Using Loop Phrases
Section 3
Selecting a Loop Phrase
A number of different Loop Phrases will have already been
stored on the BR-1600CD at the time of purchase. Let’s now
select one of these phrases to work with.
1. Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is extinguished (you’re
in Pattern mode).
If this button’s indicator is lit (which means you’re in
Arrangement mode), press PROGRAMMABLE
RHYTHM [ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] to turn it off.
2. Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].
The Pattern Selection screen will appear.

phrase using the TIME/VALUE dial.

4. Press [PLAY] to start playback.
The BR-1600CD will start playback, allowing you to hear
the selected Loop Phrase.
5. When you have selected the Loop Phrase you want to
use, press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top
screen.
6. If you wish to store the Loop Phrase selection, save the
current song (p. 72).
• The song Loop Phrases contained in the BR-1600CD
at the time of purchase are empty; you won’t hear
anything if you select one of them.
• It is important to remember that all user Loop
Phrases and song Loop Phrases will be deleted
whenever you initialize the BR-1600CD’s hard disk
(p. 270).
• At the time of purchase, the BR-1600CD will contain
various user Loop Phrases for immediate use. For
more detailed information regarding these user
Loop Phrases, refer to “User Loop Phrase List”
(separate document).
• “*TMP” appears for the Loop Phrase immediately
after its data is recorded or edited. If you try to select
a different Loop Phrase with the TIME/VALUE dial
while the cursor is positioned above this, the cursor
turns white. If you press [ENTER/YES] at this point,
the cursor reverts to black, and the Loop Phrase
number is confirmed. If you do not want to confirm
it, press [EXIT/NO]; “*TMP” is indicated again, and
the Loop Phrase reverts to the state it was in
immediately after editing. This allows you to avoid
inadvertently erasing data you have edited.
