Creating Original Arrangements
With the BR-600, you can arrange patterns in whatever
sequence you like, giving you freedom to compose songs,
from intro to ending, the way you want. You can then save
these arranged patterns as song arrangements.
You can create song arrangements of up to 999 measures.
Now try actually creating an arrangement.

About Steps
Actually, creating a song arrangement is accomplished
by arranging “steps.” A step is the data combining a
pattern number and the measure at which that pattern
is to start.
Example,
Section of Measure Length Pattern
Composition
Intro 2 Measures Pattern P001
Melody A 16 Measures Pattern S002
Melody B 8 Measures Pattern S003
Bridge 8 Measures Pattern S099
Ending 2 Measures Pattern P006
When a song is composed using the patterns arranged
as above, the arrangement will then consist of the
following sequence of steps.
Step Starting Measure
Number Pattern Number
Step 1 1 P001: ROCK-1 IN
Step 2 3 S002: Original A
Step 3 19 S003: Original B
Step 4 27 S099: Original C
Step 5 35 P006: ROCK-1 E
Step 6 37 P327: BREAK
In other words, since even lengthy songs are sequences
of these compositional units, or steps, these songs can
be finished with less steps.
With the BR-600, you can arrange sequences of up to 50
steps.
