Copying an Arrangement
You can copy a preset or song arrangement into any song arrangement
location. This allows you to use an already-created arrangement as a starting
point for a new arrangement.
Follow Steps 1-3 in “Naming an Arrangement.”
1
Use the CURSOR buttons and TIME/VALUE dial to select the song 2
arrangement you wish to copy.
Use the CURSOR buttons to place the onscreen cursor under [COPY],
3
and then press ENTER.
Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the destination song
4
arrangement.
Copying an arrangement to another arrangement location overwrites
any data that’s in the destination arrangement. Before proceeding,
make sure that you want to overwrite the data in the destination
arrangement, or select an empty arrangement instead.
Press ENTER. “Are you sure?” is displayed. To complete the copy 5
procedure, press ENTER again. If you decide that you don’t want to
copy the arrangement, press EXIT instead.
Rhythm Strategies
Here are a few tips to keep in mind while working with patterns
and rhythm arrangements.
If you plan on using rhythm with your song—
• make sure you set up a
pattern or song arrangement and play along with it while recording
your audio tracks. If you don’t record to a rhythm, you’ll find it extremely
difficult (if not impossible) to add the BR-600’s rhythm later and get it to
play in time with your audio tracks..
You don’t need to create or complete a song arrangement right away—
• As
long as you record your audio in reference to a pattern, a preset
arrangement, or a simplified song arrangement, you can always go
back after the audio tracks have been recorded and create or complete
an arrangement.
Note the tempo—• If you use a pattern as the rhythm reference while
recording audio tracks, make a note of the tempo setting so you can
enter it in the first step of your arrangement.
Count-in—
• If you wish to have a count-in at the beginning of your
song, use one of the metronome patterns (P295-P326) as the pattern
assigned to the first step in your arrangement.
Silence at the end of your arrangement—
• The last step in a song
arrangement plays continuously until playback is stopped, which is fine
if your song fades out. However, if you want silence at the end of your
song, use Preset Pattern P327:BREAK as the pattern assigned to the last
arrangement step; this is a pattern that has no sounds playing in it. (As
its name suggests, P327:BREAK also works great when you want the
drums to stop, or “break,” in the middle of your song.)
