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 BackupA 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 backup recordings to your computer�s hard drive.A World of High-Quality EffectsThanks 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 ReduxThe 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 FeaturesWhile 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.Technical DescriptionTracks: 8V-Tracks: 64 (8 V-Tracks per each Track)* Up to 2 tracks can be recorded simultaneously, and up to 8 tracks can be played back simultaneously.Useful Data StorageCapacity: CompactFlash: 32 MB to 1 GBData Type: HiFi (MT2), STANDARD (LV1), LONG (LV2)Sample Rate 44.1 kHzDigital Resolution: 16-bitRecording TimeHiFi (MT2)32 MB: 16 minutes64 MB: 32minutes128 MB: 65 minutes256 MB: 130 minutes512 MB: 260 minutes1GB: 520 minutesSTANDARD (LV1)32 MB: 19 minutes64 MB: 39 minutes128 MB: 78 minutes256 MB: 156 minutes512 MB: 312 minutes1GB: 624 minutesLONG (LV2)32 MB: 24 minutes64 MB: 49 minutes128 MB: 98 minutes256 MB: 196 minutes512 MB: 392 minutes1GB: 784 minutes* The above-listed recording times are approximate.
