From disco-influenced funk to more vintage styles with a shuffled approach, this collection pays homage to the greats like James Brown, George Clinton, and Sly Stone. Designed to make your music groove like never before, Funk Essence features a range of sounds from clean guitars to phased and crunchy tones, exploring many sub-genres and sub-styles of funk.

Funk Essence includes 12 funk styles, 84 guitar presets, and 84 strumming patterns playable with your own chord progressions. Whether you're composing for TV, creating sync music, or just laying down the foundation for a groovy track, Funk Essence is tailor-made to help you inject infectious rhythms and soulful vibes into your compositions. Ideal for adding that authentic funk flavor to any genre, Funk Essence invites you to explore sounds inspired by the pioneers and legends of funk.
