Instances in which MIDI drums "sound better" than RealDrums is in tango styles, and that's because the MIDI drum sound is not very powerful.

But really, tangos do not use drums!

So, this request is to see if the developers want to produce real-instrument Tango Styles that DO NOT use drums.

As said, with MIDI they are passable, but with Real Drums, they are a No!- No!.

By the way, I find the same problem in Yamaha tango styles.

I think the rhythm is by bass, low-notes piano, nylon guitars with hand muffling, and bandoneon (accordion like). Also, the rifs are often violin. Tango-Cancion (song tango) often has two variations and those are the ones sought.

There are not many instruments, mostly, so hopefully not too hard to make with real instruments. Piano could be MIDI, would say. Maybe violins too.

There are also Tango-Cancion using only nylon guitars as said, nothing else. Maybe even easier to make with Real Instruments, because MIDI can't seem to produce those sounds?

Thanks for considering this!

Hi

Here in Finland we always use drums playing tango. Our way to play it is different than tango in Argentina where its roots are. A finnish dance band plays walzes, foxes, polka etc and every now and then a few tangos and with a drum beat. Tango without drums is a more concert type way to play it.

I think that Norton Musics BIAB tango style is a better one than PG:s
