HAMBURG, Germany — April 28, 2016 — Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH today announced the immediate availability of Nashville, the newest expansion pack in the widely acclaimed line of VST Sound Instrument Sets for Groove Agent 4 and Groove Agent SE.

Spanning over 7 GB of remarkable content, the Nashville drum kit boasts more than 8,000 samples that were recorded by Grammy-award-winning sound engineer Chad Carlson at the legendary Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
