Introduction to the BR-1600CD
■
Saving of mixer settings
The term Scene is used to describe a batch of BR-1600CD
mixer and effect settings, and up to 100 scenes can be set
up and stored for each song. Accordingly, these settings
can be conveniently recalled whenever you are
balancing volumes during mix-down, comparing the
sound of different effects, or performing other similar
operations. In addition, another BR-1600CD function
known as Auto Scene allows registered scenes to be
recalled automatically during playback.
“Registering and recalling mixer settings (Scene)” (p. 51)
■
Rapid relocation of the current position
The BR-1600CD’s Marker function allows you to position
as many as 100 different markers at various points
within your song. For example, if you position markers
at the end of the intro, the beginning of the guitar solo,
and other similar points, you will be able to jump to
these points in an instant whenever you want to listen to
the corresponding sections again. You can also assign
names to any or all of these markers, and this proves
extremely helpful during involved editing sessions.
“Placing markers in your song (Marker)” (p. 48)
■
PCM Drum/Bass
A PCM Drum/Bass (p. 146) capable of sequencing drum
and bass patterns has been integrated into the BR-
1600CD, and you will find this extremely useful
whenever you need to put together songs based on
phrases or other ideas that can come to you at any time.
Once you have chosen the drum and bass patterns that
best suit your idea, you can easily set the tempo to the
right speed. What’s more, you can also combine different
drum and bass patterns to create a rhythm-section
performance with interesting variations at appropriate
points during your song, and the PCM Drum/Bass also
allows you to set up chord progressions for the bass part.
Once you have played and recorded tracks along with
the BR-1600CD’s PCM Drum/Bass, it will then be very
easy to perform edits at measure positions.

■
Loop phrase functionality
The BR-1600CD lets you import commercially available
loop phrase data using the CD- R/RW drive and then
save this data on the internal hard disk. The tempo for
these loop phrases can then be freely set to the required
speed so that they can be played in sync with your
recorded tracks. Using this function, you can easily
create songs by layering performances over break beats
or other rhythm patterns.
■
Creation of audio and backup CDs
The BR-1600CD comes with its own CD-R/RW drive
already installed, and you can use this to easily create
audio CDs by burning your finished songs onto CD-R
discs. In addition, the CD-R/RW drive also allows you
to use CD-R/RW discs to conveniently back up songs
and song data.
Before you use the CD-R/RW drive, it is important that
you first of all read “Before Using CD-R/RW Discs” (p.
7).
■
Chromatic tuner
Featuring a chromatic tuner covering the range from C1
to B6, the BR-1600CD allows you to quickly tune any
guitar or bass guitar connected to it (p. 256).
■
Automatic level calibration
Using a function called Level Calibration, the BR-
1600CD Digital Recording Studio can detect and
automatically balance the volumes of its various input
(p. 258).
