Using the Insert Effects
The BR-900CD comes with five effects processors: an insert
effects, loop effects, Track EQ, Pitch Correction, and
Mastering Tool Kit.
An insert effects, loop effects, and Track EQ can be used
simultaneously, and you can make settings for each effect as
desired.
Here is an explanation of how to change the various
parameters for the insert effects and how to then save those
changes.
“Insert Effect Parameter Functions” (p. 88)
“Loop Effect Parameter Functions” (p. 111)
“Track EQ Parameter Functions” (p. 112)
Insert effects are applied during recording, in addition they
are applied during the mixing of the various tracks as well.
For more details, refer to “Changing How the Insert Effects
are Used According to the Mode” (p. 87).
Effect Patches and Banks
The effects used by insert effects and the parameters of each
effect are changed by calling up “effect patches.”
Your BR-900CD comes equipped with a number of preset
effect patches for use with vocals and instruments. These are
grouped according to different input sources and each group
is called a “bank.”
fig.01-501
Your BR-900CD allows you to automatically change banks
by pressing an INPUT SELECT button. For example,
pressing the [GUITAR/BASS/MIC2] INPUT SELECT button
changes you to a guitar bank patch, and pressing [LINE]
changes you to a line bank patch.
Also, within each bank, effect patches are further grouped as
shown below.
Preset patches (P)
The preset patches contain preset data. Their settings can be
changed, but you cannot create a new preset patch.
User patches (U)
User patches can be rewritten, and are stored in internal
memory. If you have created a patch that you would like to
use for other songs as well, it is convenient to store it as a
user patch.
Song patches (S)
Like user patches, song patches can be written; however, the
data for song patches are stored along with the song data to
the memory card. This is convenient when you have created
a patch for a specific recorded performance, and would like
to store that patch together with the song.
fig.01-502
* Song patches (S) cannot be selected unless a memory card is
inserted.
Your BR-900CD is shipped with the user patches (U) and
song patches (S) containing the same patches as the preset
patches (P).
When you create a new song, copies of the patches in the
song patches (S) are made in the preset patches (P) for each
bank.
