Erasing All Loop Phrases at
One Time
To erase all Loop Phrase assignments at one time, carry out
the following procedure in the Rhythm Arrangement View
screen.
1. Move the cursor to “LOOP,” then press [F2] (CLEAR).
The message “Sure?” will appear.
2. Press [ENTER/YES].
All assigned Loop Phrases are deleted.
Inserting Loop Phrases
Use the following procedure in the screen for assembling
Loop Phrases into rhythm arrangements to insert a new Loop
Phrase between two that have already been positioned.
1. Move the cursor to “MEAS” and select the measure for
insertion using the TIME/VALUE dial.
2. Press [F1] (INSERT).
A Loop Phrase (A001) will be inserted.
3. Move the cursor to “NO.” and select the desired Loop
Phrase using the TIME/VALUE dial.
Copying a Loop Phrase from a rhythm
arrangement to an audio track
When one or more Loop Phrases have been assembled into
the currently selected rhythm arrangement, you can copy the
complete loop-phrase assembly as audio data to one of the
BR-1200CD’s audio tracks.
• The speed of Loop Phrase playback will be automatically
adjusted to the tempo of the rhythm arrangement. Since
this process increases the rate at which data must be read
from the hard disk, the probability of a “Drive Busy!”
message being displayed also increases. This will be
particularly noticeable in cases where the rhythm
arrangement’s tempo is considerably faster than the
Loop Phrase’s original tempo and cases where short
Loop Phrases are played back repeatedly. If, however,
you copy the Loop Phrase arrangement to an audio
track, the load placed on the hard disk during playback
can be reduced, and the “Drive Busy!” message will be
displayed much less frequently.
• Only Loop Phrases can be copied in this way—in other
words, you will not be able to copy drum or bass
patterns to an audio track.
• Even if the tempo is subsequently changed, the playback
speed of audio data created in this way will not be
affected. For this reason, before copying Loop Phrase
arrangements to an audio track, it is important that you
set the tempo carefully and make sure that it will not
need to be adjusted again.
1. Press CD-R/RW [LOOP PHRASE IMPORT].
[LOOP PHRASE IMPORT] will light up and the Loop
Phrase screen will appear.

the copy-destination track.
