Using a metronome

Section 3

Selecting metronome sounds

Now that we can hear the metronome, let’s select sounds to
be used.

1.

Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is extinguished (you’re
in Pattern mode).

If this button’s indicator is lit (which means you’re in
Arrangement mode), press PROGRAMMABLE
RHYTHM [ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] to turn it off.

2.

Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].

The Pattern Selection screen will appear.

3.

Move the cursor to “METRONOME” and select a
sound type using the TIME/VALUE dial.

Available sound types

BEEP:

This sets up a beep-type metronome, with a higher-
pitched beep being used for the first beat of each
measure.

CLICK:

This sets up a click-type metronome, with a louder click
being used for the first beat of each measure.

4.

When you have selected the type of sound you want to
use, press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top
screen.

5.

If you wish to store the sound-type selection, save the
current song (p. 72).

Selecting outputs for the metronome

The output of metronome playback can be routed to either or
both of the PHONES 1 or PHONES 2 jacks.

At the time of purchase, the BR-1600CD will be set up to output
metronome playback to both of the headphone jacks.

1.

Press [UTILITY].

The Utility screen will appear.

Move the cursor to “LINE OUT/Phones1” under
“Metronome” and use the TIME/VALUE to set the
output to be routed to LINE OUT and PHONES 1.

The metronome will not be output via LINE OUT and
PHONES 1.

The audio form input, playback sound on the Tracks,
drum/bass patterns and Loop Phrases will be output via
these outputs.

ON:

The metronome will be output via LINE OUT and
PHONES 1.

At the same time, the audio form input, playback sound
on the Tracks, drum/bass patterns and Loop Phrases
will be mixed output via these outputs.

METRONOME ONLY:

Only the metronome will be output via LINE OUT and
PHONES 1.

The audio form input, playback sound on the Tracks,
drum/bass patterns and Loop Phrases will not be output
via these outputs.

The sound-type selection will be used both in
Arrangement mode and in Pattern mode.
