MIDI just doesn't quite cut it when trying to emulate, for example, slap bass. So, in the words of Parliament, "Weeeee want the funk! Give up the funk! Ah, weee need the funk! Gotta have that funk!"

The ones available right now are too straight. I`d like to see some realy syncopated ones, as Funk is usually played. Like the snare on 2, 4th 16th of 2, and 4. Bassdrum on 1, 4th 16th of 1, and 2+. Listen to some old New Orleans kinda Funk like: "The Meters" "Funk Inc."
