Is possible to use BIB as simple Strum Machine with simple guitar rhythm (boom chuck)?
Like the site/app called Strum Machine (strummachine.com). It provides automatic backing guitar rhythm (boom chuck) using recorded samples, in any key with adjustable tempo.
I.e. is there a simple "Style" I can use in BIB for that?
All styles I listen to are very sofisticated.
I only want a simple guitar strum (boom chuck) nothing else.
I have the UltraPak and most extra and 49 paks.

For Realtracks: open the RealTracks Picker Dialog
Search for Guitar Boom
This provides results for BoomChick guitars
There is a Simpler Available Column, look for S to be listed. S means there's a simpler version available.
Choose and select a strumming guitar from the list that also has a simpler version available.
In the upper right section of the RealTracks Picker Dialog, Check the box "Simpler" and generate the track.
This should work with any Style that lists the Simpler Available option.

Here what I do. I use the style called Blank, which has no tracks pre loaded on it at all, then I go to my real track folder and pick the track I want and create the song from there. I use this "style" a lot when I want to use the real tracks are just blanket tracks like strum guitar, acoustic bass bowed held, acoustic bass held, piano held chords, or anything else that doesn't really tie to a specific style. I do wish more blanket or generic real tracks where made for just adding color to a song.
