Applying Reverb to the Drum Sounds

The BR-600 provides two different loop effects that

can be used on the input signal, the audio tracks,

and the rhythm. The loop effects settings are shared

by all of these audio sources, but you can choose how much (if any) of a loop

effect is applied to each. This is accomplished by adjusting an effects “send”

level from each source.

One of the loop effects is a reverb effect. Reverb is useful for adding

ambience to the sound, and you may want to use it on the drum sounds to

add a sense of space and realism to them. Here’s how:

Press PAD so its indicator goes out.

Press PAN/EQ/LOOP FX to display the PAN/EQ/LOOP FX screen.2

Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under [REV], 3

and then press ENTER.

Use the CURSOR buttons to display “Rhy Send.”

Alternately, you can immediately jump to the rhythm send by pressing

TAP TEMPO.

Press PAD so its button lights. (This allows you to play the drum pads

so you can listen to the sound as you adjust the rhythm send.)

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust the amount of reverb that’s

applied to the drum sounds (higher values will apply more reverb).

Play the pads to listen to the sound difference as you’re adjusting the

send level.

If you can’t hear much change in sound as you adjust the send level—or

if you don’t hear any reverb at all—you might need to adjust the overall

volume of the reverb effect. We’ll show you how next.

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

Adjusting the Reverb’s Overall Sound

The reverb effect has settings that allow you to tailor its sound to best suit

your song.

Press PAD so its indicator goes out.

Press PAN/EQ/LOOP FX to display the PAN/EQ/LOOP FX screen.2

Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under [REV], 3

and then press ENTER.

Press PAD so its button lights. (This allows you to play the drum pads

so you can listen to the sound as you adjust the reverb effect.)

To adjust the reverb sound, use the cursor buttons to display

the following screens, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust the

settings:

Type—

• This sets the type of reverb. HALL simulates the ambience

of a large concert hall, while ROOM simulates the ambience of a

smaller space like a studio or a living room.

Rev Time—

• This determines the spaciousness of the reverb effect

(larger settings equal more spaciousness).

Tone—

• Adjusts the brightness of the reverb effect.

E.Level—

• Adjusts the overall level of the reverb effect.

When you’re done making settings, press EXIT twice to return to the

home screens.

The BR-600’s other loop effect can be used to add chorus or delay to any

sound, including the rhythm. To learn more about the loop effects, see

“Using Effects” in the BR-600 Owner’s Manual.
