterns/fills
Mode e. random mode (a to d) -
Fill control position
Add a random mode for the Fills Control position
