I'm looking for a bass style that is similar to Bob Marley's I shot the Sheriff. I would do it with real tracks, but PG Music really lacks reggae styles.

Hi Islansoul,

well, I found the Reggae among all styles of about 22 items from PG Music. This song is closest to the style of the set "Xtra PAK" from months of 2016/09

That's where RapidComposer make it easy, you can enter any tab or drag a midi bass pattern from a midi file into RapidComposer convert it to Relative form, Save it to the custom phrases library.
Open a UserTrack Template in Biab, in Prefs set Chord Output, save as midi,
in RapidComposer Import the midi file and select the BB Chord Output track.
This will give you the same UserTrack Chord track in RapidComposer.
Now just insert a new track load your Virtual Bass vst,
now just drag the save Reggae Bass phrases from your custom library into the new track and they will snap to chord/scale.
Now save the track to wav and put it in the usertrack folder along with the SGU with same progression and tempo.
You can then change the Key in RapidComposer and save as wav along with the SGU you just change the Key of in Biab to match.
Now you will have a Bob Marley Bass UserTrack in a lot of different Keys, you can save it in 12 keys if you like and in the F5 > UserTracks Development window you can set what part gets played where, if you do that with the first key template it will have the same settings in the other keys, so if you start in A, set the settings in the SGU in Biab then when you change the key of the template it will keep the UserTrack Development settings for each key SGU.

This is a quickly made up track in A, it will give you an idea.
It has the midi file with it so you can edit it, give it some more variations and save it to more keys. Look in the Bar Settings > UserTrack Development Settings.
Anyway play around with it as it might give you some ideas of what you can do.
There is suppose to be a Don't Transpose UserTracks setting they are adding to BB/RB so it don't overtranspose the tracks anymore.
