Selecting drums to act as a guide for recording

It is often difficult to keep playing a part at a fixed tempo until you have become very familiar with it. If you play

along with the BR-1200CD’s internal drums, however, this type of variation in tempo can be dramatically reduced.

Thanks to the highly realistic sound of the BR-1200CD’s PCM drum samples, you’ll be able to enjoy the great feeling

of playing along with actual drums. What’s more, if you record along with a drum track, you’ll be able to perform

editing in units of beats and bars later on.

Setting up a drum track (Track Type Select)

In order to set up the BR-1200CD to play drum sounds, use the following procedure to designate Track 9/10 as the

drum & loop phrase track.

3 Press [ENTER/YES].

This operation sets up Track 9/10 as the drum & loop

phrase track.

You can use bass and loop phrase as well as drum as a guide. Please refer to “Section 4 Using Rhythm” (p. 153).

If USE DRUMS + LOOP or USE DRUMS + BASS + LOOP was selected during SONG NEW (p. 48), Track 9/10 will be

already set up as the drum track and the following procedure will not be required.
