About Song Drum Kits

As we mentioned earlier, the BR-600 provides five different “song” drum kits

with each song. If you can’t find a preset drum kit you like, you can create

your own custom kit in a song drum kit. When you first create a new BR-600

song, the song drum kits are empty. If you want to use them, you’ll need to

manually load sounds into them.

Creating song drum kits is beyond the scope of this workshop. To learn

how to create them, please refer to the chapter “Creating Original Drum Kits

(Tone Load)” in the BR-600 Owner’s Manual.

Using the Pads

Before playing drum sounds, make sure the MASTER volume is set to a

comfortable listening level. If you’re in doubt, turn down the MASTER

fader all the way, and slowly raise it to the desired level while playing

the drum sounds.

Drum pads

Press the PAD button so it lights.1

Strike the drum pads to play sounds in the current 2

drum kit. The bottom part of each pad is labeled

with the drum sound it will play in a preset drum

kit.

This pad plays a

snare sound

When you create a song drum kit, you’re free to assign any sound you

want to any drum pad; as such, the sounds you assign don’t have to

correspond to the label on the pad.

If needed, adjust the drum sounds’ volume with the RHYTHM fader.

Adjusting the Pads’ Sensitivity to Playing Dynamics

You can easily adjust how the pads respond to your playing dynamics. There

are four different settings available:

HEAVY—

• is for a heavy playing touch.

MID—

• is for an average playing touch.

LIGHT—

• is for a light playing touch.

FIX—

• sets the drum sounds to play at a fixed level, no matter how hard

you strike the pads.

To adjust the pads’ sensitivity:

Press PAD so its indicator goes out.

Press UTILITY to display the Utility screen (on this screen, UTIL is 2

shown in the upper left-hand corner of the display).

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

and then press ENTER.

Use the CURSOR buttons to display Pad Sens.

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired setting: HEAVY, MID, 5

LIGHT, or FIX. To try out the selected setting, press PAD so it lights,

and then strike the pads.

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