Creating drum patterns
Only user drum patterns and song drum patterns may
be selected for saving drum pattern data. You will not be
able to select a preset drum pattern at this time.
10. Press [F4] (GO).
The drum pattern will be saved. When the message “Complete!”
appears, it indicates that saving has been completed.
Practicing before recording (Rehearsal)
Whenever rehearsal is turned on, you will be able to play
drum sounds without recording them, even if real-time
recording is in progress. This feature comes in very handy
when you want to practice playing a drum pattern.
1. Press [F2] (REHEARSAL ON) in real-time recording mode.
The message “REHEARSAL:ON” will appear and
rehearsal mode will be activated.

In this mode, you can press a track button to play its drum
sound without the corresponding data being recorded.
2. When you have finished rehearsing, press [F2] (REHEARSAL
OFF) to return to real-time recording mode.
The message “REHEARSAL:OFF” will appear and real-
time mode will be reactivated. When you now press a
track button to play a drum sound, the corresponding
performance data will be recorded.
Recording in perfect time (Quantize)
With real-time recording, the data generated by pressing a
track button is recorded as is, and any imperfections in
timing will be reflected in the performance data. If you don’t
want to hear these imperfections during playback, you can
use the BR-1600CD’s quantize feature to automatically move
performance data to the nearest quarter note, eighth note,
sixteenth note, etc., before the data is actually recorded.
1. Move the cursor to “QTZ” on the Real-Time Recording
standby screen.

2. Select a quantization setting using the TIME/VALUE
dial.

QTZ:
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest quarter note.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest quarter-note triplet.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest eighth note.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest eighth-note triplet.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest sixteenth note.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest sixteenth-note triplet.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest thirty-second note.
( ) Moves drum sounds to the nearest thirty-second-
note triplet.
OFF Quantization will not be carried out, and
performance data will be recorded as is.
3. Press [PLAY].
The BR-1600CD will start recording.
Even during the recording process, you can select a new
quantization setting by changing the “QTZ” value using
the TIME/VALUE dial.
If you select a different drum pattern or load a new
song without saving the current pattern, all of the
newly recorded data will be lost. This data will also
be lost if you turn off the BR-1600CD before saving.
