Easy Multitrack RecordingThe BR-1600CD includes eight sweet-sounding XLR microphone inputs with phantom power. Use them to mic up a drum set or to record your entire band in a single pass. Recording eight tracks at once is easy, thanks to a new "Multi-Track" recording mode--just pick your inputs and start recording while taking advantage of powerful channel effects like a compressor, 3-band EQ, and bass-cut filter.Superb Guitar and Vocal EffectsPlug into the BR-1600CD and you've got an arsenal of world-class BOSS effects ranging from reverb, delay, chorus, and modulation to the latest modeling effects for guitar, bass, and vocals. These include powerful overdrive/distortion and amp modeling identical to the BOSS GT-6, acoustic and bass effects, plus mic modeling and a new Vocal Tool Box. This special algorithm includes auto pitch correction to keep you in tune, plus a Harmony Sequence function for creating realistic harmonies-no background singers needed!Build Your Own Backing TracksThe BR-1600CD now includes separate Drum, Bass, and Loop Phrase tracks for creating complete backing arrangements. The Drum and Bass tracks come with high-quality PCM sounds. The Loop Phrase track can be loaded with user samples, or you can choose from a collection of loop phrases pre-loaded onto the hard disk. Using these tracks, you can build professional-quality arrangements for your guitar and vocals.Complete Connectivity with USB and V-LINKThe BR-1600CD's USB port makes it easy to load .WAV/AIFF files into a track, or export your audio for further editing in software or data backup. Want to integrate video with your music? Using V-LINK and an optional Edirol video editor, you can control and manipulate images using the BR-1600CD's buttons and knobs. It's easy and you'll love the results. With the BR-1600CD, the sky's the limit!
