Fela Kuti is one of the African artists I love more, and I can say that without Scaler it would have been very difficult, if not impossible, made such a funky, syncopated, anarchical, and hypnotic stuff
It is not all made with it, for example I prefer EzBass for the bass, and drums are beyond Scaler possibilities, but the guitar and the Rhodes riffs come both from Scaler, and Scaler is an unbeatable source of inspiration when selecting chords
now while building a piano stuff with Scaler is easy, building a guitar strumming using it only is possible, and I was able indeed to compose some funk, blues, flamenco, krautrock, and rock parts with it, but the process of editing chords in the Section C is too complex to me
on the other hand, AAS Strum-GS has tons of amazing patterns ready to use, many of them in the funky style, but the output sounds too “mechanical” to my ears, so deadly boring, even for this musical style considered boring by many 
this is why I tried in the past to have Scaler driving AAS Strum-GS but I encountered a severe issue with this GUIs
The keyboard for strumming in AAS Strum-GS (but even in Ample Sound or the UJAM guitars) is too small (about 2,5 octaves), so it happens often that the more suitable Scaler’s expressions, as e.g. melodies, add notes to the main chord that hit the Stop button of AAS Strum-GS, or change the pattern abruptly, ruining the result
So I asked the forum and a couple of good guys suggested using MIDI Polysher that solved perfectly the issue
NOTE: I have built 2 MIDI Polysher presets; the 1st is showed in the picture and blocks all notes that can change the patterns or push the stop button, while the 2nd leave some freedom to change the patterns, and this can add more variability
there is no a fixed size for the free (white) part: all depends on the Scaler and AAS Strum-GS patterns selected, so everyone must find the right preset by trial and error
that said, here is the guitar part

and the rhodes part

the guitar in afrobeat vibes doesn’t do melodies, usually, so the subtle changes are all made by Scaler melodies driving AAS Strum-GS
the piano instead, while being generally rhythmical, plays some melodies sometimes and in certain songs, and I made them manually editing the midi
as you can see the blue-red circled piece is the original, and the red circled pieces are made essentially doubling the speed, then duplicating and moving, or splitting and putting together the small thrills made by Scaler
and here is the Rhodes MIDI modified

here you see the situation of Neutron Visual Mixer
where I recreated a typical layout of musicians in Fela Kuti’s shows
the brass section is quite poor due to the fact I don’t have all needed instruments, and I played the 3 sax manually, not using Scaler, even if I think that Scaler can do that better
If I’ll remake this section I’ll update this post
and here is the result
