Thanks for taking an interest.
Will there be a chance for us to create and submit our own style packs is can be done in BIAB? Don't get me wrong I am happy to purchase any style packs you throw my way but often we have an idea how we would like the style to be and being musicians some of us may want to design our own from scratch as well.
not sure, but will keep it mind. The problem is it is quite a process...and code...and all kinds of things to refine the sounds specific to what the style is. We do quite a bit of tweaking for each style. But it could become possible for the future in some way. Thanks for the suggestion.Quote:

I too would want some great funk grooves, but I don't see what you would do to implement it - every song I want to put a funk groove to seems to have a uniques, pretty-well-defined bass line, without which the song just isn't the same - at all. Generally, not even close.Quote:

Now rock grooves can be pretty generic in general, IMHO (but I'm a jazz player, what do I know?) But think BIAB generic line for any Tower of Power tune? Fageddabowdit...
You can use N.C. (no chord) for a break. It is the best we can offer at the moment. The complexities of funk! I suspect it comes down to doing your own drum funk track note-by-note if you really want it accurate which you can do with other apps, midi, (hiring a real drummer etc.!) We will put one out eventually and think of it as a groove rather than a specific song.Quote:

Please add more Latin boleros, I have the Latin real book and it will be great if you guys add the iPad Latin real book package. I love your app is the best!
I would have thought that the more funky jazz would be next on the list, I mean... Brecker Brothers?
I'm looking forward to it, the jazz funk standards don't work so well with the swing setting.
We will get it there for you. The style packs actually take a long time to prepare as each sound used and rhythm are developed testing different songs and tempos so they are as versatile (and generic) as possible. But we are working on more rhythms at the moment. We had to make some updates to iReal book for Mac recently. We have many updates to work on at the moment.Quote:

I just did get the iRB app before it was pulled, but didn't get the J&L Packs. Since the iRB has been pulled, I am guessing that the J&L Packs are not available for purchase as well. Am I right?
They should still work (in theory.)Quote:

They are not purchased via iTunes as they are in-app purchases. Within iReal book>Settings>Player are the purchase buttons to install each pack. Give them a try. You still have to put in your iTunes password.Quote:

I guessed you are unfamiliar with John Scofield, Miles Davis, Grant Green, Horace Silver, George Benson, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Billy Cobham, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Idris Muhammad, The Crusaders, Soulive, The Greyboy Allstars, Eddie Harris, David T Walker, Jaco Pastorious, Freddie Hubbard, and many many more artists who have mixed funk and jazz. Shish!
C'mon man, you're replying to a post that is more than 3 years old... Back then, the app was still mostly focused on straight-ahead jazz standards and the player feature had just been introduced (as a practice tool).
iReal Pro has evolved a lot since then. (and continues to evolve) it ain't Google or Microsoft, just a tiny development team that's working really hard.
There's a Funk style that's one of the Pop styles for the player feature.
You just arrived here. Take some time to learn what this great app CAN do for you before you start complaining.
Here's admin's latest response about new styles:

Presently (except for the 12 extra Blues styles) all other available player styles are included in the app.
You buy the extra Blues styles as a one time In-App purchase (More... > Store > Extra Styles)
– Each of the 12 Blues styles comes with guitar, keyboard, bass and drums tracks Improvements to audio
