Using the Insert Effects

The BR-600 comes with five effects processors: an insert
effects, loop effects, Track EQ, Pitch Correction, and
Mastering Tool Kit.
An insert effects, loop effects, and Track EQ can be used
simultaneously, and you can make settings for each effect as
desired.
Here is an explanation of how to change the various parameters
for the insert effects and how to then save those changes.
"Insert Effect Parameter Functions" (p. 96)
"Loop Effect Parameter Functions" (p. 120)
"Track EQ Parameter Functions" (p. 122)
Insert effects are applied during recording, in addition
they are applied during the mixing of the various tracks
as well.
For more details, refer to "Changing the destination
Insert Effects are Connected" (p. 95).

Effect Patches and Banks

The effects used by insert effects and the parameters of each
effect are changed by calling up "effect patches."
Your BR-600 comes equipped with a number of preset effect
patches for use with vocals and instruments. These are
grouped according to different input sources and each
group is called a "bank."

Your BR-600 allows you to automatically change banks.
For example, pressing the [GUITAR] INPUT SELECT
button changes you to a guitar bank patch, and pressing
[LINE] changes you to a line bank patch.
Also, within each bank, effect patches are further grouped
as shown below.
Preset patches (P)
The preset patches contain preset data. Their settings can be
changed, but you cannot create a new preset patch.
User patches (U)
User patches can be rewritten, and are stored in internal
memory. If you have created a patch that you would like to
use for other songs as well, it is convenient to store it as a
user patch.
Song patches (S)
Like user patches, song patches can be written; however,
the data for song patches are stored along with the song
data to the memory card.
This is convenient when you have created a patch for a
specific recorded performance, and would like to store that
patch together with the song.
