The idiot is playing what you tell it. If you want a IV7, I which is what you wrote use midi and a good sound module like a Ketron SD2 or the XP compatible Dxi synth and have at it.

Input the chords the way you want and stay away from RealBass tracks, where the idiot has a brain cell or two.

Learn how to take a track and move it so it's static and have the bass in the soloist part so you have control over every note.

Also turn off chord embellishment if it's on.

And learn to audition styles and how to narrow them down.

BTW I was playing that stuff before you wore diapers so the condescending I'm 40 doesn't crack it with me, and you have no idea what musical background I have or don't have. Have I met your sister? Is she way older than you and hung out at Rochdale College in Toronto in '66 playing the 12 string?

I and V as a static bass line with the IV7 before resolution would be basso ostenati. The latter word seems to have more than one application here. Take 5 may have had more of a meaning than some think, so we can look beyond Pachbell and move onwards and upwards...to the Beatles even....
