Reverb Button; Edit Button - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

22. REVERB button

This calls up either a screen for setting of the send level from
each track to the loop effect reverb, or a screen that allows
reverb parameters to be set (p. 126).
23. AUDIO TRACK MIXER faders 1–8,
9/10, 11/12
These faders are used to control the volumes of the
corresponding tracks during playback.
Since tracks 9/10 and 11/12 are fixed as stereo tracks, a
single fader controls the volume of both tracks in the stereo
pair simultaneously. In addition, the faders for tracks 8 and
9/10 are also used to control the volume of rhythm
arrangement components such as loop phrases, bass, and
drums.
In this manual, the term "track faders" is used to refer to
the AUDIO TRACK MIXER faders.
24. Track buttons 1–8, 9/10, 11/12
Track buttons 1 through 8, 9/10, and 11/12 are used to select
tracks for recording or for the setting of parameters.
Furthermore, they can also be used to select drum and/or bass-
guitar sounds when you are creating a drum pattern or a bass
pattern. Since tracks 9/10 and 11/12 are fixed as stereo tracks, a
single button simultaneously selects both tracks in the stereo
pair. When a track has been selected for recording, its track
button will turn red and start to flash, and when recording is
started, this will change to a steady red lighting pattern. Then,
when recording has ended, the track button will flash in orange
and green. The relationship between the type of illumination
and the track status is as follows:
Off:
The track contains no audio data (i.e., it has not been
recorded on).
Steady green:
The track contains (recorded) audio data.
Flashing green:
The track contains (recorded) audio data but is currently
muted.
Flashing red:
The track has been selected for recording and the BR-1200CD
is in standby mode for recording.
Steady red:
The track is being recorded to.
Flashing orange and green:
The track contains recorded audio data and is currently
selected for recording.
Flashing orange:
The track contains recorded audio data, is selected for
recording, but is currently muted.
