Some musicians refer to drum patterns as “beats.”

Arrangements—• An arrangement is a series of steps that

tell BR-600 patterns to play in a particular order. There are

50 preset arrangements and five song arrangements.

Preset arrangements utilize the preset patterns, while song

arrangements are created by you using any combination of preset or

song patterns. By creating an arrangement, you can add a sophisticated

drum backing (with beat variations and fills) that perfectly matches

your song.

RHYTHM fader—

• The RHYTHM fader in the TRACK MIXER

controls the volume of the rhythm in relation to the audio

tracks. Adjust it as necessary to create the proper balance

for your song. Setting the RHYTHM fader’s level near the

dark band (as shown) is a good starting point.

Turning the Rhythm On and Off

With playback stopped, you can turn the rhythm on and off using the

RHYTHM ON/OFF button.

Press STOP to stop playback.

Press PAD so its indicator goes out. 2

Press the Rhythm ON/OFF button to toggle its setting.3

Off

In lieu of turning the rhythm off, you can simply turn it down with the

RHYTHM fader instead.

Working with Drum Kits

Selecting a Drum Kit

Press PAD so its indicator goes out.1

Press RHYTHM ON/OFF so its indicator lights.2

Press PATTERN so its indicator lights.3

Press RHYTHM EDIT to display the Pattern Edit screen.4

Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under [KIT], 5

and then press ENTER.

Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under the 6

leftmost character, and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the

desired drum kit group: “P” for preset or “S” for song.

Song drum kits are empty until you load them with sounds. If you select

one of these empty kits, you won’t hear any sound when you play the

pads. For our purposes here, you should select the preset drum kit

group.

Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under the

drum kit number, and then use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the

desired drum kit.

You can audition the selected drum kit using the drum pads (press PAD

so it lights, and then strike the pads). We’ll discuss the pads in detail in

the next section.

When you’re done, press EXIT twice to return to the home screens.
