Steinberg releases Metro Heights for Groove Agent

Steinberg has announced the immediate availability of Metro Heights, the latest expansion set for Groove Agent.

Consisting of 12 drum kits that contain more than 17,400 samples, the exclusive Styles in Metro Heights cover a variety of percussive patterns that capture the energetic feel associated with the indie rock moniker.

Available for the Acoustic Agent drum kits of Steinberg's Groove Agent 4 drum software and the Groove Agent SE 4 plug-in included in latest versions of Cubase, Metro Heights also includes a variety of intros, main grooves, fills and endings that cover different tempos and time signatures.

Senior Marketing Manager Florian Haack commented: "Metro Heights is another addition to the Groove Agent library and this time we focused on the indie rock genre using a vintage '60s Slingerland drum kit. And I can tell you it made all the difference."
