Break/tacet has been requested, not yet implemented.
An easy work around you can try:
*insert an A-B switch or tuner pedal (with a mute function) in the output line to briefly silence iRp's audio with the tap of your foot.

Breaks would be nice.
There have been other requests for a tacet that would silence all instruments from chord chart playback; I found a thread about this topic from 2011. From my point of view, the ability to force a beat-by-beat tacet (similar to the beat-by-beat NC symbol) is the most pressing omission that needs to be implemented in iRP. I've never understood why this feature hasn't already been included in an update and hope that the developers will satisfy this request.
Agree! Pauses in music are very important.
Actually, it would be great if there were two kinds of tacets. One simply produces silence; the other would produce a rim shot on the beat with silence from the other instruments.
Is there a way with I-Real Pro you can have a tune with complete stops for a bar or partial bar including drums? How would you do this when creating a song from scratch?
I mean a break of silence then drums resuming. Eg like Cannonball Adderleys 'Worksong'...??

I am not familiar with how a pedal setup works or the A-B switch? Can you direct to instructions on how these may work.
Alot of songs have break mainly in the head so would be great to be able to have that. I have used I Real Pro publicly and it sounds good. Hence my digging deeper in how to use it for arrangements.
Guitarists often connect their instrument to their amp(s) through a tuner pedal or an A-B device (to switch their guitar between two amps). Either could be used to momentarily interrupt the audio signal from your player to your amp.Quote:

This would be a great addition to the software as many pop tunes do not have drums all the way through.
Yes,indeed.Quote:

How do I get the drums to stop in a section of the song then start again?
There is a big request to add a feature for record of pauses and a rhythm in the program
It shouldn't be that difficult to implement.
The same way there is an "END" marker, other markers could be added such as drums in, drums out, bass in, bass out, etc... Could be applied to any instruments. Just need to assign a mute/unmute function to those markers.
What actually happened to the plan, as it was once mentioned, to implement a general pause/tacet. I am still missing this, particularly for live setups when I use IRealPro as a virtual band/trio.
At the same time I would like to add that some very easy and laid back drum only fills/sounds would be helpful: Something such as the drums at the beginning of Papa Was A Rolling Stone ...
If total silence cannot be implemented for technical reasons, a rimshot only or a functionality such as the count-in where you can choose Hihat, clave et al. would be great.
I just thought I wanted to bring this up again as I believe this may be what other musicians are looking for, too.
I'm wondering about repurposing the N.C. symbol for complete silence.
Are there many situations where one would want the drums but no chords? (Current behavior)
Or is the overwhelming majority of cases complete silence preferred?
This would be the simple solution.
Adding a new marker (N.S. or Break) would offer the flexibility of having both options but would be a bigger challenge as the editor in all three versions of the app would need the new symbol in an already crowded area, and the new symbol would create backward compatibility issues if someone with an older version of the app tried to open a song with a break created in a newer version.
Hmm...
It would be great if we could have markers to mute/unmute any instruments at any given bars in the song (dr in, dr out, bs in, bs out, keyb in keyb out,...)
I understand that can be challenging to implement such things. But if that happen, that would be awesome!
Cyrille, that doesn't address my question and you're basically asking me to build a full DAW inside iReal Pro.
Let's be realistic and keep to the scope of this app which is to easily make simple backing tracks for you to practice over,
while at the same time keeping the app simple to use without a million options which would ruin the app for the majority of the users.
If your arrangements need that much more detail you're probably better off building them in Logic.
In this thread I'm trying to figure out how to deal with drum breaks.
Choosing between only drums and no instruments at all (empty), I would suggest to keep it the way it is now (with only drums). This is my personal opinion
Thank you, that's useful feedback.
Un further though, my idea wouldn't have worked with how I have things setup anyway.
A measure can be divided in shorter 1,2,3... beat groups relating to each chord so I use these subdivisions in conjunction with N.C. to substitute the chords with silence in bass and harmony parts.
The drums play full measures and know nothing about the chord divisions so I can't easily silence the drums for an unspecified number of beats.
A solution that comes to mind could be to setup a magic keyword like "Break" that can be added in the staff text (Like we do for example with D.C. al Coda) which would mean that the drums stop playing from that measure.
There could be a hit on one as suggested above.
How and when do the drums come back in?
Perhaps at the next double bar line (or repeat bar-line)?
This would cover a lot of Jazz style drum trading situations and simple 1 measure breaks at the end of a section.
I like it!Quote:

Some of us already insert a double-bar to force a cymbal hit which would be ok as the drums return.
And for drum lay-outs across sections simply add another "break".
N.C. would still work as it does currently which is lovely for stop-time and the occasional drum-break.
Thanks for addressing this concern.

Support for drum breaks is now available for testing in the iOS beta on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/s0ijUrAi
Insert the word “Break” in the staff text and the drums will stop with a shot on one until the next double bar line.
This doesn't affect the bass+piano accompaniment which you can still control with N.C.
Using N.C. and Break you can achieve 4 different combinations:
1 - Accompaniment + Drums
2 - Only Accompaniment
3 - Only Drums
4 - Silence
Coming in the next Mac beta soon and to Android sometime early in the new year.
This feature is now available in the latest beta version or iReal Pro for Android.
That's great to hear. Does that mean it'll come to IOS and Mac too?Quote:

Fantastique. Thank you!
How can I remove it ?
The "Break” command is written in text.Quote:

To remove a N.C., place the cursor in the correct space.
Delete N.C. From the chord entry field...or select N.C. again (that toggles the entry in and out)

Thanka that worked :)
I need silence for 9 measures, so I entered "Break" and nine measures with "N.C.". It looks good and almost works, except just for those nine measures, the tempo is slowing down. What is causing this, and can I work around it? I need the tempo to remain consistent from start to end, and including the nine silent measures. This is how it looks: |Break C|N.C.|N.C.|N.C.|N.C.|
That’s very strange.Quote:
