About Rhythms
Rev0.10
Although you can play a pattern by itself as a guide for
practice, like a metronome, the rhythm in that case
continues from the start of the song to the end without
changing. When creating songs that include musical
changes, a number of different patterns need to be arranged
sequentially; for example, an intro followed by the chorus,
bridge, and ending.
This sequencing of data, with patterns lined up in the order
performed, is called an “arrangement.”

Preset arrangements(P01 – P50)

The BR-600 comes with 50 different internal “preset
arrangements” (P01 - P50) specially created for use with
rock, jazz, and other musical genres.
* You cannot change or overwrite data in the preset
arrangements.
With the preset arrangements (except for Metro 4/4), the E
(ending) is followed by a three-measure BREAK (rest), after
which the performance repeats from V1 (Verse 1).
“Arrangement / Pattern List” (p. 208)

Song arrangements (S01 – S05)

These are arrangements whose data is rewritable, and up to
5 different arrangements for each song can be stored on
memory cards.
To play arrangements, you need to put the BR-
600 in Arrangement mode.
For more information about this procedure, refer
to “Playing Rhythm Arrangements” (p. 143)
The BR-600 features two modes for performing rhythms,
“Pattern mode” and “Arrangement mode.”

Pattern Mode

This mode is used for performing patterns. The selected
pattern is played repeatedly from the beginning of the song
to the end. You cannot have patterns switch automatically
during the song.
To play a pattern, press [PATTERN], causing the indicator
to light and switching the BR-600 to Pattern mode.

Arrangement Mode

This mode is used for performing arrangements. The
patterns are switched during the song according to the
order in which they are arranged.
To play an arrangement, press [ARRANGE], causing the
indicator to light and switching the BR-600 to Arrangement
mode.
