BOSS BR-900CD Version 2 Digital Recording Studio
Small-But-Mighty Studio with Built-in Burner

See multimedia demonstrations of this unit on the Roland web site.

The BR-900CD the musician’s portable power studio with a CD-burner built in. It’s road tough, friendly to use, and it performs far beyond its weight class. This reliable all-in-one digital recorder stands out with its professional effects, realistic drum-pattern generator, vocal-correction and Mastering Toolkit, digital output, and internal CD burner. No matter where you are — in your home studio or on the road — all you’ll need is a BR-900CD, and you can write, record, edit, mix, master, and burn a complete polished CD anywhere, anytime.

With Version 2, BOSS takes the best BR features and expands it with dozens of new COSM® guitar-amp models, plus a super-cool new drum-editing software app and 500 minutes of recording time via 1GB Compact Flash.

The Best Gets Better

With the same reliable and ultra-friendly operation as BOSS’s popular BR-864, the BR-900CD takes three big steps forward by increasing the front-panel fader count from four to eight, and adding a built-in CD-RW drive and Pitch Correction to the feature set. The BR-900CD is compatible with CompactFlash cards up to 1GB capacity, which provides up to 624 minutes of record time (standard mode) in one shot. Even with all of these great new features, the unit’s footprint remains small for ease of travel.

Stellar Studio Effects

Proudly displaying the BOSS logo, the BR-900CD offers a lineup of quality effects that are worthy of the legendary name. In addition to the time-tested standards (reverb, EQ, chorus, delay), you’ll find additional pro-quality effects, such as vocal pitch-correction, intelligent harmony, bass simulation, pedal wah, COSM®-powered guitar amp and compressor models, and mastering tools.

Rhythm Programmer Onboard

Songwriters will appreciate the BR-900CD’s built-in rhythm programmer, packed with 294 expressive patterns. Use these realistic backing tracks as inspiration for writing and recording. You can even customize your own beats using the handy Tone Load function.

USB Spoken

Connect the BR-900CD to the outside world with one convenient USB connection. Import and export audio files and song data quickly and easily. Need to add some drum loops or vocal samples to your song? Simply drag and drop WAV files from USB-equipped computers directly into the BR-900CD. Conversely, you can export audio that you’ve created on the BR-900CD to computer.
