All drum kits have been recorded in 24-bit resolution while the Acoustic and Percussion Agents also offer 16-bit versions on top. The entire library encompasses over 22,000 samples and more than 3,800 grooves. With more than 20 styles the Percussion Agents covers grooves ranging from disco, funk, pop and R&B to classic percussive standards, such as bolero and bossa nova. Its Style Player combines up to 8 substyles and adjusts the complexity and intensity of each instrument. The Percussion Agent includes percussion instruments the likes of bongos, shakers, tambourine and congas. The Vintage and Turntable modes add the sound perceived in early 12-bit drum machines. The Drum Classifier detects the different kit components in a loop and allows users to extract, replace and rearrange them. The Beat Agent gets down to intricate beat production, boasting over 100 kits quickly accessible via the MediaBay and the Sample Browser as well as a broad scope of editing capabilities available through the Sample Editor. Once selected, Groove Agent 4 offers a groove with intros, fills and endings and up to 16 variations of the main part that can seamlessly be blended by complexity and intensity. The Style Player provides over 50 contemporary styles to choose from.

Armed with a dedicated channel strip sporting EQ, compressor, tape saturation and envelope shaper, the acoustic drum mixer comes with up to 20 microphone channels, six group channels and four aux buses. Each kit includes dedicated controls that adjust the mix of room and overhead microphones, bleeding signals as well as further kit tuning. The Acoustic Agent consists of three drum kits: Studio Kit, Rock Kit and Vintage Kit. Each Agent offers a set of specialized tools essential to the style of drum production in demand, but Agents can also be combined, giving Groove Agent 4 its unique multi-Agent architecture. Groove Agent 4 features three drum modules, also known as Agents, which trigger a wealth of grooves and samples. Steinberg Media Technologies has announced the release of Groove Agent 4, a major new version of the drum workstation that comprises different drum modules each specialized in certain acoustic and electronic drum styles.
