Expansion – Amplified Funk

Amplified Funk is a groove-focused expansion pack from Native Instruments, built for producers who want authentic funk and soul textures in their tracks. Compiled by funk and soul specialist Amp Fiddler at his Camp Amp studio, it delivers a rich collection of live samples including guitar and bass licks, chords, vintage keys, synths, pianos, percussion, and vocals. The sessions feature guitarist Chris Bruce, Funkadelic’s Andre “Fox” Williams, and percussionist Larry Fratangelo, alongside vintage drums, a Roland Jupiter-6, a Moog Memorymoog, and a baby grand piano. For a modern edge, Amp also crafted custom sounds using MASSIVE and MASCHINE drum synths. You get 48 MASCHINE and 57 BATTERY kits packed with exclusive samples, plus 83 MASSIVE presets that bring contemporary funk flavor. It suits beatmakers and electronic producers working in funk, soul, hip-hop, and house who want legendary live feel combined with modern sound design.
