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.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
