F9 Audio are back with iFunk II featturing Robin Boult, a disco-oriented funky guitar collection of the highest order. Coming from Grammy Nominated James Wiltshire (formerly of the Freemasons) this collection delivers an unbeatable array of loops, tempo-sync'd menu instruments, and more - recorded and performed to the highest professional standards. There are 5 formats to choose from including sessions for Ableton, Logic, Cubase, WAV and everything together.
Here are the details
The best disco-orientated rhythm guitar parts make your feet itch, they play on the off-beat pulses and can elevate your track's heartbeat and groove until you simply can't keep still. In this pack you will find over 800 nuggets of funk that will do just that.
I'll be honest; wrapping up an F9 pack always brings a bit of anxiety about meeting our users' high expectations. But here, I'm proud to say we've nailed it. Drawing from everything we learned from the response to F9 iFunk Volume I, we've crafted an exceptional sample pack with streamlined navigation, usability, flexibility and of course - Gallons Of Funk.
F9 iFunk Volume II was a joy to work with while producing the audio demos and the additional track featured in the walkthrough video. Our production decisions turned out to be spot-on. No matter where i went musically for the demos, F9 iFunk II delivered inspiration, funk and energy.
This is F9 so we didnt stop there -
Once again, we have included all of the Stems, loops, Hits and Midi from the Audio demos you can hear in the soundcloud player above to every edition of this pack.
I've had the privilege of working with Robin Boult for years, and every time he leaves a session, I'm in awe - not only of his precision and intricacy, but of the inventive fills, accents, and micro-melody ideas he brings by the bucketload.
It was a key design point from the start. In F9 iFunk II, we packed in as many loops as possible that can straddle chord changes, making them suitable for countless productions. In this pack, we broke out the filters and Robin's effortlessly funky wah playing adds a whole new dimension, allowing us to offer an even larger selection of loops.
But that's only the beginning. With this release, we've achieved comprehensive tempo-locking across multiple software samplers, delivering a value-packed library that truly stands out for all DAW users.
Included in Every Edition :
All Editions Contain a Kontakt 6.7 (Onwards) Library
Our F9 menu instruments are one of the standout features in any F9 release. Each loop in the Kontakt instrument is tempo-locked to your DAW via Kontakt's Time Machine Pro engine, giving you incredible flexibility and precision. Loops are placed one per key of the MIDI keyboard, starting at C1, allowing you to trigger, test , experiement and arrange seamlessly.
Thanks to Kontakt's advanced time-stretching, these patches effortlessly track tempo changes in your project, as demonstrated in the second audio demo. Each loop is cut to start at the beginning of a bar, making it easy to find and use loops by simply moving the MIDI notes up or down in your midi regions.
We've also tapped into Kontakt's internal effects to deliver features like ping-pong delays, three impulse-response reverbs, chorus, phaser, and a fantastic EQ section inspired by a classic British desk equalizer. For added depth, the built-in feedback compressor emulates vintage hardware, letting you shape the patches with a touch of extra character and responsiveness.
* Please note, this protion will require a FULL install of Kontakt. This will not work correctly on the free Kontakt player.
All Editions Contain a Halion Sonic 7 Libary
We're expanding our support for HALion Sonic with this release. HALion Sonic is a powerful, free VST sampler compatible with all DAWs, supporting Audio Units, VST, and AAX formats.
You can download it **HERE**.
We're excited to announce that, like the Kontakt portion of this pack, all patches in the HALion Sonic library are tempo-locked to your project and track tempo changes in real-time. This level of tempo-locked functionality is rare at this price point and brings our infamous menu instruments to any DAW user.
As shown in the GUI above, we've integrated HALion Sonic's internal features, including an impressive phaser effect. You can hear it in action on the muted guitar in the first audio demo. We've also enabled the unison feature, accessible via GUI macros, to emulate double-tracking.
Tempo Locked Instruments for Logic / Ableton
All patches in the Logic and Ableton Editions are synced to project tempo using native samplers.
In Logic, we've enabled Flex Time on all instruments, while in Ableton, Drum Racks are packed with simpler instruments using pre-warped tempo-locked loop content. This setup brings unparalleled flexibility across the entire library.
To our knowledge, no other guitar pack at this price point offers this level of tempo-synced functionality!
