This instrument stands out by providing a natural feel and dynamic groove that enhances contemporary productions with genuine funk character.

At the core of Scarbee Funk Guitarist lies an intuitive phrase system that enables seamless blending of various guitar grooves and chord types via MIDI input. This allows for fluid harmonic progressions and true-to-life funk phrasing, supported by an integrated groove sequencer that ensures a consistent and natural rhythmic flow. The instrument automatically triggers realistic articulations such as up and down strokes, mutes, hammer-ons, and slides, powered by an intelligent scripting engine that captures the nuances of live guitar performance.

Developed by Thomas Scarbee alongside guitarist Soren Reiff and scripting expert Nils Liberg, the instrument features over 130,000 individual chord samples recorded from a specially modified guitar with multiple pickup positions. Its advanced customization options include a graphical groove editor, an integrated play-along bass, a chord finder, and automatic chord recognition via MIDI. Additionally, a comprehensive multi-effects section with eight tailored effects and numerous presets offers a wide palette of classic and modern funk guitar tones to fit any musical context.
