Affordable and Portable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BR-864 is not only BOSS’ smallest 8-track recorder, but it’s
also our most affordable. With 64 Virtual Tracks, there’s plenty
of room to track multiple overdubs, vocals and instruments.
A 128MB Compact Flash 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 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 back up 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.
8-Track Digital Recording to Go.

®
effects,
