Creating rhythm arrangements
Naming and saving rhythm
arrangements
The following section describes how to name and save the
rhythm arrangements that you create.
Unless the song is saved, all rhythm arrangement data
will be lost when a different rhythm arrangement is
selected or a new song is loaded. In addition, this data
will also be lost if you turn off the BR-1600CD before
saving your data. It is a good idea, therefore, to regularly
save rhythm arrangements that you intend to use again.
1.
Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is lighted (you’re in
Arrangement mode).
If this button’s indicator is off (meaning that you’re in
Pattern mode), press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] so it is lighted.
2.
Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].
The Rhythm Arrangement Selection screen will appear.
fig.21-33d
3.
Press [F1] (EDIT).
The Rhythm Arrangement Edit screen will appear.
fig.21-26d
4.
Move the cursor to the rhythm arrangement name field
and use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to
change the name character by character.
5.
Once you’ve made all the desired modifications, press
[F4] (WRITE/COPY/DEL).
The Write/Copy/Delete screen for rhythm
arrangements will appear.
fig.21-28d
6.
Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the rhythm
arrangement to which the data is to be saved.
Only user rhythm arrangements and song rhythm
arrangements may be selected for saving rhythm
arrangement data. You will not be able to select a preset
rhythm arrangement at this time.
7.
Press [F4] (GO).
The rhythm arrangement will be saved. When the
message “Complete!” appears, it indicates that saving
has been completed.
Copying a rhythm arrangement
1.
Press [F4] (WRITE/COPY/DEL) on the Rhythm
Arrangement Edit screen.
2.
Press [F2] (COPY).
The Write/Copy/Delete screen for rhythm
arrangements will appear.
fig.21-29d
3.
Move the cursor to the “FROM:” field and select the
rhythm arrangement to be copied using the TIME/
VALUE dial.
4.
Move the cursor to “TO:” and use the TIME/VALUE
dial to select the rhythm arrangement to which the data
is to be copied.
Only user rhythm arrangements and song rhythm
arrangements may be selected as copy destinations. In
other words, you will not be able to select a preset
rhythm arrangement at this time.
5.
Press [F4] (GO).
Copying of the rhythm arrangement will begin. When
the message “Complete!” appears, it indicates that
copying has been completed.
The rhythm arrangement selected as the copy
destination will be overwritten in this process. As it
will not be possible to restore the corresponding
data, care should be taken to ensure that important
rhythm arrangements are not accidentally
overwritten in this way.
