About Rhythms

With the BR-600, you can use the panel buttons (drum pads)
to play the drum sounds any way you like.
The BR-600 features nine pre-programmed collections of
drum sounds designed for use in different musical genres
(drum kits); select the drum kit suited to the type of music
you are playing.
In addition, you can use the dedicated rhythm track to have
rhythms played automatically (rhythm patterns, rhythm
arrangements).
The buttons arranged on the BR-600’s panel, such as
[KICK], [SNARE], [OPEN HH], [CLOSED HH], and so forth
are called “drum pads.” By tapping the drum pads, you can
play the drum tones assigned to the different drum pads.
The drum pads double as screen selection buttons, and you
can use [PAD] to switch functions. To use the drum pads,
press [PAD] so the button is lit.
When the [PAD] button's light is off, the button functions as
a screen select button. [PAD] alternately lights or goes off
each time it is pressed.
For more details about the drum pads, refer to “Playing the
Drum Sounds” (p. 135).
In general, before playing drums, you need to select a drum
set (a collection of kick, snare, and other percussive
instrument sounds) that is suitable for the type of music
(genre) you intend to perform.
The BR-600 includes such kinds of percussion sounds,
programmed as internal tone waveforms, that allow you to
combine sounds for a particular musical genre.
These combinations are called “drum kits.”
The BR-600 features nine pre-programmed drum kits, all of
which you can freely select for your performances.
You can also select your preferred combinations of drum
tone waveforms to create up to five customized drum kits
(“Selecting Drum Kits” (p. 136)).
In addition, if the prepared drum kits do not contain the
drum tone waveforms you want, you can import preferred
drum tone waveforms from computers (“Loading Drum
Sounds from WAV/AIFF Files (Tone Load)” (p. 174, p. 186)).
You can use the drum pads to play the selected drum kits
(p. 135).
You can also have patterns and arrangements be played
back automatically (p. 143, p. 142).
