01Overview

Groovemate ONE is designed for producers who have the bass, drums, chords and melodies in place but want more feel. Percussion adds the flavor that makes a pop track move, and this plugin gives you ready-made phrases to build on. You pick a style, adjust the pattern to fit your song, or play the included sounds yourself over MIDI. Its presets cover complex rhythmic ideas, such as 3-over-4 patterns and syncopation, that would otherwise take a percussionist to program by hand.

03In depth

Percussion Patterns for Popular Styles

Groovemate ONE includes 30 styles, available as combined styles and solo styles. Each one is a ready-made phrase you can select and adjust to suit your arrangement. The plugin focuses on the percussion layer that sits behind the beat, giving tracks the groove that is often missing when the core parts are finished.

The patterns are built to lock in with the rest of your session, so a phrase triggers in time with your project rather than floating against it. This makes the plugin a practical starting point when you want rhythmic movement without spending time programming each hit.

Sounds, Presets and MIDI Control

The plugin includes four sounds: shaker, claps, tambourine and a one-shot shaker. You can also play these sounds directly through MIDI input, which lets you add your own performance feel on top of the presets.

Groovemate ONE also ships with 9 mix presets and 4 ambience presets. Phrases can be moved into your DAW with MIDI drag and drop, so you can edit them in your sequencer after you have chosen a starting point.
