Creating Original Drum Kits (Tone Load)
With the BR-600, you can create original drum kits not only
with the internal drum sounds, but by loading drum
sounds from external sources as well (Tone Load).
There are three ways to load drum tones.
● Loading from the tracks
● Loading from other drum kits
● Loading from WAV/AIFF files (p. 174, p. 186)
This procedure cuts out a portion of the data recorded to the
audio tracks and imports it as a drum sound.
1
Confirm that [PAD] is not lit, then press [UTILITY].
2
Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to
“TONE,” and press [ENTER].
The Tone Load menu screen appears in the display.

● Wave data in the following formats can be imported.
You cannot import wave data in other formats.
• WAV or AIFF format
• Mono or Stereo
• 8-bit or 16-bit
• Sampling Rate : 44.1 kHz
● Compressed WAV files or AIFF files cannot be
loaded.
● Extremely short waveform data (less than
approximately 100 ms) cannot be loaded.
● The loop point settings within an AIFF file will be
ignored.
● For the files to be imported, add the extension
“WAV” to WAV files and the extension “AIF” to
AIFF files.
● You can load drum sounds of up to 13 seconds for a
single drum kit.
(Example)
Kick: 3 seconds, snare: 3 seconds, crash cymbal: 7 seconds
→ Total 13 seconds
● Stereo WAV and AIFF files imported with Tone
Load are loaded as “mono” sounds with the left and
right sides mixed.
