I was making a demo video with RealTrack edits so I dragged just a few random picked Ev 120 Drums and RealTracks tracks in and it had a great sound.
If it don't sound good then you could click on the track that don't fit and randomly insert another.

I guess there might be some sort of filter in place to limit what might be able to be selected, e.g. must match time-signature etc.
Anyway, why not? It could get interesting. +1

+1
That is how I do it, I try not to aim for something specific, just explore and see what feels good at the time. I do not care if one part is Country and another is Hard Rock. If it works, it works. I guess, in one way it is a "lazy man" feature, on other hand it might create unexpected and wonderful results.

All the current styles are made by PG but having a random choice gives the God input for creating up a unique style that can the be then saved.

I'll go the other direction here with a -1. I feel we don't need more trivial features gumming up the works.
If you want a random selection just use any online random number generator and then use that number to find your random style!

I'm presuming this is a Style 'Creator' that selects tracks randomly and creates the style. If so, that is quite different from a random style selector mentioned in the other post.

I can read the RealTracks list from txt file and filter Ev 120 but then there's no menu access to the Tracks as there is no Tracks menu so it can only be done with a mouse click, then you can't enter the random RT number in the RealTrack Picker like you can in the Melody Picker. So I can't script it otherwise it would be done by now and uploaded as an add-on script feature.

I'm presuming this is a Style 'Creator' that selects tracks randomly and creates the style. If so, that is quite different from a random style selector mentioned in the other post. True, but not so different. And the motives for automating / randomizing might be similar. You could think of random style selector as random track assembler filtered by "all tracks are from the same style". I can imagine a UI where a checkbox controls whether you're randomizing your "working style" track by track, or all at once. You might want to rando the whole style at first, for a starting point, then certain tracks within. I can actually imagine wanting to do this.

If there is such a tool, why not letting the user decide how experimental he wants to be. So +1 for the combined suggestion from Pipeline & Mark

I can get the Random Style working fine as I can access the Style Picker, but it needs the Track menus and the same search option in the RealTracks/Drums Pickers, if they get around to those it will all come together.

A Look Back... Band-in-a-Box® 2015 NAMM Demonstration #TBT
Watch Tobin (and Charlie!) demonstrate Band-in-a-Box® 2015 for Windows at the 2015 NAMM Show: Play video...
Tobin does a great job of showing just how easy it is to create a song with Band-in-a-Box!
This video was posted on January 23, 2015 to the Keyboard Instrument Chops and Gear YouTube Channel.
Enhance Your Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Installation
Ordering Your Band-in-a-Box® is Easy!
When you order any PG Music products directly from www.pgmusic.com (or www.bandinabox.com) you'll receive immediate links to start downloading your order! Even if you choose to have a backup copy of your Band-in-a-Box® packages shipped, you'll still have the download links available to you - no need to wait!
We've made it even easier to get started with Band-in-a-Box® with the Easy Payment Plan 4 - when you choose this payment option you'll pay four equal monthly payments starting on the day of your order.
Choose your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows package & order here.
Using Mac? Order here.
When you get to the checkout, simply click on Select Easy Payment Plan 4 for this product to apply this option.
Note: This only applies to this Band-in-a-Box product, and does not apply to other products that you might have in your order, including the physical backup copy if selected.
Band-in-a-Box® File Associations
You may have noticed when you were installing Band-in-a-Box® for Windows that you were asked if you would like to Associate Band-in-a-Box songs and styles with Band-in-a-Box? But, what does that mean?
It's actually pretty simple - basically, if you select this option while you're installing the program, files with the extensions .SGU, .MGU, and other Band-in-a-Box files will open directly in the program if you select them from outside the program.
Missed this option during your setup, but you'd like to apply it now? Go to File | File Utilities | Associate File types with Explorer within the program.

Ear Training Games in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
October 1, 2021 is National Kids Music Day!
Head to the Practice Window in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows, and you'll see fun games that are fun ear training options for kids: Music Replay & Pitch Invasion.
Of course, you don't have to be a kid to like these games, I think there a fun way to learn at any age!
Music Replay is just what it sounds like - the program plays a 1-bar melody, and the user plays it back. Get it right, and you'll keep building that melody (and skill) within the game - get it wrong, and you'll be met with a warning tone and have to try again... it's quite addictive, and a lot of fun!
If you like a classic arcade game, then you'll love Pitch Invasion! We've managed to incorporate aliens with pitch-recognition skills in this exciting game, where you'll match the pitch of the alien ship descending towards your planet trying to destroy your collection of instruments - match the pitch and you've saved your instruments, make a mistake and the ship keeps coming... you'll have a few tries to get it right, if you're quick, but if all your instruments are destroyed - it's game over! The game speeds up as your skills improve, and you'll earn points along the way, with bonus points available throughout the game.
Open up your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows today to give it a try!
These ear training games are also included in Musical Arcade for Windows.
