Creating An Original Arrangement; Specifying The Pattern For The First Measure - Boss MICRO BR DIGITAL RECORDER MICRO BR Owner's Manual

Creating an original
arrangement
Here's how to create an arrangement by placing
patterns in the desired order from the intro
through the ending.
You can create an arrangement of up to 999
measures in length. After creating an
arrangement, you can save it as a "song
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
Composition Length
Intro 2 Measures
↓
Melody A 16 Measures Pattern PT:002
↓
Melody B 8 Measures
↓
Bridge 8 Measures
↓
Ending 2 Measures
When a song is composed using the patterns ar-
ranged as above, the arrangement will then consist
of the following sequence of steps.
Step Number Measure
Number
Step 1 1
↓
Step 2 3
↓
Step 3 19
↓
Step 4 27
↓
Step 5 35
↓
Step 6 37
In other words, since even lengthy songs are se-
quences of these compositional units, or steps,
these songs can be finished with less steps.
With the MICRO BR, you can arrange sequences of
up to 50 steps.
