What are the scales used by koan sound in their songs? I have no idea of which scales and progressions they use to make their melodies/drops sound so funky and catchy.
its all about the patterns plus the interaction with the drums listen to it and try to figure out when its useful to play a 1/16 and when they hold the note long just to go to play the scale down or up fast

Funk is rhythm, not scales.

Im fairly new brah, but this shit is getting ridiculous this is 4th post ive seen trying to recreate sounds of other producers. I can see why the seniors started to hate DSF (or at least the people that have been joining)

I just wanted to know which scales they use in order to get new ideas for my future productions, i never wanted to copy/imitate their own sounds. (:

Why not just sample old funk and soul records?
