[Roov]

Hi all, has anybody can help with ska music?

 

[Keyscooper]

Hi Roov, the closest rhythm you'll get to ska is to speed up the reggae pattern slightly, I'm a big ska fan .

True, but unfortunately iRealPro only offer a swing (triplet based) reggae beat, which is not really suitable for faster tempo ska rhythm. Let's hope the developers add in the future an even (straight feel) version of the reggae pattern!

Shout and Flat Tire in the new blues styles have nice up-beat grooves. but still not Ska . Too bad they didn't include it. It's almost Gypsy Jazz with up-beats. Wouldn't think it would be as hard to program as some of the other beats.
Does anybody know if a Ska style is in the works?

It's the basic of the basic but it's a classic.

This isn't really in the Ska style, but it IS a (big hit) song by the Ska group Madness:
