Creating Original Arrangements
 
With the BR-600, you can arrange patterns in whatever 
sequence you like, giving you freedom to compose songs, 
from intro to ending, the way you want. You can then save 
these arranged patterns as song arrangements.
You can create song arrangements of up to 999 measures.
Now try actually creating an arrangement.

  About Steps
Actually, creating a song arrangement is accomplished 
by arranging “steps.” A step is the data combining a 
pattern number and the measure at which that pattern 
is to start.
Example,
Section of 
     Measure Length         Pattern
Composition
Intro
2 Measures
Pattern P001
                                    ↓
Melody A
16 Measures
Pattern S002
                                   
 ↓
Melody B
8 Measures
Pattern S003
                                    
Bridge
8 Measures
Pattern S099
                                    ↓
Ending
2 Measures
Pattern P006
When a song is composed using the patterns arranged 
as above, the arrangement will then consist of the 
following sequence of steps.
Step                    Starting             Measure 
Number                 Pattern              Number
Step 1

   P001: ROCK-1 IN
                                    ↓
Step 2
         3
   S002: Original A
                                    ↓
Step 3
        19
   S003: Original B
                                    ↓
Step 4
        27
   S099: Original C
                                    ↓
Step 5
        35
   P006: ROCK-1 E
                                    ↓
Step 6
        37
   P327: BREAK
In other words, since even lengthy songs are sequences 
of these compositional units, or steps, these songs can 
be finished with less steps.
With the BR-600, you can arrange sequences of up to 50 
steps.
