Creating Original Patterns

With the BR-600 you can create your own original patterns
and then save these as song patterns. This is convenient
when, for example, you cannot find just the pattern you
want from the preset patterns.
There are three ways to create patterns.
You can use this method to create patterns by tapping the
drum pads in real time along with the metronome. Patterns
are recorded exactly as played, making this a convenient
way to create patterns featuring a natural, human
syncopation.

“Creating Patterns by Tapping the Drum Pads
(Realtime Recording)” (p. 145)
With this method, you program the drum sounds one at a
time while visually confirming the performance data in the
pattern on a detailed one-measure graphic display.

“Inputting Sounds One by One While
Confirming the Input Visually (Step
Recording)” (p. 148)
With this method, patterns are created by loading
(importing) SMF files (Standard MIDI Files) as song data.

172)

Note concerning creation of patterns
• Maximum polyphony for patterns is five voices.
This means you can play up to five drum sounds
with the same timing.
• Even if six or more drum sounds are input at the
same time, only five of the drum sounds will be
sounded.
• You cannot play the CLOSED HH and OPEN HH
sounds at the same time.
• When using cymbals and other sounds that have
lengthy decay times, if other sounds totalling five
voices are input before the previous sound has
completely vanished, sounds started previously
may be cut off before they finish playing.
• You cannot switch to other screens while
recording patterns (except for the pattern record
standby screen).
• The message “Drive Busy!” may appear when
data-intensive patterns are played at rapid
tempos. If this occurs, reduce the amount of data
in the pattern or lower the tempo.
