Simplified real styles and real tracks that would help musicians in the woodshed.
For example a bass player that ALWAYS plays the root on beat 1. or 1,5,1,5 on every measure of a 4 beat bar. A simple walking bass that always hits the 1 on the chord change I'm sure other ideas come to mind
Drummers that play very straight rhythms and grooves. Here's what a very bossa nova sounds like. Or shuffle
Keyboard that provide basic shell chords.
Something even simpler than checking the "simple" box A separate Genre of styles if you will.
These may not go into a performance arrangement but could be helpful to musicians trying to practice their craft.
A drummer trying to lock in with the bass player. A bass player trying to lock in with a drummer. A guitar player trying to play over the changes. Hearing the root every time the chord changes can be great help when learning to improvise a new tune.
Possibly some of these already exist. Finding them in the thousands of style and real track options can be difficult.
@mrgeeze I am tracking with your recommendation. Strip down styles to JAM with. Remove the decorations and fancy from Some Styles just for play along. I like the way you describe the objective. Have the instrument tracks each support the Jamming goal.
I've found a few some Metronome styles under the Utility category. They are quite a bit too narrow. I've also tried making my own styles. Lots of learning required, then labour intense. I stopped.
I'll follow this thread to see more comments/suggestion. RrR
If they don't get around to it you have UserTracks, I have made so many of these with RapidComposer. It will do any simple or complex instrument or drum pattern, you can also set it to use the Playable RealTracks/Drums sfz's. You can create custom phrases and they will automatically fit anywhere you drop them in the chord progression.
REALLY? Sounds more like cement shoes to me. Just use the midi functions. &/OR Create a loop of what you want from what exists. I suppose a pro session player would be happy to drop a dozen or so bars for the $$$.

You can use MIDI styles, and they will do what you want. There are thousands of styles that do this.
If they don;t, and you’ve tried several, you’d need to let us know what styles you’ve tried, and give an example where the bass isn’t hitting the root 100% of the time.
If you want to stick to RealTracks and realstyles, select the “simple” option. That’s a song setting, but if you want it applied to every song, set it in prefs- overrides to happen for every song. Then you can for example have the bass track be simple for every song. It might not be as simple as you want, but will be much simpler.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
