Product Description
The first comprehensive source for keyboard grooves complete with transcriptions and tips on loop construction! Covers: dance, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, RandB and rock 'n' roll grooves. All loops are fully scored and fully compatible with all samplers and recording software. This book/CD pack can serve as a sample library or a style manual for keyboardists who want to learn new patterns. The CD is filled with keyboard grooves that can be sampled and looped in a groove and includes MIDI files that can be edited (as far as tempo and key), then used in songs, as play-along tracks, or as a learning tool for knowledge of voicing and style. Files are in .wav audio and MIDI format. The book includes sampling tips, notation for all grooves, and much more helpful info.

Totally Useless November 12, 2004

Not good for any of the intended purposes. Wavs containing the "grooves" are not original nor stimulating to hear. The midi file section is pure rubbish. Get some midi files from the internet and you'll get more feel. I bought this book hoping it will have some nice keyboard ideas on different styles for you to play, learn and use on your own music. It turned out to be a recording of cheese patterns using old fashioned keyboard sounds from the 80's, and with no information about music at all. Only if you are into creating music with programs like fruity loops or the like, only then you could get some benefit from this book. If you are a musician, there's nothing for you in here. Don't spend your money on this one.
On the other hand, the same author wrote an interesting one: "Funk Keyboards" also by MI press. Get that one, forget about this one.
