With a high-quality drum kit playback device for your Dorico projects, Groove Agent SE offers over 400 MIDI drum patterns performed by top studio drummers and mixed by Steinberg's expert engineers.

Save time and effort with Dorico 5's new MIDI trigger regions, designed for composers and producers who want realistic playback without fully notating their music. These trigger regions play a note or chord that isn't in the score for a specified duration, making it particularly useful for triggering MIDI patterns in plug-ins like Groove Agent SE or other pattern-based instruments such as TGuitar. Provide your musicians with the structure, rhythmic cues, and chord symbols they need, then let pattern-based plug-ins handle the rest for an efficient and realistic playback experience.
