Quick Start
Adjusting the tone (Track EQ)

on each track that allows you to adjust the high- and low-
frequency tonal qualities separately.

5. When you have finished making the settings, press 
[EXIT] (or [PAN/EQ]) to return to the Play screen.
Adding width to the sound (Loop Effect)
The BR-900CD features chorus, delay, and doubling (any one 
of these three can be selected at any one time) as loop effects, 
and includes reverb as well. Effective use of these allows you 
to add greater breadth to the sound.
What is a loop effect?
Effects connected to the send and return of mixer effects are 
called “loop effects.” You can adjust the depth of the effect by 
changing the send level of each mixer channel (equivalent to 
the tracks of the BR-900CD).
Since the send levels for each track are separate, you can 
change the depth individually. This allows you to, for 
example, have a deep reverb on the vocals and slight reverb 
on the drums, or any such combination.
Opposed to insert effects (p. 35), which are applied to specific 
sounds, loop effects are applied to the complete track.
* You cannot use chorus, delay, and doubling simultaneously. 
Any one may be selected while loop effects are in use.
1. Press [LOOP EFFECTS].

DLY” or “REV,” and press [ENTER].

3. Press CURSOR [
] [
] until “FX Type” or “Type” is 
displayed, then turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the 
loop effect.
