The user rhythm arrangements and song rhythm
arrangements contained in the BR-1600CD at the time of
purchase are empty; you won’t hear anything if you select
one of them. Be sure to select a preset rhythm arrangement
here if you want to hear immediate playback.
4. Press the track buttons for Tracks 11/12 through 15/16
several times until they are lighted.
Pressing a button repeatedly allows you to cycle it
through the possible statuses, which are: Off

No rhythm arrangement will be played.
Flashing:
Rhythm arrangement will be played only when the BR-
1600CD is recording or performing.

Rhythm arrangement will be always played even when
the BR-1600CD is not recording or performing.
Track 11 and 12 buttons are not lighted. They will only
be dark or flashing.

arrangement.

Changing the rhythm
arrangement tempo
Two different methods can be used to set the rhythm
arrangement’s tempo—namely, setting of a fixed tempo for
the overall song and setting of tempos for individual
measures (Tempo Map (p. 198)).
The following section will describe the method for setting a
fixed tempo.
It is important to remember that whenever a fixed tempo
is set, all tempos previously set for individual measures
will be permanently overwritten with this new tempo.
1. Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is lighted (you’re in
Arrangement mode).
If this button’s indicator is off (meaning that you’re in
Pattern mode), press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] so it is lighted.
2. Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].
The Rhythm Arrangement Selection screen will appear.

No Loop Phrases are included in preset rhythm
arrangements, and for this reason, there will be no
playback from the Loop Phrase track (i.e., Track 11/
12). If you would also like to hear a Loop Phrase,
select either a user rhythm arrangement or a song
rhythm arrangement, and then assign a Loop Phrase
to it. (“Assembling Loop Phrases” (p. 192))
