Forget it!

Robots don’t have a “[blues soul](https://www.americanbluesscene.com/2025/10/language-of-the-blues-how-the-blues-evolved-from-17th-century-slang-to-a-universal-language-of-emotion/)” so they cannot do funky, blues, or any other music that requires a “soul”

You can mock funky or blues music anyway, using a few simple tricks

The first one is the easiest: use Scaler to find any chord progression; yes “any” means that you can even use classical or chinese progressions, doesn’t matter; what matters is only the plugin driven by Scaler; in the past I used e.g. AAS Strum, now I use UJAM virtual Pianist Vibe

Here is one possible [result](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QE92Ii8XK-IUPvfmdqcQH76XBCUzxyW/view?usp=sharing) among the many possibilities

The second is using the most unusual rhythms in Scaler, for example 7/4 coupled with fast (speed at 1,5 or 2x) “t” quantifications (e.g. 1/16t), then experimenting all combinations, untill you listen some sort-of blues and funk

for example, try this  
[trap chords.xml](https://forum.scalermusic.com/uploads/short-url/mNPxoF9ywWKVEs0YqvseC8VxdUy.xml) (307 Bytes)

The problem is that suitable combinations are very little, and the resulting sound is not so enticing, for my ears at least: this is why I prefer using Scaler to drive dedicated plugins  
YMMV
