SMALL BUT POWERFUL
The Micro BR is so
small you can put it in your pocket! It measures just
136mm x 21.4mm (5 3/8" x 3 3/16" x 7/8").
But even though it's tiny, the Micro BR packs an entire
studio worth of features into its tiny case. There
are a dozen buttons on its front and even a built-in
microphone for quick capture. A free carry case is
included.
FOUR TRACKS IS JUST
THE START
The Micro BR is a four-track
studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two
simultaneous record / input tracks. However, there's
more to this recorder then meets the eye. 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,
then pick your best material for the final mixdown.
DRUM MACHINE ONBOARD
Almost 300 drum patterns are included.
use them for play-along inspiration or even as song foundations.
The onboard rhythms don't consume any of the four playback
tracks - they play back independently leaving your tracks
free for vocals and guitar. So you can start your track
even if the drummer hasn't turned up.
CLASSIC BOSS EFFECTS
INCLUDED
A quality multi-effects processor is
built into the Micro BR for enhancing your recordings
and for creative experimentation. Amp modelling, compressor,
delay... they're all here. And if you want the change
the tempo of your MP3 audio without changing pitch (great
for phrase training), you can apply the Micro BR's Time
Stretch effect to MP3 or WAV file playback.
MP3 PLAYBACK
The Micro also plays
MP3's, although hopefully you'll be producing your
own music in no time meaning other people will be able
to share your latest tracks. The Micro BR's Centre
Cancel feature can be applied to MP3/WAV file playback,
which helps minimise the vocal or lead-guitar track
on pre-recorded songs for play-along style practice
or performance.
TUNE-IN AND DROP OUT
The Micro BR also includes
a no-nonsence guitar tuner, cutting down on the amount
of extra gear you have to carry with you. Press the tuner
button, nail your note and you're off.
TALK IS CHEAP
- USES AFFORDABLE SD RECORDING CARDS
There are no moving
parts inside the Micro BR. It's a road-tough, digital
recorder that uses memory-cards for storage. The recording
media of choice is a widely available SD (Secure Digital)
Card which can be easily found in electronics shops
that sell digital cameras. One tiny SD Card can store
your sessions, with the included 128MB card able to
record approximately 65 minutes of audio with one mono
track selected.
