Hi everyone,
Each style takes time to produce with the coding, samples and groove. There is no funk yet because it is not relevant to the Jazz style. It will come. We have no definite timeline for the next style release.
Thanks for taking an interest.

"There is no funk yet because it is not relevant to the Jazz style" - Waaaaaaaaa????? are you kidding???? 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:

There is a funk in the Pop style pack.

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.

We really need, meaning probably eveybody, some reg. funk and rock grooves.
