The world's smallest guitar recording studio.

The Boss MICRO BR is the ultimate palmtop guitar companion and recording studio. Only slightly larger than an iPod, it offers four simultaneous playback tracks plus 32 virtual tracks, as well as MP3 compatibility, effects, rhythm patterns, a tuner, USB port, microphone, an SD card slot, and more. Only 5-3/8"W x 3-3/16"H x 7/8"D, it gives you over a dozen front panel controls. The included 128MB SD card allows over an hour of mono recording.

Four tracks and more
At its core, the MICRO BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record/input tracks. Each of the four main playback tracks also has eight companion V-Tracks (for a total of 32), so you can record take after take after take, then pick your best material for final mixdown.

Drum machine and effects onboard
Given the MICRO BR's small size and low price, you might be surprised to find two big features onboard. First it has almost 300 drum patterns. Use them for play-along inspiration or even as song foundations. The rhythms don't consume any of the four playback tracks-they play back independently. The second is a quality multi-effects processor including a time-stretch algorithm for changing the tempo of your audio tracks without changing pitch-a great tool for both audio editing and phrase training. The Time Stretch feature can also be used with MP3 data; the MICRO BR's Center Cancel feature can be applied to MP3 data as well.

MP3 compatibility
The MICRO BR is capable of loading and playing MP3 files. Load up your favorite guitar hero song via USB, slow down the tempo with no pitch change, and learn all of your favorite licks. You can even use the MICRO BR as a standard MP3 player. All of your data is stored on convenient SD (Secure Digital) media found in common electronics shops. The included 128MB card, for example, can record approximately 65 minutes of audio when one mono track is selected.

For greater portable protection check out the BA-MBR-S Silicone Rubber Case (703129) made by Roland specifically for the Micro BR.

I have owned it for three weeks.It looks great. It has tons of options. Its a great size for taking on trips but it your not a gadget person this thing will drive you crazy. The instruction book is more complex than the recorder. Its not simple to use and if you don't use it every day you will forget what you learned. Please read other reviews and try out other recorders before you buy.

I like this unit, but I had to give it 2 stars because it only takes a 1 gig card. It's becoming increasingly difficult to even find anyone who carries such a small card. I had this same problem with the last Boss studio I bought. It took a zip disk that was too small to handle anything but the shortests of songs. With technology changing as fast as it does, you would think that Boss would look ahead and make sure that their products can handle newer technology. When the next version of this micro comes out, I will buy one if it takes a much larger card.

This is a great little recorder. I'm not big fan of Boss's recorders. They always seem to want to cram as many features as possible into a unit, that you get bogged down in menus. But this one has a lot of features and it's very easy to use. This won't get you a studio quality recording. Although, very good at trying out different ideas. I would recommend a 1GB flash card. I was deciding between the Tascam DP-4 and this one. I'm happy with my choice.

I have had my micro BR since Feb and let me tell you that It is the Best investment I ever Made!! If you are interested in this great recorder, I recommend to go to the Boss micro Br. forum on the Web and listen and learn what this device could really do. For the people who say this recorder makes subpar recordings have not really messed with this great recorder. and if you are getting error messages like someone said here then you are using the wrong SD card. you will be amazed how great your recordings will sound. Iam still learning new techniques and tricks you can do with this. I have even been able to record up two 10 tracks on one up my songs and the end product has been beyond my expitations. if you are looking for a great multitrack recorder, do yourself a favor and check out the BOSS BR- website forum. you will be amazed and a believer!!!

Boss disapointed me with this one. This gear has good features indeed, but you keep losing data qith message errors all the time. I lost a work I was doing for a game developing company because of a error message. If you're gonna buy this one, be prepared to read a lot of error messages.
