Introduction to the BR-864
Editing Functions
With the BR-864, you can perform editing operations such as
copying, moving, and erasing, which cannot be done with
multitrack recorders that use tapes. This means operations
such as copying and repeating a multiple-bar phrase, moving
a multiple-bar phrase to another track, and erasing the data
of a track, whole or in part, can be performed with ease.
Non-destructive editing
Being a digital recorder, the BR-864 offers non-destructive
editing. With non-destructive editing, after performing any
editing and recording operations, you can still return your
data to its previous state (undo and redo functions).
“Canceling an Operation (Undo/Redo)” (p. 55)
Quick movement to a point
You can assign a marker to any point in a track that you wish
(locator function). If you assign markers to locations such as
the end of the opening or the beginning of a solo, you will be
able to move instantly to the point where you wish to begin
listening.
”Registering time (Locator Function)” (p. 70)
Equipped with chromatic tuner
(A0 to B6 sound range)
Your BR-864 is also equipped with a chromatic tuner so that
you can tune your guitar or bass while it is still connected to
the BR-864 (p. 137).
Phrase Trainer Function
When you play back a song you have recorded from the CD
player or the MD player, you can slow down the tempo
without changing the pitch. Also, you can remove the sound
you hear at the center (such as vocals and guitar solo) from
the song. (p. 139)
Full complement of input connectors
(jacks)
Your BR-864 is equipped with the input jacks shown below.
GUITAR/BASS:
This high-impedance input jack allows you to directly
connect your guitar or bass (accepts 1/4” phone plugs).
MIC:
These jacks allow a mic to be connected. Both standard TRS
jacks (p. 21, p. 24) and XLR jacks are provided. A built-in
microphone is also included, so you can perform recordings
with the BR-864 even when you don’t have a microphone
connected.
* The built-in microphone can be turned on or off (p. 32).
LINE:
These jacks accept stereo input from keyboards, CD players,
and other devices at line level (RCA phono jacks).
For output, in addition to the LINE OUT jacks (stereo RCA
phono jacks), optical DIGITAL OUT connectors are also
provided for high-quality digital recording to digital audio
recording devices (e.g., CD recorders and MD recorders).
USB:
Connecting your computer here allows you to exchange data
between the BR-864 and a computer.
Two-way power supply allows
you to record anywhere
You can use the BR-864 powered by batteries (six size AA
dry cells) or with the AC adaptor.
And, thanks to its built-in microphone, you can make
recordings anywhere and anytime you desire.
What is COSM (Composite Object Sound
Modeling)?

called “modeling” technology. COSM is proprietary
Roland technology that creates new sounds by
combining various sound modeling technologies.
