Steinberg has announced the release of Funk Essentials, a new VST Sound Instrument Sets expansion for Groove Agent 4 and Groove Agent 4 SE.
Funk Essentials comprises major funk styles of complex grooves, abiding rhythmical precision while grasping aesthetic musicality that reminds of archetypal elements appreciated in many funk hits.
