I was exploring the Edit RealDrums Help tutorial to see how this works. It recommends downloading the templates. Great! that would be helpful.

From the Help Making A RealDrums Style Using An Existing Template ...
Templates are available for download from https://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/support/patches/realdrums_stylemaking_templates.zip.

These are still dated 2006 and appear to be behind the workings of BIAB.

shows
;pattern,{pattern type},{weight},{mask},{length},{wavefile bar#}
should include {0-A-B},
;pattern,{pattern type},{0-A-B},{weight},{mask},{length},{wavefile bar#}

also no Shots examples

The PMMusic video RealDrums Stylemaking Part II (2014) on YT is more accurate.

A simple way to make a custom Real Style is to first manually load all of the RealTracks/RealDrums you wish to have into your song. This is done in the RealTracks Picker.

To open the RealTracks Picker, click on any track in your mixer window. Then in the menu go to Select RealTracks | Select RealTracks. Choose your RealTracks then click the Close button to load it into the Mixer. https://youtu.be/nbf9P496sy0

After you have loaded all of the RealTracks you wish to be in your custom Style into the Mixer, open the RealTracks Picker again. Inside of this window, there is a Save Style button. This will save the current Style with the RealTracks that are currently loaded in the Mixer.

this is a lovely answer Chantelle but for a different question.

This question is about Creating RealDrum styles

thank you for these lead(s)
I was fascinated to find a RealBand parallel site.
Definitely some of the info will be helpful,
however some of the info is also out of date.

@pipeline Yes, Sure, looking at examples is also an learning path thanks
But without knowing the formula to the secret sauce you are faced with a 220 row file full of repetitive lines.
With an accurate reference you at least have a puncher's chance.

"What does it all mean Basil

Quote:
pattern,Fill,A,1,0,1,34
pattern,Fill,A,1,0,1,36
pattern,Normal,A,8,2,8,2
pattern,Normal,A,8,2,8,10


and misleading when the reference is incorrect
shows
;pattern,{pattern type},{weight},{mask},{length},{wavefile bar#}
should include {0-A-B},
;pattern,{pattern type},{0-A-B},{weight},{mask},{length},{wavefile bar#}

pattern,Fill,A,1,0,1,34 ;there is a 1 bar A fill at bar 34
pattern,Fill,A,1,0,1,36 ;there is a 1 bar A fill at bar 36
pattern,Normal,A,8,2,8,2 ;there is 8 bars of A playing at bar 2
pattern,Normal,A,8,2,8,10 ;there is 8 bars of A playing at bar 10

Do you want to pattern out an existing drum track or just make a basic one up ?

You can even create an Instrument as a RealDrum:
Flute Classical Pop Soloist 12 Key Maj/m Scale 70-140bpm
So the Variations choice in the "RealDrum" are just the one of the Maj min keys to generate in. It will pick randomly out of the txt file the next bar to play so you are not getting the same phrase all the time, it will play one style in A and one in B. They have the same weight 5 and mask 0 to play anywhere.

thanks for the assistance and question here.
My intention was to twofold
1. learn about RealDrum configuration

* I think that I understand this now and how BIAB works with the A&B Drum array of Bars to generate tracks
* Along the way I learned that the download templates are out of date and reported here.

2. Create a stripped down RealDrum. Something quite basic, even as simple as the metronome but with a softened Real kick drum. Not Midi.
It might sound like POOf, poof, Poof, poof

* I can see how to do this now using RealBand as an Audio Editor and the Txt file to describe the array of Bars. I haven't done it though, yet.

Roy
(I will be posting another topic to ask about the Txt file to Pattern editor connection. I think it is best to have distinct thread for topics)
