Thanks Jim,

Since making the original post I have been doing a lot of googling trying to solve the problem myself. The five tracks shown in the RealTracks picker are exactly as you have shown. I don't think there is a technical issue as suggested by the PG chat support guy. I probably didn't use the right jargon to describe the problem to him.

My current thinking is that the RealTrack sets only provide the instruments shown i.e. piano and guitar. The other instruments required for the style (accessed in the Style Picker) have to either exist or the ** N/A ** message is displayed on the track. In one of the new styles four out of five tracks were marked N/A. Obviously these styles don't sound great with all the missing instruments.

Possible solutions -
1) Purchase other RealTrack sets to supply the missing instruments. There are a total of 15 different missing instruments from my new #299 set. Providing these missing instruments would probably require the purchase of several other sets not to mention the time and possible errors involved in trying to figure out which sets to buy. The cost of doing this would not be much less than upgrading to the Ultra Pak which I understand contains ALL the Realtrack sets. This begs the question as to why PG Music are even selling these individual sets if they are incomplete.

2) Another solution is to replace the missing instruments with either existing RealTrack instruments or midi patches.

I have been trying to go down this second path but have run into problems. My Mega Pak version of Biab doesn't have enough suitable instruments for some of the new styles and I have also found using the style editor to be a real pain with frequent crashes.

3) The third and probably the most sensible solution is to upgrade to an Ultra Pack.

Any thoughts you have on these deliberations would be greatly appreciated.
