Section 4. Using rhythm
The MICRO BR provides a dedicated rhythm
track in addition to its audio tracks 1–4.
You can play rhythms as a guide during
recording, or place internal rhythms in the order
of your song structure to create your own
original rhythm.
Broadly speaking, the MICRO BR’s rhythms
consist of performance data called “patterns” and
“arrangements.”
What is a pattern?
If you’re a drummer playing in a band, you will
normally repeat fixed patterns that are one or two
measures in length. These are the basic units of
repetition, and are called “patterns” on the
MICRO BR.
* You can’t modify a pattern or rewrite its data.
The MICRO BR contains various patterns created
for use in the introduction, verse, fill, and ending.
The pattern type is indicated by the letters at the
end of the pattern name.
(Ex.)
• ROCK1-IN (Intro)
• ROCK1-V1 (Verse 1)
• ROCK1-F1 (Fill 1)
• ROCK1-V2 (Verse 2)
• ROCK1-F2 (Fill 2)
• ROCK1-E (Ending)
IN (intro)
A performance pattern for use during an
introduction.
V (verse) 1, 2
These are the main performance patterns. 1 is the
basic pattern, and 2 is a more advanced variation
of 1.
F (fill) 1, 2
These are performance patterns typically inserted
at transitions between phrases. Choose either 1 or
2 depending on the pattern that will follow the
fill.
E (ending)
A performance pattern used at the end of the
song.
