Creating drum patterns
Section 3
Changing the drum pattern’s
groove (Swing)
The Swing function allows you to produce a swing-type
groove in your drum patterns by delaying the timing at
which notes with weaker beats are played.
1. Move the cursor to “Swing Pos.” on the Drum Pattern
Edit screen.

2. Select the type of note used to generate swing using the
TIME/VALUE dial.

( ): Swing will be generated in units of sixteenth notes.
3. Move the cursor to “Rate” and set the desired amount
of swing.
fig.20-029ad
50%:
No swing will be applied. Weaker beats will be played
exactly halfway between the stronger beats.
51%–100%:
Swing will be generated in accord with the specified
value. A setting of 100% delays the weak beats by the
greatest possible degree, placing them at almost exactly
the same time position as the stronger beats that follow
them.

4. Press [PLAY] to check whether the degree of swing is
correct for your song.
Playback of the drum pattern will start. Press [STOP] to
end playback.
5. If you want to store the swing setting you have just
made, press [F4] (WRITE/COPY/DEL).
The Write/Copy/Delete screen for drum patterns will
appear.

6. Move the cursor to “TO:” and use the TIME/VALUE
dial to select the drum pattern to which the data is to be
saved.
Only user drum patterns and song drum patterns may
be selected for saving drum pattern data. You will not be
able to select a preset drum pattern at this time.
7. Press [F4] (GO).
The swing settings will be saved together with the drum
pattern. When the message “Complete!” appears, it
indicates that saving has been completed.

If you select a different drum pattern or load a new
song without saving the current pattern, your new
swing setting will be lost. This setting will also be
lost if you turn off the BR-1600CD before saving.
Applying swing does not change the actual
performance data stored in a drum pattern.
Regardless of whether or not swing is actually
applied, performance data will always be displayed
at the same positions when you are using
Microscope.
