Toontrack has announced the release of the Funk Foundations MIDI pack, a collection of grooves and fills inspired by classic and modern funk. This release marks the 130th title in Toontrack’s massive collection of drum MIDI packs for EZdrummer and Superior Drummer.
About the Funk Foundations MIDI pack.
Just like in everyday life, it’s often the offbeat moments between the notes that matter most – and grooves are no different. The perfect groove isn’t a paint-by-numbers exercise you’d map out on a grid; it’s something organic, evolving and adapting. And nowhere is that more true than in the very hotbed of groove itself: funk.
Born from the syncopation and cadence of jazz combined with the swagger of blues, funk has become the definition of groove. It has virtually transformed music history and in its wake given birth to several new genres like hip-hop and disco. In this MIDI pack, session drummer Bill Burns explores the vast archives of funk-related music from the trailblazing 1970s through to today. Get ready for a groove journey that encompasses all the traits of funk as we know them – the syncopated backbeats, the deep pockets, the gritty chops and constant push and pull.
If you’re looking for true groove, funk is where you’ll find it.
