9.

Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the bass pattern to
which the data is to be saved.

Only user bass patterns and song bass patterns may be
selected for saving bass pattern data. You will not be
able to select a preset bass pattern at this time.

10.

Press [F4] (GO).

The bass pattern will be saved. When the message
“Complete!” appears, it indicates that saving has been
completed.

Practicing before recording
(Rehearsal)

Whenever rehearsal is turned on, you will be able to play
bass sounds without recording them, even if real-time
recording is in progress. This feature comes in very handy
when you want to practice playing a bass pattern.

1.

Press [F2] (REHEARSAL ON) in real-time recording
mode.

The message “REHEARSAL:ON” will appear and
rehearsal mode will be activated.

fig.20-055d

In this mode, you can press a track button to play its bass
note without the corresponding data being recorded.

2.

When you have finished rehearsing, press [F2]
(REHEARSAL OFF) to return to real-time recording
mode.

The message “REHEARSAL:OFF” will appear and real-
time mode will be reactivated. When you now press a
track button to play a bass note, the corresponding
performance data will be recorded.

Recording in perfect time (Quantize)

With real-time recording, the data generated by pressing a
track button is recorded as is, and any imperfections in
timing will be reflected in this performance data. If you don’t
want to hear these imperfections during playback, you can
use the BR-1600CD’s quantize feature to automatically move
performance data to the nearest quarter note, eighth note,
sixteenth note, etc., before the data is actually recorded.

1.

Move the cursor to “QTZ” on the Real-Time Recording
standby screen.

3.

Press [PLAY].

The BR-1600CD will start recording.

Even during the recording process, you can select a new
quantization setting by changing the “QTZ” value using
the TIME/VALUE dial.

If you select a different bass pattern or load a new
song without saving the current pattern, all of the
newly recorded data will be lost. This data will also
be lost if you turn off the BR-1600CD before saving.
