Practical applications of the BR-532
Reducing card memory use when creating songs
When the same phrase is repeated
(Example 1) Creating a song using Preset No. 11: HdRck5
fig.S05-01
When an identical phrase (rhythm guitar, bass, etc.) is repeated in the verse part, you can reduce the amount of memory
consumed on the memory card by using the following procedure to copy the repeating phrase.
1. Punch in/out at the beginning and ending of the part of Verse 1 that is to be repeated, then set Repeat AB before and after
that point (p. 45).
2. Repeat recording by punching in and out until you have recorded a satisfactory take (p. 48).
3. Set the Repeat AB before and after the punch in/out (p. 48).

4. Use AB Copy (see Note), then copy twice between A and B (p. 50).

(Note) If TIME Copy is used to copy twice between 002-1 and 003-1 in Step 3, then Step 4 is not necessary.
5. If the same phrase is also being used in Verse 2, specify the beginning of Verse 2 as the copy destination in Step 4, and
repeat the copy in the same fashion (p. 50).

This process lets you record with no unevenness in the performance, while also using less memory than you would need to
record the verse continuously.
Saving patterns
You can save edited patterns along with songs (refer to p. 65).
Basically, there is no need to conduct recording until the mastering.
Optimizing
After intensive use of the Track Edit functions, repeated punching in and out, and frequent use of other such procedures, you can
use the “Optimize” feature to increase the amount of free memory available on the memory card.
* Once Optimize is carried out, you’ll no longer be able to use the Undo function to revert to the prior state of data that’s been modified.
