•Initializing the rhythm guide (arrangements/ patterns/drum kits)

•Arrangement/Pattern Edit

•Importing SMFs

Saving the current settings to the song

The BR-864 can save the following contents as song data.

•Recorded data

•Mixer settings (Pan, Track EQ, etc.)

•Insert Effect song patches

•Mastering Tool Kit song patches

•Rhythm Arrangements / Rhythm Patterns

•Loop Effects

•Tuner

•Utility (excluding LCD contrast)

These recorded data or mixer settings are not saved immediately after recording, but are saved when songs are saved, and when the screens are switched.

Ordinarily, if a situation calls for it, a message appears in the display prompting you to confirm that you want to save the data, so you need not pay particular attention to this, but if you want to save the settings to the song in its current state, use the following procedure.

1.Hold down [STOP] and press [REC].
