The Sample Recorder Options page enables selection of bit depth, file format (WAV or AIFF), sample storage location, and even a variety of file naming schemes. Various methods of auto-mapping sequentially recorded samples are provided (all to one pad, chromatically, black or white notes only, etc), and the ability to start and stop recording via MIDI makes it easy to slice loops across contiguous pads using an appropriately configured MIDI clip, for example. Recording can be started and stopped manually or when the incoming signal exceeds and/or drops below specified volume threshold (with optional Pre/Post periods and automatic trimming) and other plugins and audio tracks are routed directly into Groove Agent 5 via the sidechain input. The Sample Recorder appears as a tab in Beat Agent’s Instrument Edit page. The all-new integrated Sample Recorder enables internal and external audio signals - microphone inputs, hardware synths and drum machines, other virtual instruments in the host DAW, etc - to be directly captured to Groove Agent 5’s pads.
