Inserting patterns
Use the following procedure in the screen for assembling

new pattern between two that have already been positioned.

Inputting chords
Simply assembling bass patterns into rhythm arrangements
will result in the same bass line being repeated over and
over. By also inputting chords at the correct positions, you
can have you BR-1600CD automatically adjust the bass
performance to notes that match the chord progression.

5.
Use track buttons 1 through 15/16 to input the note
names for chords.
In addition, you can also turn the TIME/VALUE dial
while a track button is being held to select different types
of chords.
Selectable chord types
• - - - - (N.C., non-chord)
Select this type of chord if you want the original Bass
Pattern to be played without a chord setting.
Normally, when a chord type of root “C” is set to “- - -,”
the original performance data is played as is.
However, when the root is any note other than “C” and
non-chord is selected, the original performance data will
be adjusted according. For example, if the root is “D,”
the Bass Pattern will be adjusted up one tone for
playback.
• If you release a track button without making a chord
type selection, “- - - (N.C.)” will be selected
automatically.
Each time you release a track button, the chord input
position will be automatically moved forward by a
single measure.
This function allows you to conveniently enter chord
progressions.
6.
When you have input all of the desired chords, press
[EXIT/NO] to return to the Rhythm Arrangement Edit
screen.
7.
Start playback on the BR-1600CD.
If the current rhythm arrangement contains a bass
pattern, the bass part will be automatically adjusted to
follow the chord progression.
8.
To save your chord progression, carry out the
procedure described below in “Modifying all of the
loop phrases in the current rhythm arrangement
(Arrangement Modify)” (p. 195).
