Roland BR-800 User Manual

 

■

 

Although a pattern can be used by itself like a metronome 
to guide your practicing, that would mean that the rhythm 
does not change from the beginning to the end of the song. 
If you want to create a song that has musical variation, 
you’ll want to place different patterns in an appropriate 
order such as intro 

 

➝

 

 chorus 

 

➝

 

 break 

 

➝

 

 ending.

On the BR-800, data that places patterns in a specific order 
for performance is called an “arrangement.”

The BR-800 contains fifty “preset arrangements” (P01–P50) 
that are suitable for styles such as rock or jazz.

 

The preset arrangements (except for Metro 4/4) have a 
three measure BREAK (rest) following E (ending), and will 
then repeat V1 (verse 1).

 

 

You can store five arrangements for each song on an SD 
card.

 

In order to play arrangements, the BR-800 must be in 
Arrangement mode. 
For more about this, refer to “Playing an 
Arrangement” (p. 93).

Typically, a drum performance uses a set that includes a 
variety of percussion instruments (such as kick drum and 
snare drum) suitable for that musical style.

The BR-800 provides nine different drum sets that are 
suitable for various styles. Each set is called a “drum kit.”
