Tribute to a living Legend!
I have used this video http://guntrafficradio.com/post/86063965591/roger-linn-rogerlinn-linndrum-sae-sf made by guntrafficradio and built a track upon that short Mr Linn demonstration of his new product at SAE Institute in San Francisco. Roger Linn is the inventor of the 1st Digital Sample Based Drum Computer called the Linn LM1, only around 500 have been made & it changed history forever.
I have just released an accurate VST emulation of the LM1 and I have used it on this quick tribute. Musicaly Inspired by another Funky little Roger btw... :)

A picked up a few bits from some jams I recorded when designing my ClapTrap 2 plug-in.

Everything played by me, real drums, keyz, vocals and claptrap.
OB-Xtreme has been used on the "funky clav" sound at the end.

As always vintage sounding mix, raw as f... :)

A funny silly jam about slapping the wrong into the right...
"Rick James slapping b..tches was featured in this track"  :D
You will start to hear "My Luv is a nasty bi..tch" even though I am singing "My luv is a masterpiece" ahahah...

Drums are VProm VST + ClapTrap VST, keys are OB-Xtreme VST, direct input bass and guitar, all is raw and unmixed.

Another quick jam recorded using Claptrap 2.0.
I didn't cut all the fat of this originally 15min long jam so it keeps some extra WTF is going on vibe.

Typical uncut raw un-edited funk, Prince & P-funk like using +2semitone tape speed.
includes nasty double slap bass and fake horns (session horns), OB-Xtreme synth

G-Funk Demo

ClapTrap 2.0 VST - G-Funk Demo -

Once I heard that hilarious story from Sly's memoir book about him and George Clinton paying a drug dealer with an "allegedly" 2inch tape copy of is latest LP and finally revealed to George Clinton that he gave him an empty blank tape ahahaha... So I needed to make a skit and record this which also serves as a tribute to Sly as he is one of my many musical heroes :)

Everything played by Aly James.
The song takes from those Sly songs, in order :
- Thankful & Thoughtful
- Babies Making Babies
- Thank You for Talkin' to Me, Africa

Custom Lyrics:
Sunday morning... got no money left
I should've been happy, well I still be there
Cops could've come and taken us away
but the bag man felt I should pay him another way
That's why I gave him the
Blank tape, well well.. I gave him fresh tape.
thank you.. mf you got...fresh tape.

SY-4X Syncussion VST - PercoFusion

https://www.alyjameslab.com Live jam where I play real instruments (drums, bass, hammond B3) adding some typical low percussive "Boom" from the Syncussion MODE E on top

SY-4X Syncussion VST - Live Jam (Mode E Boom over Real instruments)

This track has been mixed and mastered without any modern dynamic compression (loudness war...)So turn up your volume and enjoy the dynamic and headroom!
So here we are VLINN version 2 (crossplatform and new features) is finally ready and will be launched in few days! So I have taken my funk back on and recorded this+ 6min Minneapolis type funk with the sound of the Purple Rain Era in mind :) and I have a very special guest for that, the legendary Doctor (Matthew) Fink (Prince keyboard player from early years to around 90!) who dropped a smoking Oberheim keyboard solo in the middle on the jam like he used too :D

Before someone ask again, this is basically me on everything you hear excepted Mr Fink keyboard solo performance.
Hope you like it and share it to death in order to keeeeepp thaaat funnnkkk alive !

Quick Funk Jam using (too much :) )the new "Global tuning" feature of the VLinn version 2.0 VST

VLINN VST LINN LM1 DRUMS V2.0 -- PitchBend Global tuning Funk

BTW, Vlinn has been renamed VProm.
Same track called "Drum Machine" but using a modern "heavy limited" mastering that I am not too crazy about...but hey! some people like loud stuff without turning the volume up, there is quite some dynamics lost but you can also hear anything even at low volumes or with ear buds.. :)
