Meanwhile, the Roland/BOSS booth also generated lots of enthusiasm for two new multitrack recorders. The BOSS BR-1200CD makes 12-track recording easy with its icon-based user interface and logically arranged buttons, knobs and faders. There’s even a dedicated Audio CD Write/Play button for quick access to the CD burning menu. The BR-1200CD is also equipped with an awesome set of multi-effects derived from BOSS’ famous GT-6 and GT-6B. A lineup of COSM amp models are in machine, along with BOSS compact pedal models and COSM mic models.
The BR-1200CD’s built-in bass and drum programmer is packed with instruments and patterns to suit any style. Realistic acoustic drums and percussion sounds are included, as well as many electronic sounds. For bass, you can choose from slapped, picked and fretless basses. There’s also a selection of great loop phrases pre-installed on the internal hard drive. With the EZ Compose function, custom programming is a snap. The BR-1200CD has a USB port for simple one-cable data exchange with your computer. You can import and export audio in WAV format and save backups of your song data.
