And for JJJ.... Here is a track I put together - just for you  .... Thanks Floyd! Both for the description of the patterns and for your cool examples! I went ahead and spent the $19 based on your recommendation (and because it was cheap of course!) My first impression of the download, install and activation process is extremely bad! What an awful, convoluted system they use. It took me a long time and a lot of tries to get this downloaded and activated. Lots of confusing instructions with PB referring to things one way and Ujam another. I was minutes away from canceling and demanding my $19 back! BUT, once I finally got the product downloaded and activated I am impressed with my first look. I loaded it into my DAW and was able to play around with it a bit and def see lots of potential here. Again, the $19 is key as, if it were full price I'd stick with my NI Session stuff. But for that price I am happy to have added it to my toolbox! Thank you!! Yes, that order and install process is wonky. At first. I did not describe it because I did not know how... I bounced around the UJAM site and the UJAM app and PIB for a while before I "got it". Once you've done it a couple of times it is actually pretty slick - the download and install was a one step process.

Hey Floyd, I am totally loving this little $19 gem!!! I spent about a half hour with it without reading the manual or watching how-to vids and I already came up with a pretty cool acoustic track!
You really should make a post about this to separate it from Dr. Dan's so it gets more attention. This really is a no brainer!
Thanks again!! See! I told ya! It is Easy and Fun. And seems immediately useful. I don't get that from a lot of software. I also really like the Session Guitarists. But trying to walk through styles to find what you want takes a Long time. Somewhat annoying. I think if anyone follows my instructions (a few posts back) on how to use the interface (keys) and walk through the styles and/or the presets...they will know the products quickly - and as you say - you don't even need a manual (I figured it out simply by playing around...) I considered another post. But then I might feel responsible. And who wants to have to explain that download process? And... Most of "us" here are of the I-want-to-record-in-a-million-dollar-studio gang. (we are old) BIAB - is that. Studio guys. Laying tracks. Like a million dollar studio (with the million dollar players). These tools are more for the I-got-a-computer-why -would-I-need-a-studio? crowd. So the few (in these forums) who have embraced this style of production will read this because they probably already have a Session Guitarist (NI) and would be curious about the new one.... I've now got Silk2, Amber 2, Sparkle 2, Iron 2, Rowdy 2. (all for less than $20). I would Love to try one of the other bass apps (Rowdy is a Very busy bass, Not my style) And at least one of the drummers. The fact that they all seem to run on the same simple interface is a real plus. Know one, you know them all. At the moment, they seem to have gotten aggressive about sales. Hopefully that will continue.

I can only find the standard price. I can no longer find wherever I found that. In the Store when I was logged in to the UJAM site, I think. At the time the Silk upgrade (in my account) was $14. That is now $29. And I don't see others now. So they are changing things fast.

And I don't see others now. So they are changing things fast. Prices did just jump overnight. I had to go over to pluginboutique for the $19 upgrade versus UJAM's $14 offer last night You snooze you lose!

not today... for me its $129.00 The discount requires a code - AMBER19. The newsletter said it was good through June 1. You have to go through the checkout process. The code gets entered about the 3rd screen (at the top) - before you actually click the final "buy"

Could be because it is a Newsletter offer. The newsletter contains a button. Could be that somehow affects the discount. You might try signing up for the newsletter and see if they send you the current one...

Yeah the IRON19 discount code does not currently give the $19 price. Probably because the Plugin Boutique price yesterday was 50% off but today it is no discount. Still a nice price but I passed on principle!

I bought all these years ago, NI, UJAM and MusicLab and they take up so much hard drive space. Hopefully we will see this soon with PG here. They are normally $129US that is $222AU for me how the dollar is now, that is ridiculous. I went into all this with Here's Your Live Arranger I could do it all right now with Reaper, I just set a certain midi chord input to play that chord section of the RealTrack source file, round robin to play the same chord but a different section each time. There's your $100USD virtual instrument X how many RealTracks you have: file1 = "E:|\bb\\RealTracks\\Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120\\AG1141.wma"
wma_source1 = reaper.PCM_Source_CreateFromFile(file1)
track1 = reaper.CF_CreatePreview(wma_source1)
reaper.CF_Preview_SetValue(track1, "D_VOLUME", 1)
reaper.CF_Preview_SetValue(track1, "D_POSITION", 4)
reaper.CF_Preview_SetValue(track1, "D_PITCH", 2)
reaper.CF_Preview_SetValue(track1, "D_PLAYRATE", 1)
reaper.CF_Preview_SetValue(track1, "B_PPITCH", 1)
reaper.CF_Preview_Play(track1)
retval, current_pos = reaper.CF_Preview_GetValue(track1, "D_POSITION") This is where you also need to record on the same guitar, same levels but different patterns/styles so it will match tone when changing to another pattern during a song, if they are Direct Input, you can use the same FX on them.

I just got it and I noticed that it has a special feature built in for Studio One Pro users.
"With the new VG AMBER 2, we provide Studio One users running on
version 4.6.2 or later with an exclusive PreSonus chord track and Sound
Variation feature.
Descriptions of styles and key switches are displayed on the piano roll to
help you find the right styles and phrases faster and easier for your track.
The Sound Variations are highlighted in red on the piano roll.
The chord track feature in Studio One automatically follows the chords
and automatically changes the MIDI notes for you. Use the “Follow
Chords” toggle underneath the right keyboard on the user interface. We
recommend not setting a song key when using the feature."
There is more on this in the manual but this is a nice feature for anyone using Studio One Pro

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
