Introduction to the BR-600
 
The BR-600 digital multitrack recorder has been designed to 
provide the intuitive feel of a conventional music recorder, 
making it simple to operate, even for beginners.
No matter what your experience, the BR-600 brings you the 
excitement of digital recording, from recording of the 
performance to the final mixdown, right from the day you 
take it home.
With portability a priority in its design, the BR-600 features a 
smaller than Letter size (183 x 257 mm (10-1/8 x 7-1/4 inches)) 
and is only 27 mm (1-1/8 inches) thick. It can also run on six 
AA-size batteries(alkaline batteries recommended), meaning 
you can put it into a guitar case pocket and take it with you, 
enabling you to record wherever you go.
 
All processes are fully digital
 
In addition to a digital mixer and digital recorder, the BR-
600 contains five digital effects processors.
It is possible to perform all steps needed for recording, 
including editing, bouncing tracks, using effects, and 
mixing down, entirely within the digital realm, so there is 
no deterioration in the signal quality.
Using the USB connector also allows you to save the song 
data you create to a computer.
 
Rhythm function
 
The “Rhythm function” makes it easy to capture phrases or 
musical ideas that come to mind. Simply select an 
appropriate Rhythm pattern, and set the tempo.
In addition to the internal preset Rhythm patterns already 
provided, you can also create your own original Rhythm 
patterns. By recording using the Rhythm function, editing 
one measure at a time is greatly simplified.
 
 
Equipped with V-Tracks
 
The BR-600 has eight audio recording tracks, which 
provides for simultaneous recording on two tracks, or 
simultaneous playback from eight tracks.
Moreover, each track incorporates eight virtual tracks, 
called “V-Tracks,” for a total recording capability of 8 x 8 = 
64 tracks! This increased versatility allows you to do things 
such as record numerous takes of a guitar solo, which you 
can later choose from when putting it all together. 
Also, while playing back eight tracks, you can use the 
bounce mode to bounce to a V-Track and perform stereo 
bouncing without needing to erase any data.

 What are V-Tracks?
Each track consists of eight virtual tracks, and you can 
choose any one of these tracks for recording or 
playback. This means that you can record to up to a 
maximum of 64 tracks, and then select any eight of 
them to play back. These virtual tracks that make up 
the actual tracks are called “V-Tracks.”
A “Track Sheet” is provided at the rear of this manual 
(p. 226), which you make copies of, and fill in when 
recording music to V-Tracks.
