Currently, you can only have a guitar with the guitar trio "style". If it were one of the instruments (along with organ, piano, vibraphone, etc.) then it could be used with any style. I suspect that may not be a simple process, but you've certainly made other substantial improvements in the 4 years I've been a user that have, no doubt, been just as challenging...
A very easy alternative would be to simply have silence as one of the (sticky) accompanying instruments - for both the bass and the treble. That should be easy to do and would keep me from having to silence an instrument from one song to the next.
Each style has its own set of instruments. Guitar is available in Jazz: Doo doo cats, Guitar Trio, Gypsy jazz, Trad jazz, in Latin: Bossa Acoustic, in Pop:bluegrass, country, funk, reggae, rock, slow rock.Quote:

I will tell the developer for sure ;)
Select the playback instruments in every style. For example allow nylon stringed guitar instead of piano as main accompaniment in any style.
In my opinion it is no good idea, to limit the possible mixer-instruments dependent from style. In standard style 'medium swing' e.g. one has only a very weak/silent bass option. One has to lower the piano and the drums a lot for noticing the bass playing.
I see no sense in this limitation, specially as there is the 'Standardinstrument'-reset button.
(It seems, this wish exists always for a long time. Pity that it didn't get realized.)
Yes, I also agree that we should be able to mix instruments independently.
The current mix settings are very different from one style to another. Some instruments are too loud or not loud enough.
We should be able to save the mix setting for each style individually.
If we could save the mix setting for each song, that would be even better.
Or at least having constistent mixes for all the styles
It would be very interesting to be able to use the comping pattern of some instrument in any other styles.
For ex, I'd like to use the "Long notes" jazz style piano pattern for the latin cha-cha style, because I feel the cha-cha piano pattern is too syncopated (and too busy), and overuses montuno patterns. If I could use other styles piano comping (such as bossa nova or jazz long notes) in the latin styles, that could expand the styles possibilities.
I would like to hear the ukulele in the list of styles, which have guitar in the set of instruments. Imaging "Over the rainbow" with ukulele! This would be wonderful. :):):)
Add 2 to 4 backing (midi)tracks for playing song specific bass, horns, and keyboard parts etc....for metronome practice and composing...something like the old Yamaha qy sequencer series used to do..but better!!……would make iReal even more invaluable
I agree with this:
I would like to have all instruments available in all styles
I would like to add my Thumbs Up for having all instruments in all styles. For instance I love doing some practice on music with the recently deceased Lyle Mays...But here PADS would be great because he used those a lot to support Methenys songs... Maybe a preferences tab that could let you "create" sets of instruments? Very cool programme. I just bought it for Mac as well!
Hello all!
If this feature is here already, I apologize. But I'm wondering if it's possible to use the "pop country" style instruments with a swing feel? I would love to be able to adjust the swing setting on all of the styles too. Thanks!

Yes, having a swing fader where we could adjust the amount of swing (of the 2nd and 4th eighth notes (or sixteenth notes for half time grooves) would be great. It could be very useful for reggae, R&B, swing and some other styles as well
I agree Guitar, requinto, vihuela, mandolin sounds would make it much richer,
P.s. adding a new composition, made on Latin guitar harmonies and solo nylon requinto strings no pick needed, after that I created the harmony, rhytms styles with bass on irealpro, Latin jazz (Mambo swing) in my opinion created with New Orleans styles offered for sharings YouTube link

When I am choosing other instruments in the mixer, the ones I want never seem to be options. Why be prescriptive? Let us choose ANY available instrument in ANY style. But kudos on all the new instruments.
