• - - - - (N.C., non-chord)
Select this type of chord if you want the original Bass
Pattern to be played without a chord setting.
Normally, when a chord type of root “C” is set to “- - -,”
the original performance data is played as is.
However, when the root is any note other than “C” and
non-chord is selected, the original performance data will
be adjusted according. For example, if the root is “D,”
the Bass Pattern will be adjusted up one tone for
playback.
• If you release a track button without making a chord
type selection, “- - - (N.C.)” will be selected
automatically.
Each time you release a track button, the chord input
position will be automatically moved forward by a
single measure.
This function allows you to conveniently enter chord
progressions.
6. When you have input all of the desired chords, press
[EXIT/NO] to return to the Rhythm Arrangement Edit
screen.
7. Start playback on the BR-1200CD.
If the current rhythm arrangement contains a bass
pattern, the bass part will be automatically adjusted to
follow the chord progression.
8. To save the input chord progression, continue with the
procedure described in ““Naming and saving rhythm
arrangements” (p. 207).

positions before and after it. In addition, you cannot
move a chord to the same position already occupied
by another chord.
You cannot delete the first chord.
