Hi all,
I've finally finished my first original tune in quite some time, originally inspired after purchasing Kontakt 5 during the last Christmas sale - hence the title.   
 
Drums, bass, horns, organ and clav are all from an instance of Kontakt, the vocoder is Reaktor through the free TAL VST, and finally a little guitar (TH2 Producer) added for good measure.

Funky as a spunky monkey Steve :)
Good stuff

Thanks, Daryl!
 
Now I'm going to have to use Spunky Monkey in something...   
 

Hey Steve. Enjoyed That! "and finally a little guitar (TH2 Producer) added for good measure"...That was an understatement. Was that some backwards guitar in there? Anyway nice stuff Steve. Thanks for sharing it.   Jim

Thanks, James!   The guitar parts were added last since the tune still needed a little something, so I guess that's my "little something".  
 
And yes, that guitar part towards the end was the old "record the reverb from the part played backwards and then play that recording forwards" technique.   It kind of gives it a bit of that "poltergeist" effect.
 

Funky indeed! I liked it a lot.

Thanks, Wayne!
 
It was fun to do, and it gave me the opportunity to start the learning process with Kontakt.  I figured a single stereo instance would force me to see what's in the box.  
 

Yeah, that's my bag! cool cucumber funk. Nice solo too :)

Thanks Gus! 
 
It's good to know the cucumber effect is working... sometimes I like my funk with a side of Ranch dressing.  
 

Yowsa! Loved it (a lot)! It was all fine, cool and dandy but I was thinking it needed sumpin sumpin and the guitar kicked in. 
 
Very cool stevec!
 
Regards,
