Includes 128MB flash card. Programmable drum track. 16-bit recording.
Overview
The Boss BR-864 puts 8-track digital recording in the palm of your hand. Never has so much power been available in such a small package. With features like 64 Virtual Tracks, onboard COSM(R) effects, CompactFlash media for recording and a built-in USB port, the BR-864 has everything guitarists and songwriters need to turn ideas into songs.
Features:
Compact 8-track digital recording studio with intuitive Boss-style operation
Uses 128MB CompactFlash media (included) for over 60 minutes of recording time
8-track simultaneous playback; 64 Virtual Tracks (V-Tracks) for recording
Programmable Rhythm Guide drum track with Tone Load function
Insert/Loop effects with COSM Guitar Amp Modeling and Bass Simulator, plus new wah effects, guitar synth and Harmonist
New dedicated track EQ for all 8 playback tracks
Instrument/Hi-Z Instrument input, XLR and 1/4-inch Microphone inputs, plus stereo RCA Line input
USB port for .WAV/AIFF file exchange with PCs; S/PDIF digital output and built-in microphone and battery power for recording any time, any place
Affordable and Portable
The BR-864 is not only Boss smallest 8-track recorder, but it's also their most affordable. With 64 Virtual Tracks, there's plenty of room to track multiple overdubs, vocals and instruments. A 128MB CompactFlash card comes standard, giving you over an hour's worth of high-quality recording time.
Easy USB File Exchange and Data Backup
A built-in USB port makes it easy to import and export audio with USB-equipped… read more computers. Now you can load and convert .WAV/AIFF files from your Mac or PC directly into a track, or export your song for CD-burning and MP3 creation. The USB port also makes for a great way to archive and backup recordings to your computer's hard drive.
A World of High-Quality Effects
Thanks to COSM modeling, guitarists can plug right into the BR-864 and get killer tone every time. Simply choose from several COSM Amp Models and you'll sound huge. There's even a Bass Simulator that lets you lay down bass from a guitar -- plus several new effects like wah, guitar synth and a Harmonist for scale-intelligent pitch shifting.
Rhythm Guide Redux
The Rhythm Guide function has been beefed up considerably for the BR-864. First, Boss added full programmability, meaning you can tap in your own drum patterns in addition to the dozens of great-sounding presets. A new Tone Load function lets you add custom drum sounds by importing .WAV/AIFF files. Best of all, the Rhythm Guide doesn't use any of the 64 recording tracks, so you still get eight playback tracks and drums.
Guitar-Friendly Features
While anyone can benefit from the BR-864's portability and power, guitarists in particular will appreciate having a dedicated Hi-Z input and onboard tuner. There's also a Phrase Trainer function that lets you slow down riffs, making them easier to learn. And since the BR-864 runs on batteries, you can take this little 8-track studio anywhere. read less
