Creating an Original Arrangement
The BR-800 lets you place patterns in the desired order to
make an arrangement, thus creating the structure of your
entire song from intro to ending. Once you’ve created an
arrangement, you can save it as a song arrangement.
An arrangement can contain up to 999 measures.
Now let’s try actually creating an arrangement.

Press the [RHYTHM] button.
The [RHYTHM] button will light.

Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the
cursor to the “step” position, and use the dial to select
the step that you want to edit.
You can move to the previous step by pressing the
[REW] button, or to the next step by pressing the [FF]
button.
Steps
You create a song arrangement by specifying
“steps.” Each step consists of a pattern number and
the measure number at which that step will start.
For example, suppose you want to create a song
that has the following structure:
To create the song structure described above, you
would place the following steps in the arrangement.
The sections of even a long song’s structure can be
specified using only a few steps. The BR-800 lets
you use up to fifty steps.
