Loop Phrases
One method often used when putting songs together involves the creation first of all of a section of basic audio data of one or two
measures in length, and the basic song structure is then formed by repeating this section the required number of times. The term
Loop Phrase is used to describe one of these sections of basic audio data.
The most appropriate Loop Phrases for your tunes can be selected, placed on the Loop Phrase track, and then played back as
many times as you like.
You can also create your own original Loop Phrases using portions of recorded audio tracks or by importing audio data from
commercially available sampling CDs and the like.
On the BR-1200CD, you can specify that Track 9/10 be the Loop Phrase track, then arrange the Loop Phrases sequentially in
measure units on the track for performance.

The BR-1200CD can store 400 user Loop Phrases (in banks A through H) for use in any song and 50 song Loop Phrases that are
saved together with a specific song. User Loop Phrases and song Loop Phrases can be overwritten.
At the time of purchase, the BR-1200CD will contains 190 user Loop Phrases that are ready for immediate use.
• For details on how Loop Phrases are actually used, refer to “Using Loop Phrases” (p. 185).
• Loop Phrases can only be used when Track 9/10 has been set up as a Loop Phrase track using its track type setting (p. 185).
• The same track is used as both the Loop Phrase track and the drum track.

Loop Phrase
The Bass track and Drum/Loop Phrase track are used together with audio Track 8 and Track 9/10, respectively. The
track type can be set independently for each track; for example, you can use just the Bass track, or use Track 9/10 as
audio tracks.
