Creating drum patterns
• When the BR-1200CD's internal drum sounds are
being played, the Gate Time setting is ignored and
all sounds continue for the same amount of time;
accordingly, the Gate Time setting may be left at "1."
• When the BR-1200CD is playing drum sounds by
transmitting MIDI data to an external drum machine
connected to the MIDI OUT port, it is important that
the gate time be set to match the specifications
described in the drum machine's manual.
3. Move the cursor to the item of performance data to be
modified.
