I have entered a couple of chords several days ago to find appropriate RealDrums for what I want. I have selected "RealDrums-Salsa^1-HiHat,Ride". So far I'm happy with them, but:
No matter what I enter, activate or deactivate regarding drum fills, there are drum fills in RealBand every four measures. In BIAB mostly there are some every four measures but sometimes they are also inbetween, even in two measures in a row.
It also doesn't matter, yes, I have tested that, if I do not not change the chord for more than eight measures.
Can anybody copy, or give insight if this is wanted or a problem within the software?
(Yes, I know, I can edit the track in RealBand, but anytime I change something and it regenerates the drums, I have to do that again. I don't like to repeat work unnecessarily, even if somebody says that it gives me practice.)
Are you looping several bars as in a very short chorus? If so BIAB will place a B section on the middle chorus which will evoke a fill. This can be turned off in preferences.
Copy a measure of non-fill drums to the clipboard.... delete the measures that have the fills you don't want and paste the non-fill measure in it's place.
Waaa Laaa.... easy fix.
I use this method the other way around. Placing fills or licks where I want them when they're not there to start with. Grab from another part of the song and copy/paste.
Works like a charm.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Will have to do that if everything else fails.
Edit: Eventually I will finish the song and redo the drums in Reaper. But I still would like to know the reason for this behavior.
As an experiment, what about placing a part marker but using the new feature to not play a fill? Would affirmatively telling BIAB to not play a fill be better that leaving it to chance?
I'll have to try this later ...

I have a similar problem in that I want to add fills and the only way I see to do it is to add part marker but then on the chord sheet it separates as a new "part" but all I really want is a fill on a particular measure?

You can change that behavior in display preferences so a new row is not invoked with a part marker.
The focus is on the drums in the moment not on the other instrumentation. I don't know which drums it loads on your side. I have changed the drums in the style to Salsa, in this case Salsa^1-Hihat, Ride
It might be that you need to visit the Stylemaker and change the weightings for the different drum patterns.
I know virtually nothing about this but I have seen posts from Peter Gannon where he has spoken about using Stylemaker to stop the occurrence of specific patterns. I'm reasonably sure that this would apply to Realdrums, too.
Maybe someone who has experience in this will jump into the thread.

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.

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."
