Roland BR-900CD 用户手册

When creating a Rhythm arrangement by stringing together 
Rhythm patterns, there may be times when you do not find 
anything suitable among the preset Rhythm patterns, or 
when you want to get a Rhythm pattern that sounds exactly 
the way you want. In such cases, you can create your own 
original Rhythm patterns.

There are three ways to create Rhythm patterns.

In Realtime Recording, you record while tapping the TRACK 
buttons in time with the metronome. Rhythm patterns are 
played back repeatedly, and the data being input is mixed in 
with these sounds. Additionally, even if your timing is a little 
off when tapping the buttons, you can use the Quantize 
function to rectify the input so the timing is correct.

In Step Recording, the timing of sounds and the drum 
sounds are programmed one at a time. There are two ways to 
input drum sounds:

• Specifying the timing of a sound (measure-beat-click), 

and inputting the drum sound at that point by tapping 
the TRACK button.

• Inputting a drum sound at the desired timing within the 

detailed framework dividing a single measure (the 
matrix). This allows you to visually get an overall grasp 
of the Rhythm pattern, making for a simple way to create 
Rhythm patterns.

You can import SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) as song patterns.
