Panel Descriptions
Display
fig.05-03
Displays the menu screen, parameter setting screen, or other information, depending on the type of settings being made.
If the screen content is difficult to see, refer to “Adjusting the display’s contrast” (Basic Operation; p. 10).
1. Song Name
This box displays the name of the currently selected song. If
protection has been turned on for the song (Song Protect: p.
71), the letter “ ” will also be displayed.
2. Metronome icon
This icon is displayed when the metronome is being used.
3. Marker
This box displays the number of the marker at the current
position. If no marker has been placed at this position, the
number of the last marker before the current position is
shown. If, however, the current position is in front of Marker
No. 001 or if no markers have been registered, “- - -” will be
displayed here.
4. Measure
This box displays the current position in the song in terms of
measures and beats. The measures are shown on the left; the
beats, on the right.
5. Time
This box displays the current position in terms of hours,
minutes, and seconds.
6. Frames
This box displays the current position in terms of the number
of frames. At the time of purchase, the number of frames per
second will initially be set to 30 (non-drop). This represents
one type of MIDI Time Code (MTC) specification, and if you
want to operate the BR-1600CD and other MIDI devices in
synchrony with each other, all must be set to the exact same
MTC specification.
“Synchronizing external MIDI sequencers and rhythm
machines” (p. 225)
7. Information
The Information box displays various items of song data
(such as effect patch, marker names, tempo, chord, and the
remaining time available for recording).
8. Input/Track level meters
This area provides a graphic display of the volume levels,
both of instruments connected to input jacks and of recorded
tracks. At the time of purchase, these level meters will be set
to show the volume levels after the corresponding audio has
passed through the INPUT LEVEL knob or the track faders
(i.e., the post-fader volume levels).
If you would like the level meters to show the volumes
before passing through the faders (i.e., the pre-fader volume
levels), refer to “Changing the content of the level meter
display (Pre/Post Fader)” (p. 263).
9. Master level meter
This level meter provides a graphic display of the overall
stereo volume after audio has passed through the MASTER
fader.
