About the Workshop Booklets

The BOSS BR-600 Digital Recorder packs an incredible amount of recording

power into an amazingly small, portable package. With its eight playback

tracks—and 64 V-Tracks—built-in effects, and onboard drum machine,

the BR-600 is truly a studio-to-go. It even has a built-in stereo microphone

and can be battery-operated so you can capture new music wherever and

whenever.

Each BR-600 Workshop Series booklet focuses on one BR-600 topic, and is

intended as a companion to the BR-600 Owner’s Manual.

About This Booklet

The BR-600’s rhythm function is a full-featured drum machine with 12

velocity-sensitive pads and 14 different drum kits. There are hundreds

of built-in patterns in many musical styles, and you can create your own

patterns as well. Using rhythm arrangements, you can play patterns in

sequential order to add the perfect backing to your songs.

In this workshop, we’ll cover BR-600 rhythm basics such as selecting patterns

and drum kits and playing sounds with the pads. We’ll also show you how to

create your own patterns and rhythm arrangements.

Understanding the Symbols in This Booklet

Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves

special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the following

symbols.

A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.

A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.

Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid

possible damage to your equipment, your data, or yourself.

Hot Links

Each Workshop booklet is meant to be read in order from beginning

to end. However, if we mention an upcoming section—and you see

Getting Started

The BR-600’s rhythm acts as an onboard “drummer” that’s always playing

along with your song. It’s integrally connected to the eight audio tracks, so

you never have to worry about synchronization—whenever you press the

PLAY button, the rhythm always starts with the audio; when you press STOP,

both the rhythm and audio stop together. (Of course, if you don’t want to use

the rhythm in a particular song, you can always turn it off.)

Before we begin learning about the rhythm, let’s clear the slate and create

a new song. It’s best to set up the desired rhythm and tempo first so you’ll

have something to play along with when you start recording the song’s

audio.

To create a new song:

Press PAD so it’s not lit.

Press UTILITY.2

Use the CURSOR buttons to select [NEW], and then press ENTER.3

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the recording type.4

Press ENTER. When “Are you sure?” is displayed, press ENTER again to 5

complete the new song process.

As we move forward, you’ll need to monitor the sound of the BR-600,

either with a speaker system or headphones. To learn how to make the

proper connections, see the BR-600 Owner’s Manual.
