Funk Guitar Sounds and Strumming Patterns

The sound bank contains 84 guitar sounds built around choppy 16th-note riffs, tight muted stabs and rhythmic chord progressions. Chorus, spring reverb and wah-wah are part of the sound palette, giving the presets the character associated with funk recordings from the 1960s and 1970s.

The collection also includes 12 styles that provide 84 strumming patterns. According to the developer, these patterns are meant to turn extended chords into groove-based parts.
