RealTracks Set 102: Uptempo Reggae
This set includes Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, B3 Organ, Acoustic Piano, and a brand new Reggae Classic
RealDrums style. With all the styles used together, you’ll be constantly immersed in B3 Organ, Guitar strumming
out the rhythm, Piano shots on the off-beats, and a booming Bass holds it all together. Each style was recorded at

styles cover a wide tempo spectrum.
RealTracks Set 103: Slow Groovin' Reggae
Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, B3 Organ, Acoustic Piano, and a brand new Reggae Classic Tambo RealDrums style.

shots on 2 and 4, and the jammin' B3 Organ fills in on 3. The “RealCharts” allow you to see exactly what’s being
played on the piano, guitar & bass in notation, and on the on-screen piano keyboard. The bass & guitar have the
added benefit of displaying correctly in TAB and on the on-screen guitar/bass fretboards.

including the standard wooden mallet as well as a variety of brush mallets for a slightly softer tone. The Guitars and

TAB, and on the on-screen piano keyboard or guitar fretboard.
