I've used Impro-Visor, although it's oriented towards jazz and
learning to improvise rather than providing a generic accompaniment

As the author of MMA I'd like to invite you all to give it a try. I
can tell you that I use it and the generated MIDI files on daily
basis for practice and for the occasional solo gig.

Working from a command line/ script is not my most favorite workflow when
composing or music editing. I tried the gui Linuxband, but found two major
drawbacks for me:
Sorry about the GUI thing. But, I'm convinced that editing a script is
the easy way to do things. We'll agree to disagree here.
1) no mixer to turn off an particular instrument
Please read the MMA manual. There are lots of ways to do this.
2) no funk style
Styles are really quite easy to write. That's one of features of MMA,
I think, is that the styles (and songs files) are all in plain text.
And probably it would be more easy to have a more flexible way to route midi
to a certain sample (also without a 'hard coded' instrument number).
MMA supports translation tables. So you can call any midi "voice"
anything you want.
But, please remember, that MMA's job is to create a midi file. Once
that is done, you can use that file with any other midi-aware DAW or
whatever.
I was searching for an alternative to impro-visor, cause that Java app is
slow, but afaik it's the best option still.
