Error Messages
If you attempt an incorrect operation or if an operation could
not be executed, the display will indicate an error message.
Refer to this list and take the appropriate action.
Battery Low!
Cause: The batteries are depleted (6 x AA dry-cell
batteries).
Solution: Replace the batteries as soon as possible
(p. 22).
Cannot Edit! Quantize is Low!
Cause: During Step Recording of a pattern, the
Quantize setting is too coarse, so multiple
entries are appearing at the same point in the
matrix.
Solution: Fine the Quantize setting (p. 100).
Cannot Edit! This is a Preset
Cause: Preset data is selected; you cannot edit this
data.
Solution: Copy the song data and then edit that.
Cannot Insert!
Cause: No further steps or measures can be entered.
Solution: When creating Arrangement, a maximum of
50 steps and 999 measures can be set.
Cannot Program! Rhythm Guide Off
Cause: The Rhythm Guide is switched off, so you
cannot program it.
Solution: Press [ARRANGE/PATTERN/OFF] to select
Arrange mode or Pattern mode.
ERROR! Card Busy
Cause: If this message appears after you have been
using the memory card with the BR-864, the
data on the card has become fragmented,
causing delays in reading and writing data.
Or, you could be using memory card with a
slow processing speed.
Solution 1: Reduce the number of tracks that are played
back simultaneously. Use track bouncing etc.
to combine tracks, or erase or cut data from
tracks which you do not need to playback, and
then try the playback again.
Solution 2: Reduce the number of tracks that are being
recorded simultaneously.
Solution 3: Reduce the Data Type (STD (LV1) or LONG
(LV2)), and then try creating the song again.
* In cases of unfavorable card access conditions, such as when
track editing or punch-in recording etc. is used to connect
phrases (musical data) of several seconds.
ERROR! Card Full
Cause: It is not possible to record or copy due to
small memory capacity.
Solution: Back up the data you need to your computer
(p. 158), and delete unneeded data.
ERROR! CARD Read
Cause: Memory card data cannot be loaded correctly.
Solution 1: Turn off the BR-864, properly insert the
memory card, then turn the BR-864 back on.
Solution 2: Initialize the card (p. 149).
* If the same message appears after you have taken the above
steps, it is possible that the memory card is malfunctioning.
ERROR! Card Write
Cause: An error occurred while writing data to the
memory card.
Solution: The memory card must be initialized (p. 149).
Also, the song data you had been attempting
to save will be lost.
ERROR! Event Full
Cause: The BR-864 has used up all the events that
can be handled by one song.
Solution: Perform the Song Optimize operation (p. 84).
ERROR! Memory Full
Cause: The total time of the drum sounds for one
drum kit that can be loaded with tone load
has exceeded 13 seconds.
Solution: Make sure the drum sounds being loaded by
means of tone load do not exceed a total of 13
seconds (p. 105, p. 170).
ERROR! MIDI Buffer Full
Cause: Excessive number of MIDI messages being
output.
Solution 1: Either decrease the tempo of the Rhythm
Guide or reduce the number of Note messages
(p. 93, p. 96).
Solution 2: Set the RhyMIDI ch to “OFF” (p. 142).
What is an event?
The smallest unit of memory used by the BR-864 to store
recorded results on disk is the event. A newly created song
provides approximately 1,000 events per song.
For each track, one recording pass uses two events. Operations
such as punch-in/out or track copy also use up events.
The number of events that are used up will fluctuate in a
complex way.
Even if there is capacity remaining on the memory card, further
recording or track editing will not be possible if all of the events
are used up. In such cases, an error message such as “Event
Full” will appear.
