Saving my work with the drum arranger

Started by brent_faceoff, May 26, 2008, 09:29:47 AM

Hi guys!  Well after a long wait and lots of thought I went ahead and bought a BR 600 instead of a Micro.  I've been in recording for a while, my last studio being comprised of a Roland VS-2480 and about $2,000 worth of extras.  To my amazement, this little sucker is getting me some great sounds and I know I've only scratched the surface!  I downloaded the drum arranger and proceeded to write an entire arrangement, write it, and then not be able to use in on my 600!

I named and wrote all of my patterns, drug them to the arranger, wrote the arrangement on the first slot (I think Song 001), and then couldn't use it!  I was pretty confused last night!  I searched the forums for this topic and saw I should save it in a folder?

My question is, once I have the arrangement written, how do I transfer that rhythm track to my 600?  My 600 is on the BACKUP function and communicates with my computer just fine.  Thanks for your help guys!  I'm excited to be here!

If your sure you wrote(saved) the arrangement and are sure you have connectivity to the 600, the arrangement is there. The question is now where.
I'd make sure the the arrangement is saved to the correct song.
If you reconnect the 600 and can find the arrangement, it's there for sure.
Every song has 5 possible arrangements ( pretty sure it's 5)They are not shared between songs. So make sure the arrangement you want is saved to the correct song or else you won't be able to use it
hope this helps

That's it!  Thanks man, you're a lifesaver!  I was on song 3 and it was saved to song 1!  Thanks for your help, I'll have to post some work when I get more time.  I'm a teacher and summer officially started for me about 2 hours ago!  Plenty of time now.  Thanks again, I was starting to lose hope!
