Roland BR-600 User Manual

Re
v0.10

 

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.”

 

fig.04-010

 

The BR-600 comes with 50 different internal “preset 
arrangements” (P01 - P50) specially created for use with 
rock, jazz, and other musical genres.

 

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).

 

 

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.”

 

 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.

 

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.
