Copying difficult songs—Phrase Trainer
Your BR-532 features a built-in “Phrase Trainer.” The
Phrase Trainer records from the device connected to the
input jack (e.g., CD players or MD player) and then allows
you to play back a part of that recording repeatedly to allow
you to practice that portion again and again. You can also
slow down the playback to aid in copying fast phrases or
remove the guitar solo sound to play along with only the
backing instruments as a practice aid.
Preparations for using the Phrase Trainer
1. Record the song you want to copy onto tracks 3 and 4.
For how to record with the BR-532, refer to “Recording”
(p. 33).
* You cannot perform recording while you are using the Phrase
Trainer (Time Stretch or Center Cancel). Also, the Phrase
Trainer can also be used with tracks 3 and 4.
* You cannot use loop effects (p. 42) while you are using the
Phrase Trainer (Time Stretch or Center Cancel).
2. Repeat the portion of the song that you want to copy.
This will help you practice and copy a difficult phrase or
guitar solo as you can select any portion of the song and
have it repeated.
For how to repeat a portion of the song, refer to
“Repeating Playback” (p. 38).
Each time you press [PHRASE TRAINER], the Phrase
Trainer is on (the [PHRASE TRAINER] indicator lights) and
off (the indicator is off).
* When you turn off both the Time Stretch Function and the
Center Cancel Function, it doesn’t light.
Slowing down the speed
(Time Stretch function)
The Time Stretch function allows you to slow down the
speed of playback to a half of the normal speed without
changing the pitch.

helpful if you want to practice playing along with the
backing instruments.

possible to completely remove the central sound.
