Creating user rhythm patterns based on preset rhythm patterns

With Ver. 2, you can now select preset rhythm patterns included with the BR-1180/BR-1180CD and edit them to create USER/SONG rhythm patterns.

1. Press the RHYTHM [EDIT] button, press [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “PTN,” then press [ENTER].

This brings up the Rhythm Pattern screen.

6. Press [ENTER].

“Complete!” appears, indicating that the edited results have been written to the USER or SONG pattern.

* “TMP” appears for the rhythm pattern immediately after its data is recorded or edited. If you try to select a different rhythm pattern with the TIME/VALUE dial while the cursor is positioned above this, the cursor turns white. If you press

[ENTER] at this point, the cursor reverts to black, and the rhythm pattern number is confirmed. If you do not want to confirm it, press [EXIT]; “TMP” is indicated again, and the rhythm pattern reverts to the state it was in immediately after editing. This allows you to avoid inadvertently erasing data you have edited.

2. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to Pattern, then select “P001”–”P296” with the TIME/VALUE dial.

You can press [PLAY] at this time to hear the selected preset rhythm pattern. Press [STOP] to stop the performance.

3. You can record the selected preset rhythm pattern using

Realtime Recording, and use Step Recording and the

Microscope function to add changes.

For instructions on how to use Realtime Recording, Step

Recording, and Microscope, refer to “Creating rhythm patterns” on p. 86 in the Owner’s Manual.

* In this case, the process does not directly change the preset rhythm pattern data. The preset rhythm pattern data is copied to temporary memory, and then any changes are made in that copied data. Therefore, no matter how much you record and edit with this data, no changes are made to the original preset rhythm pattern data.

4. Press [EXIT] to return to the Rhythm Pattern screen, press [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “WRITE,” then press [ENTER].

5. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the USER or

SONG pattern to which you want to write the edited pattern.
