Hey Mario...I agree with Floyd about your use of the controller...I use controller keys a lot and it is a challenge to say the least to try to produce a realistic instrument reproduction on one...you do such a great job with that!...I'm no funk-master but I think you got there!

The humanization of midi through your controller is a huge plus...it makes all the difference.

fj Thanx so much Floyd. I can not take credit for that bass track as it is straight from the BiaB style. All I did was to select the bass patch. Hey Mario...I agree with Floyd about your use of the controller...I use controller keys a lot and it is a challenge to say the least to try to produce a realistic instrument reproduction on one...you do such a great job with that!...I'm no funk-master but I think you got there! Thanx for listening and commenting. I have been using MIDI and MIDI keyboard controllers since the mid 80's and I still struggle sometimes to get a VSTi to sound organic.

They were straight from the BiaB style and all I did was to select the sound patches. The humanization of midi through your controller is a huge plus...it makes all the difference. Thanx Ray. I call that being organic. I might not be playing the actual instrument but I am playing the emulation live and that makes a big difference, i.e. no quantization.

We've developed a renewed appreciation from your productions, Mario. Thanks for that. The realism of your tracks from the days of your wind controller to nowadays keys is amazing. We know everybody says that but it is a manifest fact. So there. Happy Holidays, J&B

Ah, my favorite soundsdcape artist. Cool funk, Mario. I listened before reading and wondered if you used the new horn stems from BiaB2023. Man, you really know how to build the sound of your projects in such an engaging way. From start to finish I loved it.

Great job, I especially like the flute

Man, you really know how to build the sound of your projects in such an engaging way. From start to finish I loved it. Thanx Marty. No I did not use the new horn stems. I prefer to work in MIDI so I can pick with horn(s) to use. I haven't even looked at those stems and I rarely use RTs and RDs in my music. I have used RTs and RDs in other people's music but Covid stopped people from coming over! Plus I not ready to start recording others anyway. Funky it is !
Great job, I especially like the flute Thanx so much Thumper.

Thanx Andi. Herbie Mann, a flutist, did a some funk songs and that is where I got the idea. However he is much better at playing than I am trying to emulate him. Mario,

Mr. MIDI strikes again with a funka-lishus offering! Wish I could do this, but it takes more skill than you admit to. I've tried, so I know that for a fact. Me and MIDI just don't hit it off. But you da King. I have to admit I look forward to your joke taglines as much as I do your songs. I'm sure they brighten everyone's day.

It's New Year's Eve and I'm listening to "New Year Funk"! It's a cool sound and I love the way you got all the parts to work together. That must have taken some careful work. Excellent tune.

Thanx so much. Not so much careful work but knowing what notes I wanted the rhythm section to play then actually playing them along with the song made it easy. Really swinging Mario!
A great listen.
Happy New Year!
Thanx David.
