Creating Loop Phrases

Section 3

“Assembling Loop Phrases” (p. 192)

Modifying Loop Phrase settings

When a loop phrase is created, the number of measures is set
automatically according to the length of the Loop Phrase
such that the BPM for these measures are as close to 120.0 as
possible. In addition, the start and end positions for playback
of the Loop Phrase are set to the start and end of the audio
data.

The following procedure can be used to modify any of these
settings.

1.

Press CD-R/RW [LOOP PHRASE IMPORT].

The Loop Phrase screen will appear.

2.

Move the cursor to the EDIT icon and press [ENTER/
YES].

Alternatively, you can press [F2] (EDIT) if the EDIT icon
is currently displayed.

The Loop Phrase Edit screen will appear.

VALUE dial.

5.

Move the cursor to the start or end position for
playback of the Loop Phrase, and modify the setting
using the TIME/VALUE dial.

The displayed values represent the number of samples
from the beginning of the Loop Phrase. On the BR-
1600CD, 44,100 samples correspond to one second of
playback.

The start and end positions of the Loop Phrase can be
modified in units of 16 samples.

It will not be possible to play back Loop Phrases with
less than 0.5 seconds (or 22,064 samples) between the
start and end positions.

Press [F2] (PREVIEW) to start playback of the Loop
Phrase and confirm that settings have been modified as
required.

Press [ENTER/YES] once again when you want to stop
playback.

6.

Use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to change
the name character by character.

7.

If you want to store your modified settings, press [F4]
(GO).

The message “Sure?” will appear.

8.

Press [ENTER/YES].

The modified settings will be saved, and when the
message “Complete!” appears, it indicates that this
operation has been completed.

• If additional recordings or edits have been made

with respect to the currently selected song, the
message “Save Current?” may appear. If you want
to modify the loop phrase’s tempo after the results
of such recording and/or editing have been saved,
press [ENTER/YES]. If you press [EXIT/NO], the
recording/editing is lost.

If you load a new song or turn off the BR-1600CD
without saving in this way, all modified settings will
be lost.
