Section 4. Using rhythm
Section 4
What is an arrangement?
You could let a certain pattern repeat endlessly
and practice along with it, just as though you
were playing along with a metronome. However,
using just a single pattern from the beginning of
the song to its end would make the rhythm rather
boring!
To give your song greater musical variety, you’ll
probably want to arrange patterns in order, such
as: intro
→
chorus
→
break
→
ending.
A sequence of patterns that are placed in a
performance order such as this is called an
“arrangement.”

Preset arrangements (P01–P50)
The MICRO BR provides fifty “preset
arrangements” (P01–P50).”
You can’t modify the preset arrangements or
rewrite their data.
The preset arrangements (with the exception of
Metro 4/4) have a three-measure BREAK (rest)
following the E (ending), and will then continue
playing from V1 (verse 1).
“Preset Arrangement List” (p. 117)
Song arrangements (S01–S05)
For each song, you can store up to five
arrangements.
For details, refer to “Playing an arrangement” (p.
90).
The MICRO BR has two modes in which you can
play rhythms; “Pattern mode” and
“Arrangement mode.”
Pattern mode
In this mode you can play patterns. The selected
pattern will play repeatedly from the beginning
of the song to the end. You cannot have patterns
switch automatically during the song.
To play a pattern, press [TR2] to enter Pattern
mode. The display will indicate “PT:” in Pattern
mode.

patterns in the arrangement will play
consecutively.
To play an arrangement, press [TR2] to enter
Arrangement mode. The display will indicate
“AR:” in Arrangement mode.
