BR600 : create a LOOP of 4, 8 or 16 bars of recorded audio and have it repeat?

[WarpCanada]

I have had a BR600 which I bought used on Reverb about a year or two ago for a while. It's great for recording my ad-hoc noodling on guitar.  Often I pair it with a looper pedal.

I play some chords into the looper pedal and keep time with the virtual drummer. 

But I don't want to play the chords through 32 times if the piece is going to have a 32 bar long thing.   I'd rather play four bars of chords and have the BR600 thing extrapolate a 16 or 32 bar piece for me.

The problem with a looper pedal (at least most basic ones, the boss loop station might be a better one) is that it doesn't know the tempo of your song, and doesn't know about the drum parts that the BR600 is generating for me to jam with.

What I would like is to record 4,8, or 16 bars of audio, and then have that part repeat for me.  I think I've read somewhere that the newer BR800 does this.  Maybe I need to go buy one of those.

Is there some way, even if it's more work, to do this on the BR600?  Or will I just need to live with a separate looper pedal outboard and get real good at tapping it at exactly the right millisecond that would keep the loop aligned perfectly.

The BR-600 doesn't have a looping feature like the BR-800, but it does have a Track Copy feature which lets you make as many copies as you like of a section of a track. The section to copy and the destination can be specified by time or by measure(s). See page 75 - 78 of the BR-600 Owner's Manual.

That's fantastic.  Once you get used to the front panel controls on here, it really lets you stay in the songwriting groove and not have to mess with a DAW or contemplate which bus compressor vst plugin you should use.   It's really a great little device.
