Can some help me set up Dorico 5 so that it uses NP for all the sounds, but Groove Agent for drums only please?
- Start a new project including a drum set instrument.
- Apply the HSSE+HSO+GASE (Pro) playback template.
- In Play mode, select the drum set instrument so that you can see its settings in the Routing section of the Track Inspector panel.
- Click the cog button to open the Endpoint Setup dialog.
- Click the Save Endpoint Configuration button and give your new endpoint configuration a name â the default âGroove Agent SEâ will do. Click OK.
- Now go to Play > Playback Template again, and select the NotePerformer playback template.
- Click the Duplicate Playback Template button.
- In the Edit Playback Template dialog, change Name to something like NotePerformer+GASE.
- In the Entries box at the bottom left, click Add Manual and choose the Groove Agent SE endpoint configuration you saved in step 5.
- Select the Groove Agent SE entry in the Entries list and click the Move Up button so that the Groove Agent SE entry appears before NotePerformer in the list.
- Click OK.
Thatâs it: now you can apply your new NotePerformer+GASE playback template, and your drum set will be played back by Groove Agent SE while everything else will be played back by NotePerformer.

Thank you SO much!
This is excellent!
A post was merged into an existing topic: Need help setting up GASE with Noteperformer
My copy of Dorico doesnât show the HSSE+HSO+GASE (Pro) playback template. Could this be part of the problem?
Dear Cundare,
Daniel solved this problem in july 23, but since then HSSE has become HALion Sonic 7 (or something like that), so the playback templates have evolved tooâŚ
What you should be looking for now is HSO, HALion Sonic Sel., Olympus, GASE playback template, or whatever you see in this picture that has GASE in the name. Hope it helps 
Thanks, Marc. I see it on my machine, third one down!

hello everyone. unfortunately in my experience agent groove does not have the same features as the SE version in dorico pro 5.
what i canât do is: import drum patterns from agent groove 5 instead with version SE yes.
can you help me on this topic? because I havenât solved it and I havenât found any help.
Groove Agent is not included in Dorico SE.
It is only available in Dorico Elements or Pro.
look, the question is another.
Iâm not entirely sure what your question is, Marco but this page lists the differences between Groove Agent SE and the full version of Groove Agent.
"agent groove does not have the same features as the SE version in dorico pro 5. " I donât understand why I canât import grooves into Dorico when using the (pro version ) but when I use the SE version yes.
thank you
Marco, is your question how to drag patterns from Groove Agent into Dorico directly? I believe this should work the same way with both Groove Agent and Groove Agent SE. Click and drag the pad with the pattern you want to bring into Dorico, and drop it onto the drum editor in the Key Editor at the point at which you want the pattern to be imported.

Hi David, do you know why canât use agent groove 5 in dorico pro 5?
thanks, unfortunately if I transfer the patterns from agent groove 5 it works, while if I use agent groove 5 very strangely it doesnât.
I noticed that in the list in preferences, in the default play template item there is no way to select agent groove 5. On the contrary, agent groove 5 is. Is it the same for you too?
Dorico doesnât have any factory playback templates that include the full Groove Agent plug-in, because Dorico only comes with Groove Agent SE.
We have considered adding options to allow Dorico to automatically load the full Groove Agent instead of Groove Agent SE if it is available, but that is not currently provided by the program.

thanks. is that why i cant copy pattern from groove agent 5?
No, I donât think so. When I get a chance I will install the full Groove Agent plug-in and try it myself.
